These are wines with depth, structure, earthiness, red fruit, savory notes, and the kind of warmth that feels just right as fall settles in. We\u2019ll begin with several Brunello di Montalcino wines, exploring how vintage, vineyard site, oak aging, and producer style shape these age-worthy reds.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll also taste a selection of Rosso di Montalcino, often thought of as Brunello\u2019s younger, more approachable companion. The Rosso wines will give us a chance to compare freshness, fruit, tannin, and winemaking choices while still staying firmly rooted in the character of Montalcino.<\/p>\n<p>The lineup includes wines from a range of producers, vintages, and price points, from small estates to well-known names. It should be a rich, interesting, and very seasonally appropriate evening for anyone who enjoys Italian wine, Sangiovese, or simply wants to better understand why Montalcino has such a devoted following.<\/p>\n<div id=\"left-area\">\n<article id=\"post-1253\" class=\"et_pb_post post-1253 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-aws-event category-education category-valley-vine category-wine-event\">\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><strong>Brunello &amp; Rosso di Montalcino<br \/>\n<\/strong><strong data-end=\"1185\" data-start=\"1176\">Date:<\/strong> Saturday, October 10, 7:00 pm<br data-end=\"1231\" data-start=\"1228\" \/><strong data-end=\"1247\" data-start=\"1234\">Hosted by:<\/strong> Michael and Clara Maddox, 3522 Par St, N., Fargo, 58102<\/p>\n<p>$25 members, $35 guests*<\/p>\n<p>*non-member guests may attend up to three wine tasting events.
