2022 Biondi-Santi Rosso di Montalcino

94 Points - James Suckling
A super-restrained wine showing complex aromas of rhubarb, strawberries, violets, raspberries and blood oranges. The attack is quite ripe, with dense, velvety tannins soaked in fruit, a medium body and refreshing lifted acidity. The finish is long and savory. Drink or hold.

Biondi-Santi:
From an exceptional year in terms of drought and heat waves, a Rosso with a very round, intense, leafy and dried character. The nose is fruit driven at the beginning: lots of cherry, black berries, saturated and dark fruit. Then spice, blue flowers, mint. The palate is succulent even if very rich, delivering Morello cherry, blood orange, star anise sensations. Tannins are tight but fine-grained, the acidity tangy, and helps to keep the wine balanced and in tension. The finish is layered and outstretched.
