Brunello di Montalcino Il Greppo 2018, Biondi Santi
Eric Guido of Vinous awarded this vintage 95 points, describing it as “gorgeous, floral and finessed,” with a classic Sangiovese profile blending dried rose and black cherries, complemented by dusty earth, worn leather, and hints of cedar spice. The wine exhibits a beautiful ripeness of fruit, pure and lifted yet potent, with masses of red, wild berries and inner florals cascading across a core of zesty acidity. Additional tasting notes highlight a medium red/garnet color, with fresh aromas of orange citrus peel, dusty earth, cranberry, spices, and juniper. The palate is medium-bodied and more linear, lifting through with fine tannins and a refreshing, mouthwatering finish. The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino “Il Greppo” by Biondi-Santi stands as a testament to the winery’s legacy, offering a refined and elegant expression of Sangiovese Grosso. With its complex bouquet, balanced palate, and notable aging potential, it is a worthy addition to any collector’s cellar or for those seeking a distinguished Tuscan wine experience.
