Rosso di Montalcino DOC
Wine Enthusiast

“The nose is earthy and sanguine, with just-tilled soil aromas, coffee beans, cranberries and hibiscus. The palate turns juicier, adding strawberries and the slightly medicinal note of cherry syrup, contrasted by tightly wound tannins and a spicy finish. Sophisticated and elegant.”

"This flight of three Biondi-Santi wines starts off on the right foot thanks to the pristine bouquet and lively fruit of the 2019 Rosso di Montalcino. This is the entry-level wine (although the price point certainly suggests otherwise). It shows very detailed and chiseled aromas of wild cherry, cassis, dried violet, rust and orange skin. The wine carries a strong structural frame; however, the mouthfeel is ethereal and light notwithstanding."

“A refined Rosso, this evokes cherry, strawberry, floral and iron flavors aligned with a supple texture and firm structure. Harmonious and long, but needs some time to integrate.”

"This 2019 Rosso takes its time to open, the rigid, iron-like tannins and earthy scents slowly giving way to pure red-cherry flavors laced with licorice, menthol and a distinctly ferrous note. Cellar the wine for at least two years before cracking it open with prime rib."
