The Biondi-Santi 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG is a benchmark expression of traditional Brunello elegance and age-worthy structure. On the nose, it offers lifted aromas of dried rose petals, redcurrant, citrus peel, and sweet tobacco, layered with subtle notes of forest floor and crushed herbs. The palate is refined and taut, with bright acidity and finely woven tannins supporting flavors of sour cherry, blood orange, and a mineral-driven core. Its balance of vibrancy and austerity suggests remarkable longevity, true to Biondi-Santi’s iconic style.
