The charming Rosso di Montalcino is made from the famous Sangiovese "grosso" grape, a key player in Tuscan red wines. Crafted by Lambardi since 1965, it's a perfect blend of tradition and innovation.

Rosso di Montalcino is a wine with a unique character, aged for 6 months in new Slavonian oak barrels, creating a balanced taste. After this oak aging, the wine gets further refined in the bottle for at least 4 months, enriching its depth and flavor. With a deep ruby red color, its aroma blends fruity notes with a hint of wood. The taste is smooth yet robust, leaving a lasting impression of ripe and fresh fruit.

Lambardi

Nestled in the stunning region of Montalcino, Tuscany, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2004, the Lambardi family embarked on their winemaking journey in 1965. Captivated by the area’s beauty, they acquired property here, and by 1973, they began crafting their first wines, producing around 500 bottles.

Lambardi’s approach is deeply rooted in tradition, focusing on the production of genuine, territorial wines. Their portfolio centers on Montalcino's classic appellations, including Rosso di Montalcino DOC and Brunello di Montalcino DOCG.

The family’s winemaking respects the essence of Sangiovese—Montalcino’s signature grape—using traditional methods such as extended macerations and aging in large Slavonian barrels. Their 6.5 hectares of vineyards, located in the Canalicchio di Sotto area in Northern Montalcino, benefit from the region's unique terroir, producing wines that truly reflect the land's history and character.

Lambardi wines are a true expression of Montalcino’s heritage, showcasing a commitment to quality, authenticity, and nature.

Terroir

Montalcino

The terroir of Montalcino, particularly near this area, is defined by its diverse soils, high elevation, and Mediterranean climate, all of which contribute to the power and elegance of Sangiovese Grosso. The vineyards here benefit from altitudes ranging between 250 and 500 meters, creating a cooler growing environment that allows for long, slow ripening, preserving acidity and enhancing the aromatic complexity of the wines.

The soils in this part of Montalcino are a mix of Galestro (schistous marl), clay, and limestone, with sections of alberese (compact limestone), providing excellent drainage and adding structure to the wines. The microclimate is influenced by warm, sunny days and cool nights, as well as breezes coming from both the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Apennines, ensuring a perfect balance between ripeness and freshness.

This unique terroir produces Brunello di Montalcino wines that are deep, structured, and long-lived, with intense red fruit, floral notes, earthy complexity, and firm yet refined tannins. The balance of altitude, soil composition, and climate in this area results in wines that are both powerful and graceful, embodying the best of Montalcino’s winemaking tradition.

Region

Toscana

Tuscany’s terroir is defined by its rolling hills, ancient soils, and a Mediterranean climate that varies across the region's diverse landscapes. The soils are rich in limestone, clay, and schist, particularly in the Chianti Classico and Montalcino areas, offering excellent drainage and contributing to the wines' structure and mineral complexity. The climate, characterized by warm summers and cool nights, allows for balanced ripening, preserving both acidity and aromatic intensity in the grapes. The region benefits from significant diurnal temperature variation, particularly in the higher elevations, which helps retain freshness in the wines. This terroir is particularly suited for Sangiovese, the backbone of many Tuscan wines, but also supports a wide variety of other grape varieties, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah. The wines from Tuscany are known for their elegance, complexity, and age-worthiness, showcasing a balance between ripe fruit, structure, and the unique mineral character of the region.
