2021 Val di Suga Rosso di Montalcino Vigna Spuntali

Dark depths of wilted violets, cedar, cloves, worn leather and dried strawberries form a seductive old-world bouquet as the 2021 Rosso di Montalcino Vigna Spuntali blossoms in the glass. This sweeps across the palate with a mineral-laden blend of orange and tart red berries as edgy tannins slowly mount toward the close. It finishes structured, full of tension and long with a staining of bitter blackberry that adds a crunchy sensation. The 2021 will require patience to show its best.
