Rosso di Montalcino is Brunello's earlier-drinking sibling — same Sangiovese, same vineyards, but younger and aimed straight at the dinner table. At Canalicchio di Sopra, the Ripaccioli family's Rosso is essentially a baby Brunello drawn primarily from their northern-zone Canalicchio vineyards (calcareous clay), with a small portion from Montosoli (free-draining galestro) in some vintages, with shorter aging that keeps the fruit fresh and the texture supple. The 2024 is a current release built for now: bright red cherry, herbal lift, fine-grained tannins, and the kind of energetic acidity that makes Sangiovese such a natural with food. A great way into one of Montalcino's most respected northern-zone producers without waiting on the Brunellos to come around.

"The 2024 Rosso di Montalcino marries the vintage's elegance with the pure and complex house style. Crushed black cherries and cedary spices meet lifting nuances of mint and dusty rose as this evolves in the glass. It’s silken and dense, with a wave of ripe red berry fruits and vibrant acidity underscored by crisp minerality. There’s a weight to the 2024 that adds presence, even as it finishes incredibly fresh, with hints of tart raspberry and a saline resonance. This is a baby Brunello by every stretch of the imagination." —Eric Guido

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Pappardelle with ragu, grilled lamb chops, pizza margherita, herb-roasted chicken, or a charcuterie board. Sangiovese's all-purpose acidity makes this a serious weeknight wine for tomato-based and grilled-meat cooking alike.

Tasting Profile

Bright red cherry, raspberry, wild strawberry, and a flicker of dried herb over notes of clay and crushed stone. The palate is medium-bodied and energetic with fine-grained tannins, vibrant acidity, and a clean, savory, mineral-tinged finish.
