San Filippo Lo Scorno Rosso di Montalcino

A magnificent Central Italian red wine displaying a brilliant, vibrant ruby red color. Crafted from 100% Sangiovese estate grapes grown on north and northeast-facing clayey-calcareous slopes, this expression opens with a clean, highly expressive bouquet of fresh red cherries, crushed wild strawberries, and pomegranates. The complex nose is beautifully layered with regional undertones of licorice root, damp forest floor, fresh violet petals, and a faint hint of white pepper. On the palate, it balances a energetic, medium-bodied red fruit core and a lifted, linear mountain acidity with silky, fine-grained tannins, concluding in a remarkably fresh, persistent finish marked by savory graphite minerality.

Food Pairing: Pairs flawlessly with pork meatballs in savory tomato sauce, fresh orecchiette pasta with spicy sausage, herb-roasted poultry, and semi-hard Italian cheeses.
