This soft and engaging wine is all about red fruits, notably cherries, strawberries and plums. Made from 100% Sangiovese grapes, the wine is fresh, fruity and mouth-filling. It was aged 10 to 12 months in French oak barriques and then in large Slavonian oak barrels followed by 6 months of bottle aging. Unless it has been stored in a cool cellar you might want to chill the Rosso very slightly during these blisteringly hot summer months.
