Counting down the days until a few more bottles of the 1997 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva from Biondi-Santi arrive.
The '97 vintage was hailed as one of the greatest of the 20th century - thanks to a warm growing season and standout wines from Tuscany’s coolest Sangiovese sites. While many wines from the year have evolved more quickly than expected, Biondi-Santi's Riserva stands apart.
From the estate's steep slopes and legendary BBS11 clone, this wine remains vibrant and composed. The nose is lifted and complex: sweet to***co, polished leather, spiced plum. The palate? Still fresh and structured, with savoury red berries, liquorice, and that signature elegance. Velvety tannins, an iron-tinged finish. A timeless wine from one of Italy’s true icons.
