Subject: ✥Rare 1997 Biondi Santi Riserva - Great Price - Original Cases!✥

For more than 100 years the Biondi Santi estate (considered the birthplace of Brunello di Montalcino for creating Sangiovese Grosso) remains the benchmark for traditional-style Brunello. Made only in the best years, the Flagship Riserva is crafted from the oldest vines on the Il Greppo estate. Best enjoyed 15-40 years after being bottled, the late Franco Biondi Santi recommended opening the wine eight hours before drinking rather than decanting. 

These bottles are from original cases direct from the winery. Enjoy!
Happy to Offer

1997 Biondi Santi Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 

 $600 bottle 

 96+ Points Wine Advocate reviewed in 2018  “The Biondi-Santi 1997 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva was never previously reviewed; therefore, I am very excited to add an official record of this stunning wine to our database. This vintage delivers structure and age-worthy intensity that should carry it forward successfully for more years ahead. However, if you decide to pop the cork now, rest assured that this excellent Brunello has now entered its prime drinking window. The bouquet is polished and fine, with wild fruit aromas that segue to balsam herb and licorice. The finish is long and extremely polished. This is a real beauty.” — Monica

 96 Points James Suckling, tasted in 2016  “This is just a baby. So dense and refined. Superb intensity and power. Full-bodied, tight and exciting. Incredible. Goes on for minutes. Better in five or six years but beautiful now. Decant two hours in advance of serving.”
