The Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2012 by Biondi Santi is dedicated to Franco Biondi-Santi. It was produced with the Sangiovese Grosso BBS11 clone, identified and selected by Biondi-Santi at the Tenuta Greppo in the 1970s. Only grapes from the oldest vineyards, over 25 years old, were used. It is a typical expression of the oenological vision of Franco Biondi Santi. Its distinctive freshness gives a wonderful liveliness to the monumental yet refined structure. The bouquet opens like a symphony of soft and fruity notes that evolve into a crescendo of herbal, licorice, and balsamic sensations. On the palate, it is elegant and savory with crunchy tannins. The finish is long, clean, and fragrant.
