Col d’Orcia, Rosso di Montalcino (Tuscany, Italy) 2012

I’m a sucker for well-made Rosso di Montalcino because they deliver a glimmer of the grandeur of Brunello at an affordable price without having to cellar them.  Not a boisterous wine, Col d’Orcia’s 2012 Rosso di Montalcino has a great perfume, followed by seductive elegance supported by fine tannins.  There’s amazing complexity in this delicate wine.  It would be a great choice now to accompany a grilled veal chop.
