Description
Biondi Santi is a renowned Italian winery located in the heart of the Montalcino region of Tuscany. Founded in 1827, the winery is credited with creating the first Brunello di Montalcino, a full-bodied red wine made from 100% Sangiovese grapes. The Biondi Santi family has been producing Brunello di Montalcino for over a century, and their wines are renowned for their complexity and elegance.
Brunello di Montalcino is a DOCG wine, meaning it is produced according to strict regulations. The grapes are hand-harvested and fermented in stainless steel tanks before being aged in oak barrels for a minimum of two years. The wine is then aged in the bottle for at least four months before being released. The result is a deep ruby-red wine with aromas of ripe red fruits, spices, and leather. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and well-structured, with flavors of blackberry, cherry, and tobacco. The finish is long and lingering, with hints of vanilla and spice.
Biondi Santi's Brunello di Montalcino is a classic example of the style, and is a must-try for any fan of Italian wines. With its complex aromas and flavors, and its long, lingering finish, it's no wonder why this wine has been a favorite for centuries.
