Biondi-Santi

A classy wine with restrained aromas of embers, incense, stony minerality, fresh violets, dried cherries, red currants, leaves and vibrant orange peel. Full-bodied and juicy on the palate, with firm acidity and tannins, a slightly chalky yet ripe texture and flavors of red cherries and graphite. Super-polished and cleansing finish. Outstanding tannins. Biondi-Santi is back! Drink or hold. It will last for decades.

Ruby red with some lightening on the rim. Intense nose, with notes of fresh plum, red currants, a fine fruit sweetness, hints of orange zest and figs, a touch of nougat. Complex, substantial, with silky tannins, salty on the finish, a lovely extracted sweetness, both delicate and fresh, a fantastic grippy minerality on the finish, lingering for minutes, red berries on the back palate, with an ageing potential to span many decades.
