A Brunello with one foot firmly planted in tradition and the other happily wandering off the beaten path. The Rossi Cantini family farms their Montalcino vineyards with a deep respect for nature, producing wines that balance rustic Tuscan character with surprising elegance. Expect dark cherries, dried roses, tobacco, and warm spice, with beautifully structured tannins and a long, savory finish. Give it a little time in the decanter and serve alongside slow-braised short ribs, wild boar ragù, or a generous plate of porcini mushroom pappardelle.
