The 2020 Biondi-Santi Brunello di Montalcino DOCG is a prestigious Italian red wine from Montalcino, Tuscany, produced by the historic Biondi-Santi estate at Tenuta Greppo. Crafted entirely from Sangiovese Grosso, this Brunello reflects the estate's traditional winemaking heritage and exceptional ageing potential. Its anticipated aromas reveal ripe red cherry, wild raspberry and red plum, complemented by notes of dried rose petals, tobacco, cedar and subtle earthy spice.
On the palate, it is expected to be medium to full-bodied with firm, refined tannins and vibrant acidity. Flavours of juicy cherry, cranberry and ripe plum unfold alongside hints of dried herbs, liquorice and savoury spice. Its concentrated fruit character is balanced by freshness and elegant structure, leading to a long, persistent finish with lingering red berries and mineral notes.
