The Biondi-Santi 2018 Brunello di Montalcino DOCG offers a refined and classical expression of Sangiovese. On the nose, it reveals layered aromas of wild cherry, rose petal, dried herbs, and subtle notes of orange peel and tobacco. The palate is vibrant yet austere in its youth, with fine-grained tannins and lively acidity providing structure and tension. Flavors of red currant, sour cherry, and forest floor unfold with time, leading to a long, mineral-driven finish. This vintage promises exceptional aging potential, with elegance and balance at its core.
