A landmark wine in the landscape of Italian enology, the 2009 Sassoalloro is a pure expression of the special Sangiovese Grosso clone BBS11 that the Biondi Santi family has safeguarded in the Tuscan territories of Montalcino and Scansano respectively. The 2009 vintage still needs time to flesh out and find its footing. Red rose, dried blackberry, moist clay and button mushroom all make subtle appearances on the feminine bouquet. Firm structure is present to carry this wine forward over the years. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2022.-ML
Wine Spectator 89 Points
Offers enticing aromas of maraschino cherry, leather, spice and cocoa powder. On the palate, this is beefy, with cocoa and camphor notes cruising through the firm finish.
