This Quarter's Red Selection
$39.99 Value
The 2021 Rosso is the result of a near-perfect growing season. Our vines have matured, and our viticulture is world-class. The resulting fruit is ripe with intense fruit flavors encapsulated by perfect acidity and subtle herbs that dance across the palate. This is a serious wine with the potential to age for 15+ years. Yet it opens quickly and offers a lengthy, silky dose of that “yes, this is what I want in a red wine”. We are proud of Claudia, our winemaker, and the team at Due Santi.
We dedicate this vintage to our leader in Rome, the giant one, Dr Peter Hatlie. For without his tireless pushing, this dream would never have been realized—cheers to Peter and to all of us who love Due Santi.
This bottle will ultimately win the day against anything from the prior decade. The 2020 is more opulent now, but if you decant the 2021 for a couple of hours, wow, the magic happens!

There are many layers of fruit and spice on this delicious red wine. Our vines have another year of maturity and have really benefited from the long, perfect growing season. This bottling blew away our neighbors 300 meters away. SO much so that they plan to buy some of our fruit for their very famous top wine in 2022. This is a complex and rich wine with a lot of backbone to balance out the deep plum, cedar, and hint of vanilla. While our Rosso pairs exceptionally well with pizza, it really shines when served with grilled red meat. The Due Santi is lovely now, ready to go, and fun.
Tasting notes: Now drinking at a stage we like to refer to as “the zone,” where the richness, tannins, and overall balance of the wine are apparent. We love the 2020 with steaks and roasted chicken equally. The hint of forest that we love on release has now evolved into a sapid and smooth wine that hints at a growth Bordeaux but with some Italian flair.
