2014 Biondi-Santi Rosso di Montalcino

Description

The 2014 vintage is a very special "insider" bottle for Biondi-Santi fans. It was a notoriously difficult, cool, and rainy year in Tuscany. Because the quality did not meet the estate’s incredibly strict standards for their flagship Brunello or Riserva, they made the rare decision to declassify all of their grapes into this Rosso di Montalcino.

Highlights

• Vintage: 2014 (A rare "declassified" vintage)

• Region/Appellation: Rosso di Montalcino DOC, Tuscany, Italy

• Producer: Biondi-Santi (Tenuta Greppo)

• Grape: 100% Sangiovese Grosso (BBS11 proprietary clone)

• Style: Bright, elegant, and medium-bodied; characterized by high acidity, refined tannins, and "crunchy" red fruit.

• Perfect for: Discerning collectors who appreciate value-to-quality outliers. It is a classic pairing for traditional Italian pasta with meat ragù, roasted chicken with herbs, or aged Pecorino cheese.
