Description
The Rosso di Montalcino DOC 2003 La Pescaia is a notable red wine from the Montalcino region in Tuscany, Italy. Produced by La Pescaia, this vintage represents a traditional Sangiovese-based wine designed for early drinking while maintaining elegance and a hint of aging potential.
Tasting Notes:
The 2003 vintage is now mature and expressive. The nose offers aromas of red cherry, raspberry, dried herbs, and subtle spice, with gentle earthy and balsamic hints developing over time.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied, balanced, and harmonious, with soft tannins and refreshing acidity. Flavors of red berries, plum, light tobacco, and hints of leather unfold, leading to a smooth, lingering finish. Compared to its elder sibling Brunello, Rosso di Montalcino is lighter, more approachable, and drinkable earlier.
Serving & Food Pairing:
Best served at 16–18°C. Decanting is optional to open up aromas.
Pairs well with:
Roasted meats
Pasta with tomato-based sauces
Grilled vegetables
Mild to medium-aged cheeses
