BIONDI SANTI Annata Tenuta il Greppo Brunello di Montalcino 1994BIONDI SANTI

The Biondi Santi winery, firmly guided for decades by Franco Biondi Santi, has become a symbol of Montalcino, and today, under the guidance of his son Jacopo, it is the undisputed point of reference for all Brunello enthusiasts.

The Biondi Santi wines received their first important awards at the 1867 Universal Exhibition in Paris, imposing themselves on the international wine scene for their multifaceted elegance. It was, however, the now historic 1888 vintage that produced what we know today as Brunello di Montalcino.

The heart of the Biondi Santi winery coincides with the historic Il Greppo Estate: a total of 43 hectares, 25 of which are populated by Sangiovese vineyards, where there are very old plantings dating back as far as 1930.

BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO ANNATA IL GREPPO

The Biondi-Santi flagship wine, the Brunello di Montalcino embodies the spirit of Tenuta Greppo and the signature style of our winemakers; forged over 150 years of history with its balanced combination of fresh elegance, depth and aristocratic personality.

-Vintage 1994-

The 1994 Brunello was produced with our proprietary clone of Sangiovese Grosso called BBS11 (Brunello Biondi Santi 11); which was identified and selected by Biondi-Santi at Tenuta Greppo in the Seventies. For this wine we used grapes from vineyards which were older than 10 years of age, including the oldest ones that are usually designated for the production of Riserva.
