Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Tenuta Greppo 2011 (750 ml.) - Biondi Santi

Brunello di Montalcino 2011 by Biondi Santi represents an icon of winemaking tradition. It was produced with the Sangiovese Grosso clone BBS11, identified and selected by Biondi-Santi at Tenuta Greppo in the 1970s. For this Brunello, grapes from vineyards aged between 10 and 25 years were used. It is aged for 3 years in Slavonian oak barrels. It was able to benefit from a long refinement in the bottle. A warm and enveloping vintage, the bouquet is an enchanting blend of generous fruity and floral notes, including hints of black cherry, blood orange and wild flowers. The muscular but elegant structure is characterized by a beautiful savory freshness and silky tannins that lead to a warm and persistent finish. Longevity: 20-40 years.

Biondi_Santi_870x360.jpg

No other winery in Italy is so intimately linked to its origins, history and to the whole journey of its name as Biondi Santi to Brunello di Montalcino. A story that has its roots in the nineteenth century, with the first evidence of winemaking by Clemente Santi, who devoted much of his life to the study of Sangiovese and who saw his "red wine chosen" - in fact Brunello - at the Universal Exposition in Paris in 1865. A path that has not stopped since then, and which has consecrated the winery as the undisputed leader of the entire area of ​​Ilcinese, an example of tradition to which everyone still today looks with admiration. The wines that come out every year from the Greppo Estate are, in fact, still considered today as some of the world's greatest wines, models of elegance and longevity. With plants that, in some cases, exceed even eighty years of age, the Estate Greppo can now count on a vine extension of twenty-five hectares, in which only large Sangiovese plants meet. The yields per hectare are very low, and are between 30 and 50 quintals, for an annual production that rarely exceeds 80 thousand bottles, including the 10 thousand bottles of Brunello di Montalcino Riserva, produced only in qualitatively exceptional vintages. In the cellar, only the first choice grapes come from vineyards that are at least ten years old for the vintage Brunello, and from plants of over twenty-five years for the Reserve. Then the processing, which begins with destemming, followed by crushing and fermentation, carried out in vats and cement tanks at a controlled temperature. Finally, after malolactic fermentation, aging begins in large Slavonian oak barrels, and finally bottling, which takes place not earlier than four years after the harvest. Few steps, simple, in the sign of the most rigid and essential traditions, for a Brunello, that of Biondi Santi, which meets its secret in its oldest origins, over the centuries renewed from season to season, towards a prestige and a international fame that today do not know limits.
