At that time, the current owner Clemente Santi saw one of his Sangiovese, the grape he studied and worked on for many years, awarded at the Paris Universal Exposition in 1867. Two years later, at a local competition in Montepulciano, his wine “Brunello” stood out with a gold medal. Today, time passes, the wine too, but the accolades do not fade. The 26-hectare estate highlights Sangiovese and masters the art of long aging, in the pure local tradition. The wine rests between 12 months (for the Rosso) and 36 months (for the Riserva) in Slavonian oak foudres (containers ranging from 10 to 140 hectoliters). A further aging in bottle then refines the tannins of this unique grape. The wines are endowed with incredible elegance and finesse. About the cuvée Since 1888, the date of Brunello di Montalcino’s first vintage, the Biondi-Santi estate, a benchmark of this denomination, has continually produced great wines when the vintage allows. The grapes come from the estate’s 26 hectares. Cultivated with respect for the environment and hand-harvested, the grapes ferment in concrete tanks before being aged for 24 months in large Slavonian oak casks, following tradition. Finally, a bottle aging perfects this great wine before it hits the market. On tasting, it is a wine of great power, while maintaining a fine balance and an elegance worthy of the world’s greatest wines. The wine’s aromatics develop around dark fruits (black cherry), spices, and blood orange. Its aging potential is immense: several decades will suit it perfectly. Pair this wine with refined dishes, such as a rack of lamb, a rib roast, or caramelized pork. It’s an essential addition to your cellar!
