Biondi Santi
MONTALCINO - SIENA
The Biondi Santi are one of the noblest families of Italian enology, with a history that has continued for centuries and is inextricably linked to an absolute legend, Brunello di Montalcino. In the mid-19th century, Clemente Santi started producing single-varietal wine from Sangiovese and passed on his enological and scientific genius to his nephew Ferruccio Biondi Santi. In 1888, he produced the first bottle of Brunello di Montalcino, following extremely strict quality standards, further raised by his son Tancredi, a nationally renowned wine expert.
The 1970s saw the arrival of Franco Biondi Santi, the “gentleman of Brunello”: an enologist like his father, he carried on his winegrowing and winemaking practices, seeking at the same time even higher levels of quality and embodying a tireless promoter of the success of Brunello di Montalcino Biondi Santi throughout the world. The 1955 Riserva was listed by “The Wine Spectator” as one of the 12 best wines in the world of the 20th century, while the 1964 Riserva was chosen by Bibenda as the best Italian wine of all times for the occasion of the 150° Anniversary of Italy’s unification.
