The Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2017 by Biondi Santi is one of the most iconic and prestigious wines of Tuscany, the result of a long tradition that dates back to the 19th century. Biondi Santi is considered the founder of Brunello, a wine that owes its global fame to its ability to fully express the unique characteristics of Sangiovese, the grape variety that dominates this denomination. The grapes are carefully selected from the vineyards of Montalcino, located on hilly terrain at an altitude between 300 and 500 meters above sea level. Winemaking follows traditional methods, with fermentation in stainless steel and a long aging in oak barrels, allowing the wine to develop a complex structure and unparalleled elegance. Despite 2017 being a challenging climatic year, Biondi Santi’s Brunello stands out for its finesse, thanks to the meticulous selection of grapes and the careful management of the winemaking process.

Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2017 - Biondi Santi: Tasting Notes

The Brunello di Montalcino 2017 presents a deep ruby red color with garnet reflections. The bouquet is rich and complex, with notes of ripe black fruits, such as blackberry and cherry, enhanced by hints of tobacco, leather, spices, and a slight touch of vanilla. On the palate, it is full and structured, with soft yet present tannins that give the wine great aging potential. The acidity is perfectly balanced, providing freshness and vitality. The finish is long and persistent, with a delicacy that reveals a light minerality typical of the Montalcino terroir. This Brunello pairs wonderfully with rich dishes such as roasted meats, game, and aged cheeses.
