Sant'Antimo Rosso
The name originates from one of the symbolic monuments of Montalcino, the Romanesque abbey of Sant'Antimo. Built in the twelfth century at the foot of the hill of Castelnuovo dell'Abate, still today, solitary in the valley surrounded by vineyards, olive groves, and cypresses, it retains the mysticism of yesteryear.
The DOC was wanted by the producers to promote all these quality wines that do not belong to the existing appellations, but which have recently been very successful with consumers.
