The Biondi Santi family is intimately linked to the history of Brunello di Montalcino. It was Ferrucio Biondi-Santi who, in the 19th century, isolated the Sangiovese Grosso grape variety, with its firm tannins predestining it for very long ageing. Tancredi, his son, initiated the rules of the appellation, requiring extensive ageing in barrels and bottles before releasing the wine onto the market.

Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Riserva Tenuta Greppo Biondi-Santi serve at a temperature of 15°C. It will pair perfectly with the following dishes: Carpaccio de boeuf, Terrine de foie de volailles, Tagilatelles aux cèpes.

Information about domain Biondi Santi

Without its Biondi Santi domain, the Brunello di Montalcino appellation may not have become what it is today: a prestigious, Italian winemaking area with an international air. Known for the excellent cellaring potential of its wine, this domain’s reputation began to take off during the 19th century. The owner at the time, Clemente Santi, saw his Sangiovese grapes – a variety he had studied and worked on for many years – prized during the Paris Exhibition in 1867. Time flows, as does the wine, and the commendations haven’t dried up either. Enthusiasts from the world over snap up these crus because of their elegance and longevity.
