Biondi Santi Brunello di Montalcino 750 mL
Red Wine | 14% ABV | 750 mL

Process & Profile

This Brunello di Montalcino from the historic Biondi Santi Il Greppo estate is crafted entirely from Sangiovese Grosso, the same clone that the winery pioneered in the late 19th century. The grapes are hand-harvested from estate vineyards before undergoing a traditional fermentation. The wine is matured for three years in large Slavonian oak casks, followed by extended bottle aging, yielding a refined, structured, and age-worthy expression of Brunello.
