Dei · Rosso di Montepulciano · Tuscany 2024
The Dei family made its first wines from its estate in the heart of the historic Montepulciano appellation in 1985. Since 1991, Caterina Dei has led the estate, known for perfumed, fruit-driven wines that express the local Prugnolo clone of Sangiovese. The vineyards span 60 hectares on the slopes below Montepulciano, across the crus of Martiena, Bossona, La Piaggia, La Ciarliana, and Cervognano.
Expert Review · 2024
Vinous · 90 Points | The 2024 Rosso di Montepulciano is deeply satisfying with a burst of crushed raspberries and cherries, autumnal spice and dried roses. Ripe red and blue fruits flow across silken textures. A hint of wild blueberry lingers on the medium-length, gently tannic finish.
Winemaker Description
Fresh and aromatic with aromas and flavors of ripe red cherry, plum, and spice. The palate is medium-bodied with round tannins and a long finish.
Earlier Vintage Review · 2022
Vinous · 91 Points (2022) | The 2022 Rosso di Montepulciano is rosy and floral with a licorice tinge that complements its crushed raspberry fruits. Round and balanced with a pleasant inner sweetness and crisp red berry fruits, this washes easily across the palate, leaving a gentle tug of fine tannin in its wake. Hard candy and sweet sage notes stick around as the 2022 tapers off with fantastic length and youthful poise. Nicely done. Caterina Dei explained that Cantine Dei can’t produce enough of their Rosso to meet demand, and it’s easy to see why.

"Mid crimson. Fragrant and slightly spicy dark fruit. A really good bite of acidity, the tannins thick but smooth. Tannins need more time."
