2022 Rosso di Montalcino, La Magia, Tuscany, Italy

The fruit here is selected from La Màgia’s ‘young vines’, which are still 15-20 years old. Fermentation temperatures sit below 26 degrees and maceration is kept short, to protect the racy primary character of the wine. The Rosso sees nine months in oak, predominantly older 500l tonneaux with some botti and 10% maturing in amphora. It is generous and open, whilst still holding on to a little mystery. There are layers of fresh cherry, cranberry and bright red berries, with a gentle, earthy complexity and lavender top notes. Fabian loves the 2022 vintage, and thinks it is as good as the 2019. There is such a special energy to La Màgia’s early drinking style.
