Biondi-Santi is known for its exceptional Brunello di Montalcino wines, and their Rosso di Montalcino offers a more approachable and earlier-drinking alternative to the more robust and long-lived Brunello wines. The 2019 vintage is showing notes of red fruits such as cherries and raspberries, along with floral and earthy undertones. It has a medium body, bright acidity, and soft tannins, making it enjoyable to drink now but also offering some potential for short-to-medium-term aging.
