Brunello or Rosso di Montalcino | Which Is Better For You?

Brunello or Rosso di Montalcino, Which is better for you? Well, it is going to depend on what you like in a wine. They are both made up of 100% Sangiovese grapes but there are different production requirements.
If you like lively, fruity wines on the lighter side, than you will want to head right over to a Rosso di Montalcino. The aging requirements are two years overall with only 6 months required in oak. The result is wines that are friendly, fruity and delicious. They are also one of the wine world's best kept secrets.
If you like a big wine with some grip, tannins and dark fruits, then grab a Brunello. Brunellos are a great alternative to just drinking the same old Cabernet Sauvignon. The aging requirements for a Brunello wine is 5 years with a minimum of two years in oak so you know where the extra oomph comes from.

Enjoy!!!
