Monticino Rosso Le Morine Sangiovese Red Wine 2020 750ml 14.5% (Italy)

🍷 Monticino Rosso Le Morine Sangiovese Red Wine 2020 is a dry red wine from the hills around Imola in Emilia-Romagna, Italy. Its full designation is Romagna DOC Sangiovese Superiore Riserva. Made from Sangiovese, this is a substantial dinner wine for drinkers who enjoy expressive fruit and the depth associated with oak maturation. The photographed bottle confirms the 2020 vintage, a 750 ml format and 14.5% alcohol.

🍒 The aromatic profile combines ripe red fruit and floral notes with sweet spice, cocoa and balsamic herbs. A deep ruby colour moves towards garnet. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and warming, with a rich texture and a long, savoury finish. These features make it a useful choice when a light red would feel overwhelmed by the meal.

🕰️ Published information for Le Morine describes fermentation in temperature-controlled steel, around three weeks of skin contact, then 24 months in barriques and at least 12 months in bottle. The time in wood and bottle forms an important part of its Riserva identity.

🍽️ Serve Monticino Rosso Le Morine Sangiovese Red Wine at 18–20°C in a roomy red-wine glass. Try it with roast beef, grilled meat, meat-sauce pasta or mature cheese. Pour a small first glass and allow the aromas to develop as dinner unfolds; a slow meal gives you time to notice how the fruit and spice change in the glass. For a gift, this bottle suits someone who already enjoys structured Italian reds. Keep it away from bright light and heat, and choose a cool, stable place for storage.
