The flagship wine of Castello di Montepò and one of Jacopo Biondi Santi’s most celebrated creations, Sassoalloro is a pure expression of Sangiovese Grosso BBS11, the exclusive clone preserved by the Biondi Santi family. Fresh, supple, and vibrantly dynamic, it combines the elegance of tradition with a contemporary spirit, offering juicy red fruit, silky tannins, and a long, harmonious finish. Its name recalls one of the region’s most striking natural landmarks – a massive glacial boulder steeped in local legend – symbolizing both strength and timelessness.
Grape variety: Sangiovese
Vinification: refinement 14 months in untoasted wood barriques in the forests of Troncais.
Tasting notes: The Sassoalloro is a distinctive red wine blend with a firm mineral vein that runs straight through. Dusty tones of crushed granite and pencil shavings emerge immediately from the bouquet. Once they lift, they reveal subtle fruit tones that recall wild raspberry and red currant. Added notes of spice and tobacco round off the finish. The finish is medium and the wine should evolve over the next five years.
Food pairing: meat, poultry, smoked meat products
Alcohol content: 13.5% vol.
Serving temperature: 16-18°C
