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 is a re-release of a wine that first hit the market some seven years ago. The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is being reintroduced to the market, with only 2,500 bottles. This is a stunning wine that absolutely merits this considerable score increase. Made when dottore Franco Biondi Santi was alive and very present in the winery, this wine shows spectacular elegance and finesse, articulated with fine aromas of forest berry, blue flower, eucalyptus and lightly barbecued smoke. The wine shows extreme Sangiovese elegance and purity, and while the wine is almost fragile in approach, it ultimately reveals more brawn, volume and staying-power than anticipated.
