2021 Castello di Montepo - Toscana Rosso IGT Sassoalloro Oro (750ml)

Oro is the special, limited edition tier of Sassoalloro, released only in certain years from a single parcel called Aia di Clemente, a well-exposed, east and southeast-facing slope of galestro soil. Made entirely from Sangiovese Grosso BBS11, the exclusive clone belonging to the Biondi Santi family (the same lineage behind Brunello di Montalcino), from the estate Jacopo Biondi Santi founded in the Maremma's Scansano district in the 1990s. Rich and lushly textured, with raspberry, cherry, and plum fruit laced with violet, baking spice, and tobacco, carried by chewy, dense tannins. A genuinely special-occasion bottling from a producer with real Brunello pedigree behind it.
