Description

Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Biondi Santi, produced from the Greppo vineyards that are between 10 and 25 years old and also from the oldest vines, from a particular type of Sangiovese Grosso grape, clone BBS11 (Brunello Biondi Santi, vine no. 11), identified and selected with expertise by the Biondi Santi, is vinified only in vintages considered exceptional. A rainy winter was followed by a relatively wet and rather temperate spring. The summer brought warmth and stability, but temperatures remained generally below average. The rains at the end of August beginning of September extended the pre-harvest period, leading to a slow and very balanced ripening of the grapes. In particular, they benefited from a very high temperature range between day and night, which favoured the aromatic charge.

Vinification and Maturation
Harvesting began on 19 September, more than a week later than average, and was carried out in a few days, strictly by hand. After this first operation, the long process of vinification proper takes place. Vinification takes place in vertical Slavonian oak barrels using indigenous yeasts from the vineyards. It is then matured for at least three years, followed by bottle ageing.

Sommelier Suggestion We recommend pouring the wine into the decanter for a few hours to allow the wine to aerate to awaken all the aromas. This wine is one of the great Italian red wines particularly suitable for ageing. Remarkable already if drunk now, but we suggest to let it rest in the cellar to reach a full and harmonious maturity, with important aromatic evolutions. Ageing capacity of over 25 years.
Tasting Notes In the glass it is a brilliant red colour with marked garnet hues. On the nose, the fruit immediately reveals itself to be intense and compact with dark cherry, pomegranate and blood orange, so typical of Biondi Santi wines, while notes of Mediterranean scrub give off hints of thyme, rosemary and sage. Floral sensations, of red roses and violets, and then undergrowth are added later. In the mouth, it seduces the taste buds, spreading over the palate with caressing sweetness, while the pleasantly scratchy tannins emphasise its considerable structure and contribute to creating a lovely sensation of freshness that cleanses the palate, leading towards a very long, savoury aftertaste.
Pairing Advice
Pairing Perfect with savoury first courses based on meat sauces, it is ideal with red meats, especially grilled, stewed meats and game. It is also excellent with mature cheeses.

Buying safe and healthy products is a priority for many consumers, who do not always know how to identify them.

A careful and aware reading of the labels gives you all the information you need.

That is why it is important to learn to read and interpret them correctly.

The origin of foods, for example, is increasingly indicated on the label, and represents a valuable support for choosing the best products.

Food preservation is important both for those still to be used and for those open and used only in part, following the instructions on the label is essential to keep their characteristics unchanged

Food safety also means a healthy diet and are the priority for those who want to make an informed shopping, but they are not the only needs.

Making sustainable choices that enhance the biodiversity of products and respect the environment is a necessary act of responsibility, today more than ever.
