Rosso di Montalcino 2018 75cl

The symbol of Montalcino, the Biondi Santi name, remains one of the most famous in the appellation, producing one of the region’s best Brunellos. Current oenologist, Jacopo Biondi Santi follows in the path of his ancestors - Clemente, Jacopo, Ferruccio, Tancredi and Franco - at the Il Greppo estate. After phyloxera came in the second half of the 1800s, the family developed a specific clone, which now bears the name BBS11 (Brunello Biondi Santi 11) from which their unique Brunello Biondi Santi - Tenuta Greppo is produced. The rigorous clonal selection of their Sangiovese, along with their non-interventionist vinification approach, has produced wines with tremendous success for over 200 years. The study of the clones continues at Castello di Montepò, a medieval stone castle, which has remained in the family since its founding in the 1880s.
