Cherry, strawberry, balsamic, tobacco and spice flavors mark this silky red, which turns firm on the finish, with a dry, savory essence. Best from 2015 through 2022.

Biondi Santi is a Tuscan producer synonymous with the wines of Brunello di Montalcino and, indeed, has claims to being the inventor of the style. The wines are fragrant and floral with savoury hints, with bright berry and cherry fruit and peppery spice over a backbone of fine tannins and acidity. Riservas are only released in the best years, can last for many decades and often need 15 or more years to be tasted at their best.
