Energy and refinement define Biondi-Santi’s 2019 Brunello di Montalcino, with lifted red berry and cranberry fruit layered by orange zest, savory herbs, and a subtle tobacco and mineral edge. Medium-bodied yet intense, it glides across the palate with finely etched, persistent tannins and a long, mouthwatering finish that is both graceful and firmly structured for the long haul.

Brunello di Montalcino by Biondi-Santi is the original, benchmark Brunello, a 100% Sangiovese (BBS11 clone) wine from high-altitude, clay-limestone vineyards around the historic Tenuta Greppo estate in northeastern Montalcino. Crafted with native-yeast fermentations in cement and long aging in large, neutral Slavonian oak casks, it is famed for its understated power, vivid red-fruit purity, and remarkable elegance and longevity, often evolving gracefully for decades.
