Tenuta Greppo Biondi-Santi Brunello di Montalcino Riserva

The Riserva is produced from Greppo´s Sangiovese vineyards of over 25 years of age and is made only in exceptionally good years. The Riserva is aged 36 months in Slavonian oak casks. The basic characteristic of the Brunello of Greppo Biondi Santi is its longevity, even over a hundred years. To allow the flavour to fully unfold, the bottle should be opened and a bit of wine poured out at least 8 hours before drinking. Trully Exceptional vintage. Very favourable seasons development with May rainy and warm, June dry and warm; July dry and warm; August warm with a few showers. September dry and warm. A dry harvest. Healthy and ripe grapes, very rich in colour, and must rich in extracts and sugar. With this excellent Reserve we celebrate the hundred years of the Brunello di Montalcino Biondi Santi Reserve 1891 (the first was the 1888). Re-corked in October 2000. Only grapes that come from the Estate vineyards are vinified. Uncork and pour out a bit of wine from the bottles at least 8 hours before serving. (Tenuta Greppo Biondi-Santi)
