On the nose, the gentle tang of black cherries, figs and pomegranates is balanced by savory potting soil and herbs. The palate opens as a riot of berries joined by dark chocolate and salt, but the earth tones and herbs become more pronounced with time, as cool, damp soil, wild fennel and violets gradually make themselves known. A cohesive wine. 

About the Wine

The Toscana Rosso 'Sassoalloro' by Tenuta Castello di Montepò, owned by Jacopo Biondi Santi, is a red wine of great charm that tells the entire vision of the winery since its first harvest. A Sangiovese that has been selected from the historic family estate where the famous Brunello di Montalcino is produced, and which has been planted in this wonderful corner of Tuscany, not far from Scansano.

Vinified in steel, it matures for just over a year in barrique before an additional aging in the bottle. Deep fruity and spicy aromas, with notes of cherry and raspberry, followed by balsamic and herbal notes. Soft and elegant, fresh with well-integrated tannins in a solid structure. An elegant red wine with a definite territorial adherence, suitable for any occasion.
