Biondi Santi 2015 Brunello di Montalcino

The Biondi Santi 2015 Brunello di Montalcino, particularly the Riserva, is a highly acclaimed Italian red wine, a testament to the legacy of the Biondi Santi family who are credited with "inventing" Brunello di Montalcino in 1888. Made exclusively from the Sangiovese Grosso grape (specifically the proprietary BBS11 clone), these wines are renowned for their incredible longevity, elegance, and pure expression of Montalcino's unique terroir.

The 2015 vintage, generally considered excellent, showcases the wine's characteristic aromas of red fruit, spice, and earthy undertones, evolving into complex notes of licorice, forest floor, and even balsamic as it ages. On the palate, it delivers a structured yet refined experience with firm, well-integrated tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long, persistent finish. While approachable now, the 2015 Biondi Santi Brunello di Montalcino is crafted for decades of evolution in the cellar, promising to gain further complexity and harmony over time.
