Our take
What we make of this bottle
Montalcino is a single Tuscan town that lends its name to two different wines. Both Brunello di Montalcino and Rosso di Montalcino are protected Tuscan designations built on Sangiovese, sharing the historic town boundary but following separate production rules. This bottle is the Rosso.
Val di Suga says it is part of Angelini Wines and Estates and makes its wine right there in Montalcino, concentrating on the town's two Sangiovese reds. The place itself has a dry Mediterranean climate pulled toward continental by its spot between the sea and the central Apennines, with elevation and slope carving out many small pockets of their own weather.
As for the grape, Sangiovese is a red closely associated with central Italy. An official category guide points to cherry-led fruit, herbs, clear acidity and firm tannin, and notes that yield, blending, oak and climate can carry it anywhere from light and direct to something more concentrated.
We do not have a shopper rating for this wine. Our September 2026 checks put its price from $30.99 to $42.99.

Research status
What we are still checking
Our overview above draws on the dated store feed, shopper ratings, our region and grape research, and any sourced producer facts. We are still working to confirm the current release, the full producer record, and the bottle itself, and we update this page as we learn more.
Getting to know Montalcino.
Montalcino gives a close geographic context for both Brunello and Rosso, while the complete designation tells us which rules apply. It should not be collapsed into broad Tuscany or Italy mapping.
What the name means
Brunello di Montalcino DOCG and Rosso di Montalcino DOC are separate protected Tuscan designations. Both use Sangiovese and share the historic boundary of the municipality, but their production rules differ.
How grapes grow here
Montalcino has a generally dry Mediterranean climate with continental influence from its position between the sea and the central Apennines. Elevation and slope direction create many local microclimates.
What lies under the vines
Lower areas have deeper transported soils. Higher slopes become stonier and shallower, with decomposed galestro and alberese among the important rock materials.
How large the region is
- Municipal territory
- The production territory covers about 24,000 hectares within Montalcino's historic boundary.
- Vineyard share
- The consortium reports that vineyards occupy about 15 percent of that territory.
Places within the region
- Brunello di Montalcino
- The DOCG is limited to the historic municipal boundary and requires Sangiovese, called Brunello locally.
- Rosso di Montalcino
- The DOC uses the same municipal origin and grape but has separate yield and release rules.
Getting to know Sangiovese.
Sangiovese is a red grape closely associated with central Italy and is the main grape in Chianti wines. It is also grown elsewhere as a varietal wine or blending grape.
