ROSSO DI MONTALCINO DOC

The Rosso di Montalcino DOC of Sasso di Sole is the most versatile and most immediately accessible wine in the estate's range — the wine that provides the pleasures of the Terzuoli family's Montalcino philosophy without the years of patience that the Brunello wines demand. It is a wine for convivial situations, for the table set without ceremony, for the appreciation of Montalcino's extraordinary terroir in its most welcoming form.

Produced from the same Sangiovese Grosso that provides the foundation for all the estate's wines, the Rosso di Montalcino receives a lighter treatment than its elder siblings: a vinification approach that preserves the freshness and immediacy of the fruit rather than extracting the full structural potential that the Brunello wines require, and an ageing protocol calibrated for earlier consumption.

The wine presents as intense ruby red — the colour of concentration and vitality — with explosive aromas that highlight a bouquet of ripe red fruits and fresh roses. This aromatic generosity and freshness is the most immediately distinctive quality of this wine: the Sangiovese Grosso at Sasso di Sole, even in its most accessible expression, carries the specific mineral and fruit character of the Montalcino terroir and the indigenous yeast philosophy that the estate applies throughout.

Full-bodied with soft and silky tannins, the wine is balanced and lively — qualities that make it both immediately pleasant and capable of rewarding short to medium-term cellaring. The finish is long and persistent, appreciated both young and aged — an honest description of a wine that genuinely delivers at both moments.
