Aged in Slovenian oak for years before release, this is the Brunello that defined the modern reputation of Montalcino — structured, savoury, and built for the table.
- Sangiovese Grosso from the original Biondi Santi estate vineyard, Montalcino.
- Ripe red cherry and wild raspberry, with dried rose petal and tobacco.
- Subtle spice notes from extended Slavonian oak cask ageing.
- High acidity and fine tannins, classic for long cellaring.
The Biondi Santi family's Riserva was the first wine to earn the Brunello DOCG designation in 1966, and their traditional method — long maceration, large neutral oak, extended bottle age — yields a wine of elegance and precision rather than power. Decant an hour before serving with braised meats or aged Pecorino. Contains: sulphites.
