This period of intense commercial activity laid the foundation for the region\u2019s development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the <strong>19th century<\/strong>, <strong>Clemente Santi<\/strong>, a local pharmacist and winemaker, initiated an important oenological revolution. Through massal selection of <strong>Sangiovese<\/strong>, he created a varietal wine at <strong>100%<\/strong>, designed for long aging, which in <strong>1869<\/strong> received its first official recognition. A few decades later, in <strong>1888<\/strong>, his grandson <strong>Ferruccio Biondi-Santi<\/strong> perfected the idea, introducing the &#8220;modern version&#8221; of <strong>Brunello di Montalcino<\/strong>, aged over <strong>10 years<\/strong> in large wooden casks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>20th century<\/strong> brought major challenges and transformations. The <strong>phylloxera<\/strong> epidemic devastated European vineyards, but <strong>Tancredi Biondi-Santi<\/strong> rebuilt the viticultural heritage by replanting <strong>Sangiovese<\/strong> and adapting the winery to produce wines of the highest quality. In <strong>1926<\/strong>, he founded the <strong>Cantina Sociale Biondi-Santi e C.<\/strong>, which helped expand <strong>Brunello\u2019s<\/strong> fame abroad, including in the United States. In <strong>1933<\/strong>, the <strong>Montalcino Wine Exhibition<\/strong> saw the participation of <strong>10 producers<\/strong>, marking a significant moment for the denomination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After <strong>World War II<\/strong>, <strong>Brunello<\/strong> acquired a reputation as one of Italy\u2019s rarest wines, with the <strong>Biondi-Santi<\/strong> family as the sole official producer. However, in the &#8217;60s, <strong>Montalcino<\/strong> faced a difficult period: the opening of the <strong>Autostrada del Sole<\/strong> caused dramatic depopulation and the decline of many wineries. Despite this, in <strong>1968<\/strong>, <strong>Brunello<\/strong> obtained the <strong>DOC<\/strong> designation, while the number of producers grew from <strong>11<\/strong> to <strong>25<\/strong> over the following ten years. In <strong>1980<\/strong>, <strong>Montalcino<\/strong> became the first area in Italy to receive the prestigious <strong>DOCG<\/strong> designation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The &#8217;80s and &#8217;90s marked an era of <strong>rebirth and success<\/strong>. Thanks to the <strong>international promotion<\/strong> by estates such as <strong>Banfi<\/strong> of the <strong>Mariani family<\/strong>, <strong>Brunello<\/strong> gained <strong>unprecedented notoriety<\/strong>, attracting <strong>local and foreign investors<\/strong>. Meanwhile, the <strong>Val d\u2019Orcia<\/strong> was recognized as a <strong>UNESCO World Heritage Site<\/strong>, contributing to the region\u2019s <strong>tourism success<\/strong> and the <strong>international fame of Brunello<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the 2000s, the number of <strong>producers<\/strong> reached nearly 200, with a predominance of <strong>small family-run estates<\/strong>. In <strong>2006<\/strong>, a <strong>Brunello<\/strong> was awarded by <em>Wine Spectator<\/em> as <strong>the best wine in the world<\/strong>, further consolidating its <strong>reputation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, in <strong>2008<\/strong>, the <strong>\u201cBrunellopoli Case\u201d<\/strong> scandal shook the region: some wineries were accused of <strong>violating the regulations<\/strong> requiring <strong>100% Sangiovese<\/strong>. The episode led to a <strong>return to tradition<\/strong>, greater attention to <strong>authenticity<\/strong>, and <strong>more rigorous agronomic practices<\/strong>, also adapted to <strong>climate change<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In <strong>2016<\/strong>, the <strong>Biondi Santi<\/strong> estate was acquired by the French <strong>Epi holding<\/strong>, confirming the <strong>international interest<\/strong> in this great wine. In <strong>2023<\/strong>, for the second time, a <strong>Brunello<\/strong> was named <strong>best wine in the world<\/strong> by <em>Wine Spectator<\/em>, confirming <strong>Montalcino\u2019s<\/strong> role as one of the <strong>world capitals of winemaking<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What are the best Brunello di Montalcino Wines?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.italysfinestwines.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/jean-marco-palmieri.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32495\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1;width:261px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.italysfinestwines.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/jean-marco-palmieri.png 1000w, https:\/\/www.italysfinestwines.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/jean-marco-palmieri-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.italysfinestwines.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/jean-marco-palmieri-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.italysfinestwines.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/jean-marco-palmieri-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/www.italysfinestwines.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/jean-marco-palmieri-600x600.png 600w, https:\/\/www.italysfinestwines.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/jean-marco-palmieri-696x696.png 696w, https:\/\/www.italysfinestwines.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/jean-marco-palmieri-420x420.png 420w, https:\/\/www.italysfinestwines.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/jean-marco-palmieri-840x840.png 840w, https:\/\/www.italysfinestwines.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/jean-marco-palmieri-640x640.png 640w, https:\/\/www.italysfinestwines.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/jean-marco-palmieri-50x50.png 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What are the best Brunello di Montalcino?

However, it remains essential to underline that wine was not born as a status symbol, to be exhibited or shown off coram populo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But to get excited and be shared in a genuine way with the people we love, connecting to contingent situations and the unrepeatable and intimate moments of our lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Therefore, we invite you to visit the companies and get to know the producers who produce wines in their uniqueness, so that you can discover and independently choose the wine that canbe counted among your personal favorite wines for you. If you have had the patience to read this far, I thank you for your attention, but now is the time to fill the glasses and cut off distant hopes, and therefore:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cheers, Health, Sant\u00e9<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jean Marco Palmieri<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM @JEAN_MARCO_PALMIERI Discover our updated list of the best Brunello di Montalcino.
