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

Fascinating and layered on the nose, with aromas of red cherry, black plum and delicate floral notes, followed by hints of forest floor, mushrooms, dried herbs and tea. On the palate it is harmonious and enveloping, medium-full bodied, supported by a fresh, well-integrated acidity. The tannins are silky and finely textured, lending elegance and seamless flow to the wine. The finish is long, balanced and savory, with notes of toasted hazelnut and mocha, promising excellent aging potential.
