The 2010 vintage, particularly significant, contributes to a rich and intense profile, yet always faithful to a classic and rigorous interpretation of the territory.

Territory and wine style

This Brunello di Montalcino is born in the Greppo area, the identity heart of the Biondi Santi estate. The grapes come exclusively from the oldest vineyards, over 25 years old, and from a selected clone of Sangiovese Grosso, the BBS11. The result is a wine that combines tradition, precision, and personality, supported by a 3-year aging in Slavonian oak barrels and a long rest in bottle in the historic cellar of “La Storica.” The style remains austere, deep, and of great finesse.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents an intense and mature ruby color. On the nose, it offers a wide and complex bouquet, with small dark fruits, earthy and underbrush notes, aromatic herbs, fine spices like star anise and white pepper, along with hints of leather. On the palate, it is coherent, concentrated, and vigorous, with significant structure, great tension, and a long and persistent finish. The sip maintains a dry, severe, and deep profile, with a freshness that supports its evolution over time.

Recommended pairings

The Brunello di Montalcino 2010 Greppo Riserva Biondi Santi naturally accompanies structured and flavorful dishes: braised meats, game, stewed wild boar, important fillets, long-cooked roasts, and rich first courses like pappardelle with meat ragù.
