James Suckling 91pt

Dried and sour cherries, dried leaves, citrus zest and porcini on the nose. It's medium-bodied with firm tannins and bright acidity. Juicy, bright and savory.

by James Suckling, 2021

Tasting notes

Rosso is imminently drinkable, with bright cherry, incense and smoky scents. The wine is medium-bodied on the palate, with fine tannins and good acidity to complement the buoyant fruit. While this is totally enjoyable now, it will age nicely for the next seven years.

Estate

Purchased by Mr. Mauro Pacini in 1983 and upgraded with the most advanced winemaking installations, Fattoria la Lecciaia is a wine estate that combines a young, dynamic approach to the wine business, while strictly adhering to the antique traditions of Brunello di Montalcino. Located in “località Vallafrico” and surrounded by the vineyards of some of the most iconic estates of the area, the estate is in the center of the original micro-terroir where the world-famous Brunello di Montalcino was first produced.
