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. A noteworthy example of Biondi-Santi’s dedication to traditional winemaking practices.

This wine will be released in March 2025. The Biondi-Santi 2019 Brunello di Montalcino was born in a generous vintage that provided abundant high-quality fruit. The growing season became progressively warmer throughout summer, without heat spikes, and it ended with well-timed rains and a warm autumn. Harvest started in mid-September, and the grapes ripened according to the right parameters without over-ripeness. The wine shows a natural textural richness that is supported by dark fruit, navel orange, tobacco, laurel leaf and Mediterranean herb. There are flinty mineral notes that add to the complexity. This beautiful wine hits a special mark. it offers the ethereal qualities you expect of this celebrated estate, with a good level of austerity to match.

Just mid ruby with orange tinges. Brooding and subtle at the same time. Saline, minerally notes and iron, blood orange and cool cherry. And pet shop. Real complexity. Elegant, transparent and fluid on the palate with acidity that is a little vibrant and almost gossamer-like tannins woven into the fruit, but seemingly truthful to the historic style. (WS)

Tradition and Innovation

One of Tuscany's most venerable estates, the Biondi Santi family have been producing wines from the Greppo vineyards since the 1800s. Part of the French group EPI since late 2016, the winery produces three wines - a Rosso di Montalcino, a straight Brunello di Montalcino and a Riserva - all using 100% Sangiovese.

The vineyard team manage just over thirty hectares of vines and the focus is very much on traditional techniques and preserving the fresh character of the fruit. This means early harvests, long macerations and mostly stainless steel or inactive oak for ageing although the Riserva sees some more active oak initially before being racked into larger casks.
