Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2017 Biondi Santi

Brunello di Montalcino Biondi-Santi is the first Brunello in history and has embodied for 150 years the vision that in the nineteenth century inspired Clemente Santi in the creation of his first expression. Today, as then, it is a distinguished wine, with a complex and refined personality.

• THE 2017 VINTAGE A year marked by the absence of rain. In spring we saw a late frost followed by little rainfall and not very high temperatures. The latter at the end of May had a significant increase above the seasonal average. The summer was very hot and dry. The harvest began on September 11th.
• THE ORIGIN The 2017 Brunello was produced from a selection of Sangiovese Grosso from the estate's vineyards.
• THE REFINEMENT The 2017 Brunello was vinified in glass-lined concrete containers using indigenous yeasts from our vineyards. It was then aged for 24/30 months in Slavonian oak barrels.

The Brunello Biondi-Santi

"To spend your life working in nature, in this God-blessed country, is wonderful."
Frank Biondi Saints
​It rarely happens that the origins of a wine can be traced back to a single man. Brunello di Montalcino, however, owes its existence to the inventiveness of Clemente Santi and his nephew Ferruccio Biondi Santi who in the 1900s began to vinify pure Sangiovese Grosso in Montalcino.
Since 1888, the first vintage of Brunello in history, Biondi-Santi has continued to produce wines renowned for their elegance and extraordinary longevity.
No compromise. Careful attention to detail and excellent craftsmanship accompany the Brunello Biondi Santi, which is produced with hand-selected grapes from the estate vineyards. In the cellar, it is fermented in cement vats using indigenous yeasts and spends its aging in large Slavonian oak barrels, as tradition dictates.
