The Biondi-Santi 2020 Rosso di Montalcino DOC showcases remarkable elegance and structure, emblematic of the estate’s classic style. On the nose, it opens with vibrant red cherry, wild strawberry, and hints of dried rose petal, underpinned by earthy undertones and a subtle touch of spice. The palate is lively yet refined, with fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity framing flavors of tart red berries, orange zest, and a delicate minerality. Its finesse and precision make it a compelling young Rosso with aging potential, but also a joy to drink in its youth.
