La Magia Rosso di Montalcino 2024

The 2024 La Magia Rosso di Montalcino is a vibrant and high-energy expression of 100% Sangiovese, reflecting the freshness of the vintage. It presents a bright ruby-red colour with violet reflections. The nose is immediate and inviting, offering a complex bouquet of ripe marasca cherries, wild strawberries, and raspberries, layered with floral notes of violet and subtle hints of orange peel and black pepper. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and exceptionally dynamic, showcasing a smooth, juicy texture supported by dense yet velvety tannins and a lively acidity. Fermented in stainless steel and aged for approximately 9 months in a combination of 500L tonneaux, large barrels, and amphora, it concludes with a persistent, clean finish marked by savory mineral notes and a touch of Mediterranean scrub.

Food Pairing: Perfectly complements pasta with meat sauces, grilled steaks, braised lamb, and hard cheeses like aged Pecorino.
