For many, Biondi-Santi is the pinnacle of Brunello di Montalcino with wines known for their classic youthful austerity but considerable capacity to age. Here is the wonderful `97 vintage with a red cherried, floral profile with elegant spice and liquorice complexity.

Tradition and Innovation
One of Tuscany's most venerable estates, the Biondi Santi family have been producing wines from the Greppo vineyards since the 1800s. Part of the French group EPI since late 2016, the winery produces three wines - a Rosso di Montalcino, a straight Brunello di Montalcino and a Riserva - all using 100% Sangiovese.
The vineyard team manage just over thirty 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.
