2006 Banfi Rosso di Montalcino Tuscany, Italy $23.99/ btl
Maybe the Sangiovese based Rosso di Montalcino wines are meant to be consumed whilst one waits for the Brunellos to be released, and this wine is no exception. That doesn't mean that this cherry and tea inflected beauty wont age well. It has all the acidity a good Sangiovese should have, and the tannin to back it up… needless to say it is very drinkable now, and softens quite nicely in the glass over the course of a fine meal. Paired with something delicious like, say, beef stew, this wine does wonders for the palate! Pass the warm baguette, please… and thank you.
