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」!

Outer quote mark This was the first vintage overseen by Franco Biondi Santi, and it was an outstanding harvest at Il Greppo, with a rainy spring followed by a warm summer and mild September. The bottle, following the estate’s tradition of 'ricolmatura' for the old vintages, was refilled twice: in 1987 and in 2001. The still-vivid ruby colour with garnet rim announces the impressive freshness of the wine. The nose is scented with an old aristocratic style dominated by pot-pourri but also encompassing fruits, black pepper and tarmac, with flinty minerality in depth. On the palate it’s lively and on the cutting edge of bitterness, yet the toasted peanut finish, integrated with a sweet cherry kernel flavour, brings it back to perfect balance.
