Several months ago I participated in a blind tasting of Rosso and Brunello di Montalcino where all twelve tasters preferred most of the Rosso di Montalcinos to the Brunellos. What is the lesson to be gleaned from that exercise? Brunello di Montalcinos are more serious wines, but Rosso di Montalcinos provide delicious, up-front, richly fruity drinking where patience is not required. A great Brunello needs 7-10 years in the cellar, whereas a Rosso is meant to be drunk during its first 5-7 years of life. Pertimali's dark ruby-colored 1994 Rosso di Montalcino is a soft, plump, richly fruity, velvety-textured wine. It is a simple, but delicious, fruity, round wine for consuming over the next 2-3 years.
