Ridolfi, Rosso di Montalcino, 2023

Ridolfi's Rosso di Montalcino is a ready-to-drink Sangiovese from north-facing slopes in Tuscany—young and vibrant, not the cathedral-building style of Brunello. Hand-harvested grapes go into a 50-day maceration in stainless steel, creating a wine of bright color and immediate appeal: ripe plum and black pepper meet sweet fruit on the palate, held together by tightly woven tannins and a mineral finish.
