Colle Massari Rigoleto 2021

70% Sangiovese, 15% Ciliegiolo and 15% Montepulciano from vineyards at 300 metres on soils of sandstone, tufaceous clay and calcareous marl.  Vinified in open stainless steel vats and manually stirred for 20-25 days before being transferred to a mix of half stainless steel and half old tonneaux for 10 months maturation.  Intense nose of cherry (Ciliegiolo) and blackberry fruit (Montepulciano) lifted by a pronounced spiciness (Sangiovese).  Medium bodied, but round and smooth and a delight to drink.
