Biondi-Santi also thinks that his Riserva is one of the world’s longest-lasting wines:
“Even though Italian wine legislation requires that Brunello be matured in barrels for two years and in bottles for four to six months, we allow our wine to age for five to six years before bottling. We traditionally use Slovenian barrels, which further enhance the longevity of the wine. Then we cellar the Brunello in bottles for at least another two years ...
The 2016 Biondi-Santi Tenuta Greppo Brunello di Montalcino Riserva presents a brilliant, luminous ruby-red color and an extraordinarily complex, ethereal bouquet of wild red berries, dried rose petals, menthol, underbrush, subtle leather, and fine-grained balsamic spices. On the palate, this iconic masterpiece offers a stunning interplay of power and weightless grace, driven by vibrant, razor-sharp acidity, powerful yet impeccably refined tannins, and a crystalline mineral core that culminates in an exceptionally long, structured, and timelessly elegant finish.
