    I had some 2011 Biondi-Santi a few weeks ago at an italian restaurant and it was one of the best wines I've ever had. Paired incredibly well with Veal Osso Buco.

    So Biondi-Santi took the wines of Montalcino from being "Field Blends" to single varietal oak cask aged wines to make them distinct from Chianti?

      Joseph: I am not sure they singlehandedly did this but they are the producer known for elevating Brunello to its current status. Going backwards, most wines produced several hundred centuries ago was sweet, then white....at some point, red wines started to be produced in the region and then I think Biondi Santi came along to age and distinguish the Sangiovese clone from other grape varietals. Cheers!

    We drink Brunello quite often at our wine club. A producer I would like to shout out is Val di Suga, they have some quite interesting single vineyard expressions of Brunello.

      Henri: thanks for the info...I will look for this producer but I don't think we see them in B.C. Cheers!

    I had the 2010 Biondi and it was good but not worth the hype.

      Jonnhy: good to know. Maybe it needs a few more years? Or was it fully mature already. Cheers!

      excellent, only tried several vintages and I have to say, even with such a legendary winery with such high prices, quality still varies@@TrophyWineHunter

      @@Ruirspirul Yes, you are correct...that is my experience also. Having said that, even though there is variation, it is still a pretty decent wine in any vintage. Cheers!

      @@TrophyWineHunter true but for the price we are paying, “decent” should not be enough… having said that, their entry level Roso is almost always increible😅

    Love the breakdown. Brunello was one of the first wines I really enjoyed. Still have yet to try Biondi Santi's Sangiovese clone!

    I’ve had two of the three Brunello’s on your table….. not hard to guess which one I haven’t tried. One day when prices return to normal I may spring for a Biondi. In the meantime, there are plenty other beautiful wines to try.

      nosyrosie: thank you for viewing my video. In fact, I have tasted all of them and did separate reviews of each of them. Just use the search tool on my channel to see my in depth review of each. My videos are normally 15 minutes long so if I were to taste all 3 of these, this video would be a hour long! Please like, subscribe and keep watching. Cheers!
