If you're looking for a knockout Italian wine, you can't do much better than Brunello.
Brunello di Montalcino is one of Italy’s most revered wines, and arguably represents the apex of what the Sangiovese grape is capable of. While consumers and critics often seem eternally destined to debate the relative merits of a more traditional style versus a more modern one, it’s impossible to argue that today's Brunellos represent a seriously delicious selection of wines, no matter how they’re made.
This is a particularly special time for one of the most revered of them all: Biondi Santi. The legendary producer, whose wines are discussed with the same sense of reverence as other icons like Domaine de la Romanée-Conti and Domaine Leflaive, recently released its 2012 Riserva, the last wine that Franco Biondi Santi had a hand in producing.
All of the nine wines below—listed alphabetically—represent an important part of the story that Brunello di Montalcino has to tell. Whether more modern in style or classic, from a great vintage like 2015 or a more challenging one like 2014, they all offer their own unique sense of pleasure and depth and, at the risk of peddling in wine-speak clichés, lessons about the land itself.
