History: It is a rare phenomenon that a wine can trace its origins to a single man. Brunello di Montalcino, however, owes his existence to Ferruccio Biondi-Santi and his fame to his family. Now in the seventh generation of winemakers, the Biondi-Santi family continues to produce wines renowned for their elegance and extraordinary longevity. Located in the heart of Montalcino, the Tenuta Greppo estate extends over 25 hectares of vineyards on soils rich in heavy stones and marl, perfect for growing Sangiovese Grosso. Defenders of a rich winemaking heritage, the family continues to employ traditional winemaking methods that began over a century ago to bring out the unique characteristics of the wine.

Brightening, medium dense garnet red colour. Opens on the nose with notes of tea, delicate rose petals, as well as cherry and some raspberry. On the palate vivid fruit, opens with grippy, firm tannins, on the finish accentuated earthy notes.
