Minimal production ensures a very concentrated wine. The 2004 was aged for 30 months in oak barrels and then another 30 months in the bottle. The grapes hail mainly from a vineyard situated in a natural amphitheater alongside a small river. It's a wine of exceptional quality, personality and inimitable style. The finish just keeps going, it is sensational to experience. Brunello at its best in my opinion.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-token-index=\"0\" class=\"notion-enable-hover\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eROBERT PARKER (97)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis has always been one of my favorite vintages of this spectacular single-vineyard wine from Montalcino. In fact, I had previously scored the 2007 Brunello di Montalcino Cerretalto a perfect 100-points before I started working for Robert Parker Wine Advocate. I am tempted to do the same here, save for the fact I have the memory of the 2010 vintage with that super firm and precise elegance so fresh in my mind. This wine is larger, richer and more textured. There is a broader, looser quality to this wine's fruity extraction and composition. This expression has more meat or flesh on those bones. Giacomo Neri does some of his best work in these warm vintages that add so much fruit and balsam-like intensity. The 2007 Cerretalto is drinking beautifully right now, and I have no doubt that it will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. It has entered what I believe will be a long and successful drinking plateau.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWINESPECTATOR (95)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003ePure cherry and blackberry fruit mingles with mineral, spice and earth notes in this modern-style red.

The Biondi Santi is by far my favorite from this year, especially at its current stage. It exhibits remarkable depth, finesse, and balance. This wine is a perfect example of why patience pays off with outstanding wines. The tannins, though subtle, are already beautifully refined and well-integrated. It is brilliant to drink now, but it will undoubtedly improve over the next 5 years. An amazing wine if you are looking for immediate enjoyment from a top-tier selection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eROBERT PARKER (90)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eBiondi-Santi’s 2004 Brunello di Montalcino is an intriguing wine. Silky, refined tannins frame a core of perfumed dark red fruits as this compact, linear Brunello opens up in the glass. This medium-bodied Brunello is in need of serious bottle age, but the potential seems for the wine to develop nicely over the coming years. The estate’s 2004 is not a blockbuster, but rather a delicate, ethereal style of Brunello. It is also one of the finer wines made from this part of Montalcino in 2004.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Biondi Santi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48927308349787,"sku":"","price":239.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/0622\/6011\/files\/Ontwerpzondertitel-47.png?v=1724916496"}],"url":"https:\/\/theitaliangrape.nl\/collections\/brunello-di-montalcino.oembed","provider":"The Italian Grape","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
