Rosso di Montalcino Biondi-Santi 2021
The Biondi Santi Rosso di Montalcino 2021 is a younger, approachable expression from the legendary Biondi Santi estate, known for pioneering Brunello di Montalcino. While the Rosso is made from the same Sangiovese Grosso clone as their iconic Brunello, it is crafted for earlier enjoyment. The 2021 vintage offers vibrant aromas of red cherries, wild berries, and delicate floral notes, with hints of spices and earth. On the palate, it is fresh and lively, with fine tannins and balanced acidity, reflecting the elegance that Biondi Santi is renowned for. Though more accessible in its youth, this wine still retains the depth and complexity characteristic of the estate’s meticulous winemaking. As with all Biondi Santi wines, the Rosso di Montalcino showcases the unique terroir of Montalcino, making it a refined and versatile wine that can be enjoyed young while offering potential for further development in the bottle.
