The nose is fruit driven at the beginning: lots of cherry, black berries, saturated and dark fruit. Then spice, blue flowers, mint. The palate is succulent even if very rich, delivering Morello cherry, blood orange, star anise sensations. Tannins are tight but fine grained, the acidity tangy, and helps to keep the wine balanced and in tension. The finish is layered and outstretched.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTASTING NOTES:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Biondi Santi Rosso di Montalcino does everything the category should, over-delivering in terms of sophistication, depth, and simple pleasure.

It's initially soft in texture but quickly firms up through a core of tart red berry fruits that saturate. Chewy minerality adds complexity toward the close. The acidity is on point, nicely balancing the concentration of the vintage. That said, the tannins are a bit forbidding at this stage, so give the 2022 a few years in the cellar.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- Vinous, 93 pts.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOffers ample fruit in the form of cherry, strawberry and red currant notes accented by tar, iron and eucalyptus.
