Franco Biondi Santi passed away in 2013, but his son Jacopo Biondi Santi was already making wine at Il Greppo when the 2011 Brunello di Montalcino was produced. The winemaking approach has not been changed despite the father to son transition. This wine shows extra richness and texture with focused fruit aromas that are graceful but also powerful. There are hints of ripe fruit with dried cherry and prune buried deep within the bouquet. In the mouth, this Brunello shows good structure and acidity with a slightly denser feel compared to past vintages.
Montalcino Sud. Pale ruby. Much lighter nose than most. Very vegy and not a single nod to sweetness. Transparent and uncompromising in its bone dryness. Not a charmer. If you tasted this blind in a flight of Brunellos you might find it a bit too austere but it’s certainly true to Brunello’s history. 2024 - 2040
