The wine
Description and technical sheet
The Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG 2016 by Biondi Santi is the emblem of Tuscan excellence, a wine born from the historic winery founded in 1870, which created Brunello and helped define the identity of the denomination. This wine comes from the best selected Sangiovese grapes from vineyards situated on hilly terrain in Montalcino, at an altitude between 300 and 500 meters above sea level, characterized by a mineral composition that favors the wine's freshness and longevity. The Riserva is only produced in exceptional vintages, and 2016 is considered one of the best harvests of the past decades, thanks to a perfect balance between favorable climatic conditions and the rigorous selection of grapes. The winemaking follows traditional methods, with long fermentation and aging in oak barrels, which allow the wine to develop a complex structure and extraordinary aging potential.
Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG 2016 - Biondi Santi: Tasting Notes
The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva presents an intense ruby red color with garnet reflections. The bouquet is wide and complex, with aromas of ripe fruit, such as black cherry and plum, enriched by notes of tobacco, leather, noble spices, and a slight touch of vanilla. On the palate, it is structured and powerful, with silky and well-integrated tannins that give the wine elegance and roundness. The acidity is perfectly balanced, offering freshness and liveliness. The finish is long and persistent, with a slight minerality that recalls the Montalcino terroir. This Brunello Riserva is a wine of great class, ideal for pairing with rich dishes like roasted meats, game, and aged cheeses.
