This fairly rich 2004 Rosso di Montalcino offers plenty of super-ripe red fruit and mineral notes with excellent length and lovely balance, all while maintaining a sense of classicism and finesse in its proportions. Made from the estate’s less well-exposed plants, it fully expresses the house’s hallmark style in miniature. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2010.
