Kasia Sobiesiak - The Wine Front
Maceone is one of the three new single-vineyard Sangiovese Grosso (BBS11) wines produced by Jacopo and Tancredi Biondi Santi from their Tuscan estate Castello di Montepò. Eastern exposure and altitude of 326 meters. IGT Toscana. Serious wine, no doubt. Lots of concentration and extract, stewed meat, sage and other bitter herbs, baked plum, mint, cumin, dark chocolate, toasted hazelnuts in husk and rum lift perfume in the back. There’s a haunting bitterness in this wine, that you love and hate at the same time, let’s call it noble bitterness. Fruit is supporting, in the background, structure comes first. Powerful stuff.
