Profile & Story
Listed on some restaurant menus as 'La Colina,' this wine corresponds to Il Palazzone's NV Rosso del Palazzone. Il Palazzone is a boutique estate just outside Montalcino producing Brunello di Montalcino in a traditional style from three separate vineyard areas; Rosso del Palazzone is the estate's versatile, 100% Sangiovese non-vintage wine, made for over fifteen years as a byproduct of the Brunello selection process — the best lots are set aside for Brunello, and what remains is assembled into this more playful bottling. The current release (Lot 01/25) blends Sangiovese from the 2024, 2023 and 2022 vintages.
Tasting Notes
A typical Montalcino Sangiovese, it shows pleasantly silky tannins and juicy red-currant acidity in a fresh, balanced style; earlier lots of this same house blend have been described by critics as redolent of bitter almond, fresh cherry and raspberry, with a fresh, informal character.
