Biondi Santi\u2019s Rosso di Montalcino is far from a mere \u201csecond wine\u201d; it is a true expression of the elegance and finesse that have made the Greppo estate legendary. Made from the same Sangiovese Grosso grapes (the historic BBS11 clone selected by the family) used for their Brunello, it comes from younger vines\u2014typically between 5 and 10 years old\u2014planted in the rolling hills surrounding the estate at elevations between 300 and 500 meters.<\/p>\n
Vinification follows a strict, traditional method: spontaneous fermentation in glazed cement vats and aging in large Slavonian oak casks for about 12 months. No barriques, no trend-driven winemaking\u2014only time and patience, resulting in a wine that perfectly balances structure and drinkability.<\/p>\n
The Rosso stands out for its austere, vertical style, with restrained and precise fruit. On the nose, notes of ripe cherry, dried flowers, forest floor and subtle spices emerge. The palate is vibrant and fresh, with silky tannins and a savory, lingering finish. While it is certainly age-worthy, it is also surprisingly enjoyable in its early years.<\/p>\n
More than a \u201clesser\u201d Rosso, this is a refined introduction to Biondi Santi\u2019s philosophy: precision, territorial identity, and longevity.<\/p>\n
