Cellar
The Biondi Santi are credited with starting the tradition of Brunello di Montalcino. It rarely happens that the origins of a wine can be traced back to one man. Brunello di Montalcino, however, owes its existence to the Biondi Santi family, who began vinifying pure Sangiovese in Montalcino in the 1800s. Since 1888, the first vintage of Brunello in history, Biondi-Santi has continued to produce wines renowned for their elegance and longevity. Careful attention to detail and craftsmanship aimed at excellence have accompanied the company throughout its history, making the Brunello produced at Tenuta Greppo one of the most renowned Italian wines of all time.
Description
Fruity and fragrant, the Rosso from the famous Tuscan winery Biondi-Santi paves the way for Brunello. For Biondi-Santi, Rosso has always been a special wine with a precise identity: it reflects Biondi-Santi's elegant style with an important structure and freshness, elements that are fundamental for the wine's longevity, but what stands out is its fruity character that makes it perfect to enjoy even at a young age.
Organoleptic characteristics:
It has an intense ruby red colour. Rosso di Montalcino 2019 gives us fresh and energetic notes of cherry, blood orange, pomegranate, violet and honeysuckle, followed by balsamic hints of aromatic herbs, liquorice root and menthol. The olfactory and taste sensations are perfectly aligned. On the palate, crisp tannins and lively acidity lend both lightness and substance to the fruity heart of this Rosso, guiding us towards a savoury and persistent finish, punctuated by mineral notes. The longer the wine is left to oxygenate in the glass, the more the complexity and depth of this wonderful vintage is revealed.
