Profile & Story

Tassi Montalcino is a small, family-run winery rooted in Montalcino, founded in the late 1990s by Fabio Tassi and his father Giuseppe, building on a long-standing agricultural tradition dating back to the 1960s. The estate farms 7 hectares across different areas of the appellation, working exclusively with Sangiovese and practicing organic viticulture. Each vineyard is vinified separately to highlight the individuality of terroir and vintage. Tassi’s philosophy balances respect for tradition with a spirit of experimentation, including an amphora-aged Sangiovese project launched in 2018. The wines are authentic, elegant expressions of Montalcino and its land.

Tasting Notes

Intense and seductive on the nose, with aromas of cherry, raspberry and red plum, enriched by balsamic, floral and spicy notes of cocoa, cinnamon, dried flowers, almond and flint. The palate is full and enveloping, supported by a bright acidity that brings lift and freshness. The tannins are fine, silky and well integrated, while the finish is long, elegant and fragrant, with hints of licorice, mocha and citrus. A wine of great grace and depth, destined to fully reveal itself after a few years of aging.
