Tenuta Greppo (Biondi-Santi)
Riserva Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese
Montalcino, Siena, Tuscany, Italy
2009 Biondi-Santi Brunello di Montalcino
This week I had the pleasure of having the wine above which surprised me a bit. I am beginning to like these Brunello's.
The wine has a nice fruit forward nose with notes of cherry, raspberry, plum, clay and dried roses.
On the palate are expressive fruit of tart cherry, red plum, strawberry, licorice, white pepper and forest floor.
There is a full bodied full mouth feel, medium + Acidity and Medium + firm silky tannins.
A very nice bottle of wine and enjoyable to drink.
Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷

Lovely brunello, however she was still youthful and will spectacular the next dozen years. Earthy with dark fruits and a hint of smoke.

A serious Brunello from one of the best makers in Montalcino. Savoury with big dry tannins - some bitter plum skin notes. Built for the long haul like most B Santi wines.

Reductive nose, wants lots of air. Blew off after 20 mins. Rustic classic style

A beautiful wine- still very young but powerful and elegant. Oh yes Sangiovese at its finest! Can benefit from a few more years in the bottle.

Digging the old world with this Biandi Santi, the original Brunello. Medium body with a chalky structure, leather, and tobacco. Great food wine. Pass the prosciutto and pecorino please!
