Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Biondi-Santi 1971

HED60534 75cl 12.5%
Biondi-Santi created Brunello, and it remains the most iconic name in this much-loved appellation. The Riserva is arguably among the world’s most sought-after wines and this 50-year-old, fully mature wine from 1971’s vintage is a precious add-value to any wine collection. Specially when the wine is still full of life and far from declining.

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.
