Majestic, authoritative, noble, and distinctive, this is a Sangiovese which is completely and unmistakably self-sufficient. The facts to be chronicled are well known: the pioneering work of Clementi Santi who, in 1869, had already won a prize for his “choice red wine (Brunello)” from the 1865 vintage, the first wines produced by Ferruccio Biondi Santi in 1888 and 1891, including a Riserva, the continuing commitment to the zone and the wine on the part of Tancredi Biondi Santi, considered until his death in 1970 one of the greatest of Italian oenologists, widely sought after as a consultant in many parts of Italy in addition to his native township.
It was the work of Tancredi Biondi Santi and his son Franco which, after World War II, consolidated the fame and prestige of the family’s Brunello di Montalcino, transforming it into one of Italy’s best known and most expensivewines, a symbol of Italian excellence sought after and appreciated from Tokyo to San Francisco and from Perth to Paris.
Jacopo Biondi Santi, who has inherited the family love for wine and for its native soil, now continues, with gratitude and passion, this great tradition.
