Ep 63: Rosso di Montalcino - Find out why the category is a game-changer for sommeliers!

We welcome Sarah Heller, Master of Wine, to The Premier Cru!

On a recent trip to Montalcino, we got the opportunity to try Rosso di Montalcino from over 60 producers. To place the wines into context, Sarah treated a small group of us to a masterclass introducing the category and the different styles of wines produced.

What stood out, is how useful the wines are. They are approachable young and adaptable to be paired with lots of different types of food, making them the perfect "swiss army knife" for sommeliers.

We wanted to share the insights of the masterclass with you and the focus for this episode is an introduction to Rosso di Montalcino as a category. We sandwich that conversation between an introduction to Sangiovese as a grape variety and insights into what it takes to become a Master of Wine.

Let us know in the comments if you have any questions or requests for upcoming guests/topics of discussion.

If you have not already, then please also follow us on Spotify/Apple and on Instagram (⁠@The_Premier_Cru⁠) as it makes a massive difference to the channel!
