Biondi Santi家族的歷史和Brunello di Montalcino的歷史開始緊密地交織在一起。1966年DOC成立時，是Ferruccio的兒子Tancredi制定了Brunello生產的規範。此後，該家族的貢獻，促使Montalcino地區享有今日崇高的聲譽：《Wine Spectator》雜誌更將1955年的Riserva選入20世紀最偉大的12瓶葡萄酒之一，同時也是唯一一款入選的義大利酒。1994年Franco Biondi Santi為慶祝Brunello di Montalcino誕生100週年，舉辦了從1888-1988的Riserva 垂直品飲會，獲得各界關注與激賞。2021年歐洲國家盃義大利奪冠，慶祝喝的就是義大利國寶天王酒「Biondi Santi Brunello di montalcino Annata」!
This older release is paired with the 2011 Riserva in a special packaging effort now proposed by the new management team at Tenuta Greppo. The Biondi-Santi 1997 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva was never previously reviewed; therefore, I am very excited to add an official record of this stunning wine to our database. This vintage delivers structure and age-worthy intensity that should carry it forward successfully for more years ahead. However, if you decide to pop the cork now, rest assured that this excellent Brunello has now entered its prime drinking window. The bouquet is polished and fine, with wild fruit aromas that segue to balsam herb and licorice. The finish is long and extremely polished. This is a real beauty.
