Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Il Greppo 2010, Biondi Santi
An absolute masterpiece of world winemaking. The combination of a perfect vintage and Franco Biondi Santi's sensitivity has created a wine of otherworldly elegance. The olfactory profile is a labyrinth of flowers, fruits, and noble spices, while the taste shines with a tension and depth that only immortal wines possess.
Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Il Greppo 2010, Biondi Santi
The 2010 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva by Biondi Santi is the essence of legend, the last Riserva entirely overseen by "Il Dottore," Franco Biondi Santi, before his passing. In a vintage considered legendary for its balance and depth, this Riserva represents the absolute pinnacle of Sangiovese Grosso. On the nose, it is a symphony of rare precision: it begins with small, crisp red fruits and rose petals, then unfolds into notes of blood orange, blond tobacco, incense, and a flint-like minerality that is almost sharp. On the palate, it is an architectural wine: the structure is imposing yet defined by ethereal grace. The acidity is vibrant and noble, perfectly integrated into a dense, velvety tannic weave that leads to a finish of infinite persistence, savory and citrusy.
