The 1999 Rosso di Montalcino's incredible perfume soars from the glass, offering up scents of raspberry liqueur, sweet new leather, flowers, earth, and minerals. A glorious hedonistic turn-on, the wine is elegant, supple-textured, and complex. It is one of the finest Rossos this small artisan producer has made. Enjoy it over the next 5-6 years.
