2022 Rosso di Montalcino, La Magia, Tuscany, Italy

Description

The fruit here is selected from La Màgia’s ‘young vines’, which are still 15-20 years old. Fermentation temperatures sit below 26 degrees and maceration is kept short, to protect the racy primary character of the wine. The Rosso sees nine months in oak, predominantly older 500l tonneaux with some botti and 10% maturing in amphora. It is generous and open, whilst still holding on to a little mystery. There are layers of fresh cherry, cranberry and bright red berries, with a gentle, earthy complexity and lavender top notes. Fabian loves the 2022 vintage, and thinks it is as good as the 2019. There is such a special energy to La Màgia’s early drinking style.

La Màgia

The Schwarz family have owned La Màgia since the mid-1970s. Originally from Alto Adige, they were among the first Brunello producers to estate-bottle their wines. This organic estate is farmed by second-generation Fabian; born in Montalcino, he succeeded his father in 2005. He has since redefined the estate’s direction, continuing to realise the potential of this hallowed site. The farm sits high above the Abbey of Sant’Animo – a UNESCO World Heritage Site – and faces south-east towards Mount Amiata. The exposure to the cold mountain winds, morning sun exposition and altitude of 400-450 metres provide a cooler microclimate, adding to the freshness, tension and energy in the wines – even in a warm vintage like ’17.
