The 2013 Torgiano Rosso Riserva Rubesco Vigna Monticchio is a darkly saturated and rich expression of Sangiovese that represents a selection of the estate's best fruit and vineyard plots. The wine delivers dark cherry, dried blackberry and plum, but there are evolved notes of spice and scorched earth as well. It all works out in the end, thanks in large part to the steady consistency and texture of the mouthfeel. Torgiano brings us a sunny, softly textured expression of Sangiovese in this production of 35,000 bottles.
