The 1997 Biondi-Santi Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Tenuta “Greppo” is a legendary and highly collectible Sangiovese from one of Italy’s most historic estates, produced only in exceptional vintages and released after extended ageing. The 1997 vintage is famed for its richness and generosity, now beautifully matured with decades of bottle development. The nose is deeply complex and evolved, revealing dried cherry, fig and rose petals, layered with notes of leather, tobacco, spice, balsamic and earthy truffle.
On the palate, it is full-bodied yet harmonious, with softened, integrated tannins and balanced acidity, delivering mature red fruit, savoury depth and remarkable complexity. The finish is long, silky and expressive, showcasing both power and elegance.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a true collector’s piece and a rare opportunity to experience fully mature Brunello from a benchmark producer. Drink now with gentle decanting. Perfect with truffle dishes, braised meats or aged cheeses.
