Frutti Rossi Sangiovese superiore riserva Fattoria Monticino Rosso review and tasting notes

Frutti Rossi Sangiovese Superiore Riserva from the Fattoria Monticino Rosso winery is a pleasant and clean red wine that focuses on the freshness of the fruit, good flavor, a certain elegance and lots of pulp. Thank god it is a more modern and approachable Sangiovese blend, with a return to the past, without the use of heavy barriques and without focusing on a chewy mastic extract, on the contrary, the quickstep, the subtle elegance and delicate aromas make it an excellent wine unpretentious newspaper.

How is made

Harvest by hand, maceration for two weeks and then aging in large wood and bottle: in this way the wine can sharpen its finesse, focuses on the most ethereal and sweet notes and does not develop overripe fruit or Sunday bodybuilder muscles.

Organoleptic characteristics of Frutti Rossi Sangiovese Superiore Riserva Fattoria Monticino Rosso

Beautiful bouquet full of flowers, earth, leaves and earthy references that intertwine with berries and cherries in alcohol. The air is graceful, there are no jams, on the contrary very pleasant tones of tomato and flowers that testify how the wine has been made as naturally as possible, without make-up or hair.

On the palate, the fruit is very fresh, round and charming, with the right depth, medium structure, never aggressive. There are no cooked plums, but watermelon and a cascade of flowers. Sangiovese at its peak of pleasantness: it does not want to be a definitive bottle, but pleasant and typical yes, played on subtle balances that chase each other. There is no lack of pulp and juice, the breadth is not in its strings, but it is born to be a more immediate wine. Overall, the 2018 vintage is already more than ready to drink and very pleasant, still biting in acidity, so it can easily evolve for 5-6 years in the cellar.

Price

13 euros: ok, the price is right, well-calibrated and reflects the quality of the bottle.

Food pairings

Wine with a clear carnivorous predisposition: excellent as an aperitif, but you can take it to any summer barbecue and you will finish the bottle in no time. Also try spicy Indian cuisine, Thai cuisine and street food.
