The 2018 Biondi-Santi Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Tenuta Greppo Magnum (1500ml) is a rare and highly collectible Sangiovese from the historic estate that created Brunello, presented in large format for slower ageing and greater complexity. Produced only in exceptional vintages from the estate’s oldest vines, the 2018 highlights finesse, precision and aromatic elegance. The nose is refined and layered, showing red cherry, dried cherry and rose petals, alongside notes of spice, leather, herbs and subtle balsamic nuances.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with ultra-fine tannins and vibrant acidity, delivering pure red fruit and savoury depth. The finish is long, polished and persistent, with outstanding ageing potential - enhanced in magnum format.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A top-tier collector’s Brunello - elegant, rare and built for long-term cellaring. Best enjoyed with extended decanting or age for decades. Perfect with bistecca, game or truffle dishes.
