In the esteemed tradition of Biondi Santi, the 2017 Brunello stands as a testament to their unwavering pursuit of excellence, beautifully encapsulating the essence of a challenging vintage. The growing season faced climatic nuances, with a warm spring followed by a cooler summer, imparting a unique character to the Sangiovese Grosso grapes. This climatic dance resulted in a wine that exhibits a vibrant tapestry of red fruit, from lively cherries to nuanced raspberries. Delicate florals, a hallmark of Biondi Santi's craftsmanship, weave through the aromatic profile, adding layers of complexity.

The aging process in large Slavonian oak barrels imparts a signature structure to the 2017 Brunello. Fine-grained tannins provide a solid backbone, ensuring longevity and a graceful evolution in the bottle. Despite the challenges presented by the vintage, Biondi Santi has once again succeeded in producing a wine that captures the heart of Montalcino – a testament to their enduring commitment to crafting exceptional Brunellos, even in the face of nature's unpredictability.
