The 2020 Rosso di Montalcino Colto is spicy and deeply perfumed. This displays raspberries, dried violets, spiced orange peels and hints of smoke. The 2020 washes across the palate with undeniable elegance, contrasting a salty flourish with vivid ripe fruits and a hint of sour citrus that pops towards the close. It leaves a staining of blue- and purple-toned florals, along with a residual bite of acidity that maintains a wonderful freshness. There’s a lovely balance here as the 2020 communicates both opulence but also importance. The Colto is a selection from all of the Romitorio vineyards, including a 10-hectare parcel of experimental clones from around Tuscany that is now 14 years old. Only 550 cases were produced. It’s refined in second-pass tonneaux for six months, followed by another six months of cement.
