Smoke, tobacco, tar and black cherries are some of the many notes that literally explode from the glass in the 2011 Rosso di Montalcino. A big, structured wine, the 2011 has plenty of personality, character and complexity. Although a bit rustic, this is a solid effort from Casanuova delle Cerbaie. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2016.
