Layers of red cherry, wild berries and strawberry in the Biondi-Santi Brunello di Montalcino (Tenuta Greppo) Riserva 2016 pulse with almost electric energy, framed by rose, tea, spice and a gentle earthy complexity. The palate is taut, linear and incredibly refined, with fine, gripping tannins and bright acidity stretching the flavors into a long, focused finish that clearly signals a great, slow-burning classic in the making.

Brunello di Montalcino Riserva “Tenuta Greppo” by Biondi-Santi is the original, benchmark Brunello, a rare Sangiovese Grosso Riserva produced only in exceptional vintages from the estate’s oldest vines at the historic Il Greppo property in northeastern Montalcino. Renowned for its extraordinary longevity, classic austerity, and intensely perfumed, mineral-driven elegance rather than sheer power, it is matured for around three years in large Slavonian oak and released in very limited quantities, making each vintage a collector’s event.
