TERRALSOLE ROSSO MONTALCINO

Mario Bollag, the former owner of Il Palazzone, has created a tremendous new property in the southeastern corner of Montalcino near Castelnuovo dell'Abate. Here the winery is aptly named (Earth to the Sun) and this new terroir is bathed in a glorious sunny southern exposure.
The cantina is state of the art. During harvest, the grapes are driven up to what appears to be the roof of an underground cellar with a number of skylights, which lead to the stainless steel tanks. Therefore, during sort and destemming, gravity draws the grapes into the tanks and there is limited use for pumps that add undue stress to the fruit.

Grape: Sangiovese Grosso 100%.

Color: Intense ruby red.

Bouquet: Ample and persistent with fruit notes well matched and balanced by wood derived secondary aromas.

Taste: The wine boasts a strong structure with good tannins.
 It is soft in the mouth with pleasant echoes of fresh ripe fruit.
