Rudi consistently makes traditional and correct Rosso di Montalcino, entirely from Sangiovese, aged in barrique for twelve months. It is fined with egg whites and bottled without filtration.

Typically this is a wine that mirrors the vintage with honesty and confidence, for example in 2002 when many Rosso di Montalcino tasted more like right bank Bordeaux this wine was spot on, charming, light and fresh.
