Process & Profile

The Brunello di Montalcino Riserva from Biondi Santi is one of the most legendary wines in Italy, produced only in exceptional vintages from 100% Sangiovese Grosso grown on the historic Il Greppo estate. Hand-harvested grapes undergo a traditional fermentation before being aged for over six years—three in large Slavonian oak casks and the remainder in bottle—yielding a wine of unmatched elegance, structure, and aging potential.
