Producer
Biondi-Santi Winery, nestled in the heart of Tuscany, is rightfully known as the “creator of Brunello di Montalcino”. The family’s legendary journey began in the mid-19th century, when Clemente Santi isolated the local Sangiovese grape and pioneered extended aging.
His grandson, Ferruccio Biondi-Santi, elevated the winery’s prestige and defined its style - powerful yet elegant, built for remarkable longevity. The estate is rooted in tradition, cultivating its own grape clone (BBS11) and favoring old Slavonian casks for a gentle, authentic fermentation. Their iconic Brunello Riserva, first produced in 1888, is regarded as one of the earliest modern Brunellos, with each new vintage regarded as a rare and celebrated event. Biondi-Santi remains a symbol of excellence and consistency, with each bottle embodying cultural heritage, minimalist craft, and the refined winemaking legacy of Tuscany.
