<br />ROSSO DI MONTALCINO DOC<br />2015<br /><br />This wine was originally known as 'Brunello Etichetta Bianca' and was renamed Rosso di Montalcino in 1983 when the DOC was established.<br />True to the style that characterises all Biondi-Santi wines, Rosso is distinguished by its fragrant and fruity soul, which makes it perfect to be enjoyed even at a young age.<br />THE 2015 VINTAGE<br />A majestic vintage where structure, elegance and freshness combine to create something special. 2015 was a warm, low rainfall year with high temperatures from May to<br />August, which allowed the vines to ripen very well, giving us perfect grapes for very classy wines. We started the harvest on 21 September.<br />THE ORIGIN<br />The 2015 Rosso di Montalcino was produced with the Sangiovese Grosso clone BBS11 (Brunello Biondi Santi 11), identified and selected by Biondi-Santi at Tenuta Greppo<br />in the 1970s. For this Rosso, grapes were used exclusively from the youngest vineyards, aged between 4 and 10 years.<br />AGING<br />The 2015 Rosso di Montalcino was aged 12 months in Slavonian oak barrels.<br />THE EMOTION<br />The 2015 vintage gave great satisfaction. Even in Rosso di Montalcino one can feel the makings of an outstanding vintage that stands out for its structure and very refined<br />and intensely fruity bouquet. Brilliant ruby red in colour, it offers a broad and intense bouquet with notes of violets and wisteria flowers, fresh cherries and light hints of cedar<br />that find depth in the spiciness of pink and white pepper and sweet notes of vanilla bean. In the mouth it is soft and well-structured, with a fruity core, very elegant and fine.<br />The potential of the vintage is evident in the really important tannic texture that finds balance with the fresh acidity, typical of Tenuta Greppo wines. The finish is long and<br />savoury. A ready-made wine, while maintaining a good capacity for bottle ageing.<br />ALCOHOL<br />13,5%<br />
