Goedhuis Waddesdon, February 2026
This 2024 is exquisitely floral scented with fresh peonies, violets and rose. Sweet, bright red cherry and mouthwatering blood orange fruit are framed by a vibrant acidity and softly textured tannins. The finish is lifted and has a pleasing, salty mineral edge. This is as grown up a Rosso as they come and one that will give many a Brunello a run for its money.
Region
Montalcino
Located southwest of Chianti, Montalcino came into its own in the late 1880s when local producer,Biondi-Santi, discovered a Sangiovese clone in his vineyard that was darker in colour than the rest. Its colour, however, was not its only attribute. It produced a wine with notable body, structure and length. He named it ‘brunello' meaning little dark one. This grape's genetic properties along with Montalcino's relatively temperate climate combine to create a wine stylistically different to that of more northerly Chianti. They are usually released approximately 5 years after the vintage following 2 to 4 years ageing in wood. The denomination of Riserva indicates a wine usually produced with more concentrated grapes than the traditional cuvéeand requires a minimum of one additional year of ageing.Today, Montalcino has become one of the most sought after appellations in the Tuscan region.
