BIONDI-SANTI
Rosso di Montalcino 2021
- 94 points -
The 2021 Rosso Di Montalcino was bottled in 2023 and is going to be released in May or June of 2025. Taking on a bit more pigment in this vintage and pouring a ruby/red color, it opens to aromas of darker berries, ripe black cherries, crushed herbs, violets, and rocky earth. The palate has good extract, concentration, and sapidity, with very nice elegance, ripe tannins, and a mouthwatering, crunchy finish. This structured Rosso will age well over the coming 12-15 years.
