WINE ADVOCATE 95+ POINTS - "This is an epic vintage that has been expertly interpreted by the Biondi-Santi winemaking team. The 2021 Rosso di Montalcino has impressive complexity and finesse, the result of many complicated blending decisions. The wine remains on the shy side at the moment and will need a few more years of bottle age before its full bouquet comes into focus. The wine is essentially linear and sharp with firm structure, seething energy and bright red fruit. The vintage was warm, dry and luminous. The Sangiovese harvest started on the 9th of September."
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.
