Biondi-Santi's Brunello is crafted from the estate’s exclusive BBS11 clone of Sangiovese Grosso, carefully selected at Tenuta Greppo. The grapes, sourced from 10 to 25-year-old vines, thrive in the clay-limestone soils of Montalcino’s historic vineyards. Known for its balance and finesse, this wine showcases vibrant red fruit, earthy complexity, and subtle spice, all supported by a firm yet graceful structure. Aged in large Slavonian oak barrels, it epitomizes the winery's tradition of excellence, delivering a standout expression of Sangiovese that combines delicacy with depth and aging potential.
The Biondi-Santi Brunello di Montalcino is both refined and balanced. As soon as you smell the wine you may feel the low presence of alcohol together with a variety of invigorating notes as dried herbs, violet, orange zest, forest berry, Morello cherry and crushed mint. The palate is delicious and succulent, dangerously easy to drink now, but also able to age beautifully, thanks to its bright acidity. A vibrant, juicy wine, which literally dances across the palate, with velvety and polished tannins, A saline mesmerizing touch adds complexity to the finish, reminding us what a wine with a "sense of place" means.

Today Biondi-Santi continues to produce wines renowned for their elegance and extraordinary longevity. Located just south-east of Montalcino, the winery spreads over 32 hectares of vineyards on soils rich in galestro rock and marl – perfect for the cultivation of Sangiovese Grosso.

Located in the heart of Montalcino, the Tenuta Greppo estate spreads over 32 hectares of vines on soils rich in heavy stones and marl – perfect for the cultivation of Sangiovese Grosso. Defenders of a rich enological heritage, Biondi-Santi employs traditional vinicultural methods started well over a century ago to highlight the wine’s unique characteristics, or tipicit†. Brunello di Montalcino was first created by Ferrucio Biondi Santi towards the end of the 1800s. Fortified by the viticultural experience of his maternal grandfather, Ferruccio Biondi Santi planted his new vineyards on the "Greppo" estate with the single clone which he had isolated, Sangiovese Grosso, vinifying all of his grapes without blending, marking the beginning of a new type of Tuscan wine for that era. The "Greppo" extends in a series of hills around 500 meters above sea level, facing southeast - east of Montalcino and benefits of a microclimate and ideal soil for the production of tasty and ageworthy red wine. The son of Ferruccio, Tancredi, skilled agricultural expert and renowned oenologist, established the foundations for the future appellation system in Italy. Tancredi was also resonsible for launching Brunello on both domestic and international markets, winning enormous commercial success within a few decades and gaining widespread recognition expert. Brunello, a true "wine legend," had been born!
