Red wine dry
A majestic vintage where structure, elegance and freshness combine to create something special.2015 was a hot and little rainy year with high temperatures from May to August, which allowed the vine to produce highly concentrated grapes, perfect for wines of the highest class.At the beginning of September the north wind gave the plants a moment of freshness and refreshment before the final ripening phase, which was characterized by significant heat exchanges between day and night, typical of our high hill vineyards.Harvesting began on 21 September more than 10 days later than the average for Biondi-Santi.
Serve at 16-18 °C with game dishes, beef steaks, wild mushroom stews.
The Biondi-Santi 2015 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is initially a reticent wine and one that does not immediately subscribe to the overstated abundance and exuberance of the vintage. Give it time. I wrote this review after several tastings over several days so I could ensure a more accurate account of the wine's elegant reveal. Contemplative and exceedingly nuanced in personality, with wild berry, underbrush, ferrous earth and candied orange peel, this has everything to look forward to in terms of its future evolution in the bottle. It displays a pretty ruby color that borders on garnet and polished copper. A silky, mid-weight palate is accented by beautifully managed and silky tannins (this aspect of the mouthfeel is extraordinary), bright freshness and long-lasting fruit momentum. The alcohol is a bit more powerful in this release (at 14.5%), but the effect is supple and smooth nonetheless. I tasted bottle number 256.
Complex yet pure, subtle and refined nose that gently evolves, with mossy red cherries, dried roses, chalk, tar and dried orange peel. There is a lift of clove and eucalyptus that makes it so distinctive. A powerful, medium-to full-bodied Brunello, but seamless and bright, with a fine, transparent mid-palate and restrained, mineral austerity. Understated complexity that will need time to bloom. Hold until 2026.
Itin retas atvejis, kai galima atsekti vyno kilmę iki vieno konkretaus žmogaus, nes „Brunello di Montalcino“ atsirado būtent Ferruccio Biondi-Santi’o dėka, o jį išgarsino Biondi-Santi’ų šeimą. Dabar jau septintoji vyndarių šeimos karta gamina vyną, garsėjantį savo elegancija ir nepaprastu ilgaamžiškumu. Montalčino centre įsikūrusi ir 25 ha vynuogynų turinti „Biondi Santi“ vyninė laikosi tradicinių, daugiau nei šimtmečio senumo vyndarystės būdų. 1888 m. Ferruccias Biondi-Santis, remdamasis „Barolo“ pavyzdžiu, sukūrė „Brunello di Montalcino“. Tai buvo revoliucija, nes likusioje Toskanos dalyje joks vynas nebuvo gaminamas iš vienos vynuogių veislės. Tobulo stiliaus ir elegancijos vynas seniai įsitvirtinęs kolekcininkų radaruose. Šiuo metu vyninei vadovauja Jacopas Biondi-Santis, Ferrucio proproanūkis. Dauguma „Brunello di Montalcino“ apeliacijos vynuogynų užsodinti būtent iš „Biondi-Santi“ paimtais ‘Sangiovese Grosso‘ vynuogių klonais. Derlius nurenkamas gana anksti. Vyndarystėje dominuoja ilga maceracija: „Brunello“ fermentuojamas plieno talpose, o Riserva – ąžuolo. Vėliau vynai brandinami didelėse ąžuolinėse statinėse.
