The 2019 Biondi Santi, Brunello di Montalcino was a Merchant's Pick

99 point Biondi Santi Brunello • A Collector's Essential

April 02, 2025

Biondi Santi is not just a Brunello - it is a Brunello experience.

Few make a better Brunello than Biondi Santi.  The winery is a collectible, benchmark producer with representation at auction houses worldwide.

With an intentional late release with each vintage, Biondi Santi is known for its depth and structure, which is attributed to its altitude.  Vineyards are 1,400 - 1,600 feet above sea level and produce gorgeous Sangiovese that can age for decades (and decades).

Why We Love Biondi Santi Brunello

The quality of this estate is unmatched.  Biondi Santi explodes from the glass with a kaleidoscope of flavors:  black and dark red cherry, earth, balsamic, eucalyptus, gorgeous, gripping tannins, walnuts, exotic spice, and tobacco leaf.

Biondi Santi was the first estate to produce a Brunello in the late 19th century. The quality of the wine is unmatched.

With upfront charm, the 2019 Biondi Santi has structure and depth for 25+ years of aging and is a gorgeous Brunello to add to your collection.

Enjoy!

THE Benchmark Brunello In Any Vintage

“Built solidly on classic lines.”

Decanter • 98 / 100

"Biondi Santi’s latest Brunello is built solidly on classic lines. Captivatingly austere, it hints at pomegranate and tea leaf to begin, with balsamic rosemary and sage blossom taking hold as it opens. Neither overtly dense nor powerful, it trades instead on grace and linearity. Firm, al dente tannins stretch out, sculpting a sinewy core of blood orange and pink grapefruit. Nervous energy brings edgy tension, and appetizing bitter herbs bring this to an auspicious conclusion."

“A long and savory finish.”

Jeb Dunnuck • 98 / 100

"A bright red color, the 2019 Brunello Di Montalcino was bottled in March of 2024 and will be released in March of 2025. The aromas are layered and complex with notes of red berries, cranberries, rosemary, orange peel, and black licorice that are constantly evolving in the glass as it opens. Medium-bodied and structured, but also elegant with a weightless feel, it has a long and savory finish. It feels as though it's going to gain in intensity with more time in bottle."

“A classic offering.”

Kerin O'Keefe • 98 / 100

"The radiant Biondi Santi 2019 Brunello is a classic offering from the estate and follows the focus on elegance energy and restraint that Franco Biondi Santi and his father and before him were both known for. It opens with enticing scents of violet dog rose wild berry and dark culinary spice that on the vibrant focused palate segue into red cherry pomegranate licorice and black tea. Taut refined tannins provide support while racy acidity keeps it balanced and lends tension. It's still youthfully austere and shows great aging potential."
