Tasting Notes
Pure and classical with dried cherry, leather, earth, and dried herbs. Medium-bodied with razor-sharp acidity and firm, age-worthy tannins.
Our Review
Biondi-Santi is the historic house of Brunello di Montalcino. The 2017 Riserva is quintessential Sangiovese — austere, intellectual, and designed for decades of cellar time.
