This is an epic vintage that has been expertly interpreted by the Biondi-Santi winemaking team. The 2021 Rosso di Montalcino has impressive complexity and finesse the result of many complicated blending decisions. The wine remains on the shy side at the moment and will need a few more years of bottle age before its full bouquet comes into focus. The wine is essentially linear and sharp with firm structure seething energy and bright red fruit. The vintage was warm dry and luminous. The Sangiovese harvest started on the 9th of September. Biondi-Santi's release schedule is one year behind the norm. They release the Rosso di Montalcino and the Brunello di Montalcino in March six years after the harvest. The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino is on the market now and we will see the 2019 vintage next spring. Published: Nov 21 2024

The 2021 Rosso Di Montalcino was bottled in 2023 and is going to be released in May or June of 2025. Taking on a bit more pigment in this vintage and pouring a ruby/red color it opens to aromas of darker berries ripe black cherries crushed herbs violets and rocky earth. The palate has good extract concentration and sapidity with very nice elegance ripe tannins and a mouthwatering crunchy finish. This structured Rosso will age well over the coming 12-15 years.

This 2021 Rosso di Montalcino is not a "baby Brunello;" this is a serious wine in its own right. Textured with silty compact tannins it has a beautiful taut ripeness. The tense acidity lifts the crunchy red fruits and the wine has a shimmery finish of hibiscus tea and fragrant soil. It's hard to resist. It is decided in the cellar at Biondi-Santi which wines are destined to become part of the Rosso then the remaining wines will age for an additional year before deciding which lots are to become Normale and which are to become Riserva.
