WINEMAKER’S NOTES:
Biondi Santi’s Toscana Rosso Sassoalloro was born in Tuscany and is created by Jacopo Biondi Santi. It represents the bridge between the past and the future of the family wine production, maintaining a great passion for Sangiovese, but giving life to a new interpretation of this grape variety. It is produced with 100% Sangiovese Grosso grapes, harvested at the end of September. After vinification, the wine rests in barriques of non-toasted woods of the Tronçais forests for 14 months. It is a wine with a brilliant ruby red color, with shades tending to violet. The nose opens with fresh and fruity scents, enriched with pleasant notes of violet. In the mouth it is soft and velvety, with an extremely long finish. Overall it is a very elegant wine, with an excellent longevity potential: from 15 to 20 years. Due to its characteristics, this wine is ideal in combination with red meats, in particular grilled or grilled, and important roasts.
TASTING NOTES:
A little jammy on the nose with dried strawberries and flowers. Full-bodied with bright acidity and a long, flavorful and juicy finish. Lightly chewy. Sangiovese. Drink now.
