The demand for the wines of Andrea Cortonesi has gone through the roof in recent years.

A string of great reviews and limited production across both the Rosso and his exemplary Brunello has seen his wine sell out in short order.

He sources only a small amount of fruit from a vineyard owned by a good friend in northern Montalcino. He makes his wines in a traditional fashion, with firm but moreish tannin as a feature.

The Rosso is 100% Sangiovese from younger vines off the property. It carries ample fruit but finishes dry and savoury - it's classic Tuscan Sangiovese for a steal.
