Biondi-Santi Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2016 is a pure Sangiovese from a vintage that has already attained status for its precision and structural intensity. The fruit was sourced from the highest-altitude parcels of the estate, where the limestone and marl soils yield wines of fragrance. The 2016 release is characterised by its incredible tension and mineral drive, having spent three years in traditional Slavonian oak. It offers a bouquet of crushed violets, wild berries, iron and exotic spices. The palate is powerful yet weightless, with a laser-like acidity and firm, chalky tannins that suggest a vast potential for ageing.
