About this product
The elegance of Montalcino, ready to enjoy today.
San Felice Rosso di Montalcino is a beautiful expression of Tuscany's most celebrated grape, Sangiovese, crafted by one of the region's most respected estates. While Brunello di Montalcino is renowned for its power, structure and remarkable ageing potential, Rosso di Montalcino offers a fresher, more approachable interpretation without sacrificing the unmistakable character of this legendary terroir. Every bottle reflects the rolling vineyards surrounding the medieval hilltop town of Montalcino, delivering vibrant fruit, refined structure and the timeless elegance that has made Tuscan wines famous across the globe.
Produced from the same noble grape and within the same prestigious winemaking area as Brunello, Rosso di Montalcino allows the purity of Sangiovese to shine with youthful energy. The combination of warm Tuscan sunshine, cooling breezes and mineral-rich soils creates a wine that balances ripe cherry fruit with lively acidity and refined tannins, making it wonderfully versatile at the table.
For wine lovers in Ireland, this is an authentic taste of Tuscany that fits effortlessly into both everyday dining and special occasions. Whether paired with a comforting homemade pasta, a Sunday roast or an elegant dinner shared with friends, San Felice Rosso di Montalcino delivers the unmistakable charm, balance and authenticity that have earned Montalcino its world-class reputation.
Why we love it:San Felice consistently produces wines that combine tradition, elegance and exceptional drinkability, and this Rosso di Montalcino is no exception. It offers all the classic character of Montalcino—bright Sangiovese fruit, refined tannins and remarkable balance—in a style that is approachable from release while still possessing genuine depth and complexity. It's one of those bottles that effortlessly elevates an ordinary dinner without ever feeling reserved only for special occasions.
