Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona Rosso di Montalcino 2024

A recent trade masterclass exposed Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona to me for the first time. The 2024 Rosso is a complete joy to drink: a great nose leads you to a palate showing warm red earth, delicate edges, some soy and orange zest and a general sense of elegance and lightness. It's a great drink and while full of flavour, it chooses to show of class rather than power. - Ches Cook, Five Way Cellars.
