WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
From a terrific vintage with perfect weather conditions throughout the year, the wine is smooth and harmonious, it opens up with enticing scents of classic cherry, wild berry, purple flower, dark spice, aromas of chopped bay leaves and juniper. The palate is brimming with class and extreme elegance, with sensations of Morello cherry and orange zest. The bright acidity provides superb balance and intensity, tannins are velvety and enveloping giving energetic zip to the finish. A Fantastic wine that brings a smile to your eyes and will offer years of pleasure.
TASTING NOTES:
Surely one of the wines of the vintage, Biondi-Santi 2019 is balletic and dynamic, opening with a waft of balsamic herbs suffused with tobacco, black tea and blood orange. Bright, confident acidity underlines stony mid-palate sapidity and shy glimpses of gorgeous black cherry and blood orange. Vertically built with very fine, cashmere tannins, the balance and energy is nothing short of majestic. An interesting fact as stated by winemaker Federico Radi: in its long history, Biondi-Santi has only made wines over 14% abv four times.
