Riccardo Campinoti farms at the highest point in the Montalcino appellation — an elevation so windy it historically extinguished the lanterns of travelers passing through. That altitude is the whole point. Cooler temperatures, longer hang time, and Sangiovese that leans toward finesse rather than muscle.
The Troncone lands closer to a serious Rosso than anything trying to be Brunello in miniature: translucent, fresh, red-fruited, with that lifted Montalcino character and enough structure to make it interesting. Cherry, dried roses, a little earth, a clean finish. It drinks easily without being simple.
Good with roast chicken, mushroom dishes, lighter pasta, a cheese plate. The kind of bottle you open on a weeknight without needing a reason.
