ROSSO DI MONTALCINO BIONDI SANTI 2020 DESCRIPTION

The Biondi Santi family, owners of Tenuta Greppo for generations, is a true institution of Montalcino viticulture: the progenitor Ferruccio Biondi Santi was the first to give value to the pure vinification of Sangiovese, successfully overcoming the difficult period between the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century with the viral spreads of powdery mildew, downy mildew and phylloxera and the outbreak of the First World War, so much so that in 1932 he was described by an inter-ministerial commission entrusted with the study of the Montalcino territory as the actual inventor of Brunello. His son Tancredi continued the work of enhancing full-bodied red wines based on Sangiovese, and was called in to advise producers from all over Italy who were fascinated by the prestige of Brunello Biondi Santi.

Today, the tradition of this key wine for the image of Montalcino continues along the quality path historically undertaken, with Franco Biondi Santi committed to strengthening the strict production techniques aimed at exalting the distinctive typicality of the various declinations of Sangiovese. In the desire to make known the expressive power of the youngest vineyards, as well as the historic soils that give life to the most famous Brunello, Biondi Santi has created Rosso di Montalcino from the Greppo Estate.

Matured for 12 months in traditional Slavonian oak barrels, Biondi Santi's Rosso di Montalcino is a promising 'relative' of Brunello, young and pulpy, immediately drinkable, yet capable of producing an aromatic evolution over time worthy of note.
