Castello di Montepò by Jacopo Biondi Santi BBS11 Maceone Toscana 2020

“To be published March 2025: Jacopo Biondi-Santi Castello di Montepò 2020 Maceone Sangiovese, Tuscany, Italy, 2020 Vibrant, spicy, and tightly wound, this 100% Sangiovese Grosso BBS11 is both brooding and complex, offering layers of Bing cherry, black raspberry, and sappy cedarwood, dusted with ground espresso, toffee, and savoury charcuterie. On the palate, its super-dense structure is defined by granulated, chewy tannins, firm and even chocolatey, giving way to a medley of dried sage, cardamom, tart cranberry, tangerine peel, truffle, and liquorice. Bursting with energy, this wine has the tension and depth for long-term cellaring.”
