About this wine

BIONDI SANTI Brunello di Montalcino

The luxurious farmhouse of Il Greppo sits in a propitious position where the terroir for viticulture has been appreciated for centuries. The 47 hectares that play host to 80 years old vines are the product of the vision of Franco Biondi-Santi who began work on expanding the family holdings in 1988.

With Il Greppo at the centre, Franco began to weave a tapestry of vines following the contours of the land. The solid of this amphitheatre are rich in stony marls known locally as galestro which feed the Sangiovese Grosso (the Brunello Biondi-Santi, or BBS11 clone) which produces aromatic and expressive age-worthy Brunello di Montalcino that offer a freshness born of high altitudes, cool nights and vinification in cement vats. The wines are raised in large traditional Slavonian oak casks known as botti.

ABOUT THE WINERY
Biondi Santi

With each generation at Biondi-Santi, Ferruccio’s vision advances a step further. His son, Tancredi, assumed control of the estate in 1922, effectively becoming the ambassador for Montalcino’s wines.

 

Biond-Santi remains a beacon for traditionally made Rosso and Brunello. At 90 years of age, Franco Biondi-Santi insisted on leading my tasting of wines from cask and bottle. The years go by for all of us, but I haven’t seen any decrease in Biondi-Santi’s enthusiasm and passion. The Biondi-Santi wines are more approachable young than they used to be, but little else appears to have changed.

 

The current production levels rarely exceed 80,000 bottles, including about 10,000 bottles of Reserve (only in exceptional harvests). The grape harvest is carried out entirely by hand and usually begins in mid September. The grapes are carried in baskets to the end of the row of vines, where a group of grape pickers selects the grapes, bunch by bunch, destining only the very best ones to go to the production of the future Brunello.
