The wine
What does this wine taste like?
Rubesco Vigna Monticchio is a red wine with a warm and intense profile made from single-variety Sangiovese grapes. Elegant and with a solidly structure, it has a deep ruby colour and a complex bouquet reminiscent of morello cherry and blackberry, delicate hints of violet and light mentholated notes and a spicy finish.
Over the years, it evolves towards a garnet colour and expresses all the class of Sangiovese for ageing. In fact, it expresses evolved notes of bitter cocoa, sweet tobacco and goudron, with ethereal and enamel puffs.
Highly concentrated, fruity and slightly balsamic, it expresses a harmonious and balanced progression in its youth. It has soft, velvety tannins and a long, persistent finish. It manages to perfectly balance pleasantness and austerity, thanks to the class and freshness of Sangiovese.
