Verbena - Rosso di Montalcino DOCG 2023

Rosso di Montalcino DOC 2023 – Verbena
The 2023 Rosso from Azienda Agricola Verbena is a fresh and expressive take on Sangiovese Grosso, capturing the youthful vibrancy of Montalcino in a polished, estate-grown wine. Sourced from younger vines and made with traditional care, it offers early approachability without sacrificing depth.

In the glass, it shines with a vivid ruby hue. The nose is open and fragrant, revealing notes of red cherry, raspberry, and rose petal, with subtle touches of fresh herbs, white pepper, and damp earth. Its aromatic clarity speaks to both the vintage and the estate's focus on purity.

On the palate, it is medium-bodied and finely textured, delivering flavors of tart cherry, pomegranate, and hints of tea leaf. Bright acidity and smooth tannins create a lively structure, while a mineral finish adds persistence and elegance. This is a graceful Rosso meant to be enjoyed young, though its balance allows for short-term cellaring.

The 2023 vintage emphasizes brightness and finesse, making this wine a versatile companion to a range of dishes, from pasta with tomato-based sauces to grilled meats.
