The 2019 Biondi-Santi Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Tenuta Greppo is a prestigious Italian red wine from Montalcino, Tuscany, produced by the historic Biondi-Santi estate. Crafted entirely from Sangiovese Grosso, this exceptional Brunello Riserva reflects the estate's traditional winemaking heritage and remarkable ageing potential. Its anticipated aromas reveal ripe red cherry, wild raspberry and dried rose petals, complemented by notes of tobacco, cedar, liquorice and subtle earthy spice.
On the palate, it is expected to be full-bodied with firm, finely textured tannins and vibrant acidity. Flavours of red cherry, dark plum and cranberry unfold alongside hints of dried herbs, leather and savoury spice. Its concentrated fruit character is balanced by refined structure and mineral depth, leading to a long, persistent finish with lingering red berries and elegant tannins.
