2020 Castello di Montepò by Jacopo Biondi Santi BBS11 Poggio Ferro Toscana

To be published March 2025: A dazzling interplay of Bing cherry, pomegranate, and blood orange lifts from the glass, layered with white pepper, shaved black truffle, and a whisper of wild herbs. The medium-bodied palate commands attention—powerful yet poised, with ultra-fine tannins that grip and release in waves. Depth and intensity unfold on the midpalate, where crushed cocoa nibs, dried rose petals, and a touch of saffron weave into the wine’s brooding fruit core. A spine of vibrant acidity keeps it fresh, carrying through to a long, structured finish. Statuesque, radiant, and built to age, this is a cellar-worthy stunner. 100% Sangiovese Grosso BBS11.
