Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Wine from Biondi Santi

Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Biondi Santi is a wine that symbolizes a territory, a region, and perhaps an entire country. Produced at Il Greppo, it continues, year after year, harvest after harvest, to represent an icon of winemaking tradition and stylistic perfection. Made from vineyards on the historic family estate that are between 15 and 30 years old, this Brunello di Montalcino ages for 36 months exclusively in large Slavonian oak barrels. A red wine of immense finesse and balance, its most important characteristic perhaps being its incredible longevity: from 20 to 40 years. Already immense today, it is a red wine to be uncorked and poured a few hours before drinking, as Franco Biondi Santi has always recommended.

TASTING NOTES Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2011 Biondi Santi

Biondi Santi's Brunello di Montalcino DOCG wine is ruby red in color with light garnet highlights. The nose reveals an olfactory profile of great finesse. Notes of violet, blackcurrant, sour cherry, and dried rose blend with balsamic and vegetal notes. Aromas of tobacco and oriental spices then open to a long and textured palate, extraordinarily fresh and vibrant, supported by precise tannins and a light acidity. A great finish of infinite persistence.
