Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Riserva Tenuta Il Greppo Biondi Santi 2016 75cl
Biondi Santi's Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2012 is dedicated to the unforgettable Franco Biondi-Santi, the gentleman of Brunello. It was born in the vineyards between the ages of 15 and 30 of the prestigious Tenuta Greppo, a historic family estate located in an area with an extraordinary wine-growing vocation for Sangiovese. A red wine of immense finesse and balance, and incredible longevity: from 20 to 40 years. Awesome. Limited edition.
Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Riserva Tenuta Il Greppo Biondi Santi
Brunello Riserva by Biondi Santi is one of those wines that excite us, that make us understand how important traditions are to produce wines that are fully expressive of a territory and rich in character and personality. A wine that continues to make the history of the appellation thanks to the Biondi Santi family who, with passion and a maniacal knowledge of vines and soils, has been able to improve over time without losing its style inextricably linked to tradition. Coming from the vineyards of the historic family estate, Greppo , aged between 15 and 30 years, is a Brunello that ages for 36 months strictly in only large Slavonian oak barrels. Austerity, class and an out-of-the-ordinary evolutionary potential, for a bottle to be uncorked a few hours before consumption and become witnesses of the extraordinary instantaneity of a unique terroir.
TASTING NOTES Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG 2011 Biondi Santi
- At tasting, the Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG Biondi Santi Tenuta Greppo wine shows a bright ruby color, of great vivacity. Elegant aromatic complexity, changing over the minutes: red fruits in jam, dried lavender and oregano, undergrowth, Kentucky tobacco, followed by leather and sweet spices, with ethereal hints in the background. The sip conquers the mouth, little by little, widening in an engaging gustatory development. Silky tannins, excellent acidity in balance with the alcoholic boost. Persistent and satisfying, with a pleasantly savory ending.
