Biondi Santi, Sangiovese, Rosso di Montalcino, Tuscany, Italy 2015

Biondi Santi Rosso di Montalcino bears the characteristics of an exceptional vintage,
displaying an impressive structure and an refined, intensely fruity bouquet. A wine
ready to drink now, while maintaining a notable ageability in the bottle. The vines are 10 years of age and come from 100% estate vineyards.

2015 was a hot and dry year with constant warm temperatures from May through August, which permitted the grapes to ripen perfectly. Harvest began on September 21st.

The wine is bright ruby red. There is an ample and intense bouquet with aromas of violets and wisteria flower, fresh cherries and delicate hints of citron which are intertwined with spicy notes of pink and white pepper corns and a subtle, sweet scent of vanilla pod. Elegant and distinguished, this Rosso di Montalcino has a smooth and medium bodied flavor with a fruity core. This exceptional vintage reveals an impressive tannic structure and a well-balanced fragrant acidity which is typical for the terroir at Tenuta Greppo. The finish is long and savory.
