Rosso di Montalcino is frequently called “Baby Brunello.” More often than not, it really isn’t, and not in a good way. With Banfi’s 2011, it really is. Bright cherry-like fruit underpinned by a fine minerality reminds you of Brunello. A firm structure adds character and backbone without imparting a detracting hardness. – Michael Apstein (9/2013)
