BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO DOCG
2018
The Biondi-Santi 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 nineteenth century. Today, as then, it is a distinct wine, with a complex and refined personality.

THE 2018 VINTAGE
An averagely cool year, characterized by abundant rainfall, which accompanied us throughout the entire vegetative cycle. In general, the summer saw temperatures below seasonal averages. The harvest period in the highest and coolest areas was brought forward by a few days of north wind which helped to dry the bunches and plants well. The harvest began on September 16th and lasted 8 days with multiple starts and strict selections of the grapes in the vineyard.

THE ORIGIN
The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino was produced using a careful selection of grapes from the property's vineyard plots.

REFINEMENT
The 2018 Brunello was vinified in vats of various sizes and materials (stainless steel, wood and concrete). It was subsequently aged in medium and large Slavonian oak barrels.

EMOTION
Considering the climatic characteristics of the vintage, it is not surprising that 2018 gave birth to a fragrant and energetic Brunello di Montalcino, so well finished and balanced that it can be defined as pixellated due to its numerous facets. On the nose it reveals a low alcohol content and a great variety of scents, from dried aromatic herbs to violet, from orange peel to berries, morello cherry and chopped mint. On the palate it is simply delicious and succulent, dangerously easy to drink and, at the same time, capable of aging beautifully, thanks to its lively acidity. A vibrant and succulent wine, which literally dances across the palate with its smooth and velvety tannins.
