BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO DOCG
2017
Biondi-Santi's Brunello di Montalcino is the first Brunello in history and for 150 years has embodied the vision that inspired Clemente Santi in the creation of his first expression in the 19th century. It is today as then a distinct wine, with a complex and refined personality.

THE 2017 VINTAGE
A year marked by the absence of rain. In the spring we saw a late freeze followed by low rainfall and not very high temperatures. At the end of May, the latter had a significant increase above the seasonal averages. The summer was very hot and dry. The collection began on 11 September.
THE ORIGIN
Brunello 2017 was produced from a selection of Sangiovese Grosso from its own vineyards.
REFINEMENT
The Brunello 2017 was vinified in vitrified cement containers with the use of indigenous yeasts from our vineyards. It was subsequently aged for 3 years in Slavonian oak barrels.
EMOTION
An encounter between fragrant fruity notes and balsamic spices, the bouquet of the 2017 Brunello is initially rather shy, gradually revealing the breadth and depth of its aromatic elegance. Among the red berried fruits, the notes of red cherry stand out, accompanied by intriguing hints of white pepper, dried tobacco leaves, licorice root and citrus peel. On the palate its fruity heart is surprisingly fragrant and sports an enviable balance between finely textured tannins and refreshing acidity. The finish is savory, long and enveloping with slight hints of thyme and rosemary.
