Biondi-Santi Brunello di Montalcino Annata 2010

Biondi-Santi – Brunello di Montalcino Annata 2010

Tuscany, Italy

A legend reborn. The Biondi-Santi Brunello di Montalcino Annata 2010 stands as a monument to Italian winemaking heritage—the purest expression of Sangiovese Grosso from the family who created Brunello itself. Produced exclusively from estate-grown vines at the storied Il Greppo estate, this vintage captures both the power of the year and the grace that defines the Biondi-Santi style.

The 2010 growing season—widely regarded as one of Montalcino’s greatest in decades—offered ideal conditions for slow, even ripening. The resulting wine is a study in elegance, tension, and longevity. Aromas of red cherry, rose petal, orange zest, tobacco leaf, and wild herbs unfold with breathtaking precision. The palate is vibrant and refined, with silky yet persistent tannins and an undercurrent of minerality that promises decades of evolution.

Aged three years in large Slavonian oak casks and further in bottle before release, this is not a wine of flash but of depth and poise. It is the embodiment of classic Brunello—a wine that whispers where others shout.

🍷 Why We Love It: The 2010 Biondi-Santi is a once-in-a-generation vintage—pure, aristocratic, and alive with energy. A benchmark Brunello that defines what timeless Italian wine can be: not opulent, but immortal.
