Brunello di Montalcino Biondi-Santi 2006

HED34330 75cl 13.5%
Here is a beautiful 2006 Riserva from Biondi-Santi, often considered the pinnacle of Brunello di Montalcino with wines known for their classic youthful austerity but considerable capacity to age. Aged in Slavonian oak barrels for 3 years. Bright ruby red in colour, this Riserva cleverly combines its impressive structure, characteristic of the 2006 vintage, and the lively acidity typical of Biondi-Santi, in a wine with great finesse and depth. The fruity notes are still fresh and well developed, underlined by balsamic hints and light floral sensations. Well-balanced on the palate, soft and enveloping, leading to a lingering, elegant, mineral aftertaste.

Biondi-Santi

One of Tuscany's most venerable estates, the Biondi Santi family have been producing wines from the Greppo vineyards since the 1800s. Still family owned and now managed by Franco Biondi Santi and his children, the winery produces three wines - a straight Brunello di Montalcino, a Riserva and Sassoalloro, IGT Toscana - both using 100% Sangiovese.

The vineyard team manage around twenty five hectares of vines and the focus is very much on traditional techniques and preserving the fresh character of the fruit. This means early harvests, long macerations and mostly stainless steel or inactive oak for ageing although the Riserva sees some more active oak initially before being racked into larger casks.
