About this Item
Tenuta Biondi Santi is a winery located in Tuscany, Italy, known for producing some of the finest and most prestigious Brunello di Montalcino wines. The winery was established in the late 19th century by Ferruccio Biondi Santi, who is credited with creating the first Brunello di Montalcino wine in 1888. Today, the estate is run by Jacopo Biondi Santi, the fourth generation of the family. Tenuta Biondi Santi is considered a pioneer in the Brunello di Montalcino appellation and is recognized as one of the most iconic and historic wineries in Italy.
An excellent vintage, this was Tancredi Biondi Santi’s second Riserva, following the 1925 vintage. This was produced in the aftermaths of the Second World War.
'La Storica' is the estate wine library; all the vintages of Biondi-Santi Riserva are scrupulously kept there, benefiting from a long refinement in the bottle and are re-released by the winery directly. Riserva is produced only in outstanding years.
Provenance
The Coats Family Cellar is arguably the most prestigious fine wine collection ever offered in South Africa. It contains a deep collection of the worlds finest, most sought-after wines, spanning over 150 years. Collected over many decades, the cellar was imported from Ireland to South Africa via reefer. Each bottle within the Coats Family Cellar was authenticated by Michael Egan in August 2022 and given an ID number for tracking.
Michael Egan is a world-expert in fine and rare wines with more than thirty five years of experience. He was the principal expert for the plaintiff in the two major wine counterfeiting trials in Koch v. Eric Greenberg and United States v. Rudy Kurniawan, both of which occurred in 2013.
Along with Michael Egan, the Strauss & Co Fine Wine team have tasted extensively through the cellar and are confident of the wine storage and hence quality. The entire collection is currently stored at Wine Cellar.
