Biondi-Santi Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2012

Description

A brilliant ruby red colour, this wine has aromas of dark fruits and smokey cinnamon. While some tannic structure persists, the fruit flavours come to the fore, supported by notes of black pepper and spice. The finish is long and balanced. This wine is already showing great potential for future development.

Biondi-Santi

The Biondi Santi family have been producing wines from the Greppo vineyards located south-east of Montalcino, in Tuscany, Italy since the 1800s. Clemente Santi, nephew of Giorgio Santi, was the first to create red wines suitable for ageing, and his oenological techniques were far more advanced than his peers. Clemente’s knowledge was passed on to his nephew Ferruccio Biondi Santi, who in 1932 was described as ‘the inventor of Brunello’. The estate has been passed down through the family, and is currently managed by Franco Biondi Santi, along with the help of his two children.

Tuscany

Tuscany, one of Italy's most renowned wine regions, is celebrated for its exceptional and diverse wines. Known for its picturesque landscapes and ideal climate, it benefits from a range of terroirs, from rolling hills to coastal areas. The area is particularly famous for its red wines, notably Chianti, made primarily from Sangiovese grapes, which offer bright acidity, cherry flavours, and earthy undertones. It also produces prestigious wines such as Brunello di Montalcino, a full-bodied red with complex flavours and excellent ageing potential, and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. For whites, Vernaccia di San Gimignano is noted for its crisp, refreshing character. Tuscany blends traditional winemaking with innovative techniques, offering a rich and varied wine experience.
