Biondi-Santi Brunello di Montalcino Annata 2019

Biondi-Santi Brunello di Montalcino Annata 2019

A quintessential expression of classical Brunello, the Biondi-Santi Annata 2019 reflects the historic estate’s unwavering commitment to elegance, longevity, and terroir-driven purity. Produced at Tenuta Greppo from the estate’s legendary Sangiovese Grosso clones, this wine continues the lineage that established Brunello di Montalcino as one of the world’s great age-worthy reds.

The 2019 vintage offers lifted, precise aromatics of sour cherry, red currant, and wild strawberry, accented by rose petal, blood orange, and dried Tuscan herbs. Subtle notes of tea leaf, tobacco, and crushed stone add complexity. On the palate, it is refined and linear, with vibrant acidity, fine-grained tannins, and a delicate yet persistent structure. Flavors of red fruit, savory earth, and mineral nuances unfold slowly, leading to a long, graceful finish.

Slightly more open and harmonious in youth than the cooler, more reserved 2018, the 2019 Annata still exemplifies Biondi-Santi’s signature restraint and exceptional capacity for long-term aging.
