Biondi Santi Vini - 2021 Rosso di Montalcino

This wine was originally known as the Biondi-Santi “White Label Brunello”, but changed 
its name in 1983, when the Rosso di Montalcino DOC was established. It reflects the signature style of our high-altitude vineyards with a vibrant freshness and a distinct fruitiness which makes it thoroughly enjoyable at a young age. Vintage 2021 has been characterized by an autumn and a winter with mild temperatures and generous rainfalls, while spring brought an episode of frost on April 6th. From April to mid-August, rainfall decreased drastically, leading to drought conditions. Summer was characterized by scorching temperatures and high humidity, however later in August, thanks to temperature ranges and beneficial rainfall, we had the perfect conditions for grape to complete their ripening before being picked. Harvest started on September 9th. The 2021 Rosso was produced with an accurate selection grapes from our proprietary vineyards and was aged in Slavonian oak barrels for 12 months. It is a bright wine with good acidity, extremely pleasant to drink from the moment it is released, which is then one of the characteristics that Rosso di Montalcino must have. It has tension, energy, vitality, a wine that corresponds well to the Red project, suitable for a graceful and cheerful moment. It offers sensations of floral aromas, sour cherry and crushed mint. Velvety tannins envelop the palate while fresh acidity keeps it lifted, for a crunchy finish. - Biondi Santi Vini, Winemaker.
