Brunello di Montalcino Biondi-Santi 2019 showcases fruit sourced primarily from the historic Tenuta Greppo estate in Montalcino, a property celebrated for its pioneering role in Brunello production. This wine underwent an extensive aging process in large oak casks, imparting a distinctive structure. On the nose, expect a blend of black cherry, plum and subtle earthy undertones. The palate reveals a firm tannic framework and balanced acidity, leading to a lengthy, savoury finish.
Producer Information
Biondi Santi is a Tuscan producer synonymous with the wines of Brunello di Montalcino; indeed, it has claims to being the inventor of the appellation. The Biondi Santi vineyard has 32 hectares (79 acres) of Sangiovese, of which five hectares (12 acres) were planted between 1930-1972. The vineyards are divided on five vineyard plots, located around the town of Montalcino. The main estate, Tenuta Greppo, where the cellar and the main vineyards are located, lies at an altitude of 564 meters (1,850 feet) above sea level The oldest vines form the basis of the Riserva wines, while the standard wine is made from vines in the 10-25 year bracket. Fruit from vines less than 10 years old supplies the dry, brightly aromatic Rosso di Montalcino. In poorer years, when no Brunello is released, Biondi Santi used to make a second Rosso di Montalcino, called Fascia Rossa, with fruit from the older vines. This is now discontinued. The grapes are picked relatively early for the region, and then undergo a long maceration. Most of the grapes are fermented in resin-lined cement using native yeasts. Those destined for the Riserva are vinified in wooden vats.
