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」!
2013年陳年紅酒傳述說了風土的味道。如花束般的濃郁香氣令人聯想到秋天的森林地表，散發出芳香的草本、牛肝菌與酸櫻桃的氣息。年輕時呈現出愉悅而緊緻的特色，極致的平衡與優雅揉合於陳年後的美味之中。味覺上，它的結構與複雜性完美地盈滿在口中，隨著時間推移逐漸增強而且持續綻放。
這是自1888年以來第40個生產Reserva的年份，也是第一個生產大瓶裝的年份。
The Biondi-Santi 2013 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is a stunning wine from all points of view. Seamless integration and elegant complexity are what stand out, and it's worth dedicating a few extra lines to the aromatic depth that is put so beautifully on display as the wine slowly unfolds. The bouquet starts off with wild cherry, earth, wet ash, crème de cassis and pruny chocolate. With extra time, there are hints of dried tobacco leaf, sandalwood and mossy forest floor. These lead to a fine tail of dried herb, bay leaf and a touch of rusty nail. The Riserva comes in numbered bottles, and I opened number 04277. To the palate, the wine is streamlined and silky with smooth tannins and a well-managed 13.5% alcohol content. The oak presence is reduced to a minimum, offering mild hints of spice and the delicate sandalwood or dried fig aroma I described above. Fresh acidity is the glue that gives the wine buoyancy and staying power. At this young stage, this 2013 vintage could be considered a bit shy or slow to start, but this will play out to great advantage in the long term as the wine continues its bottle evolution.
