Biondi-Santi

The Biondi-Santi estate, nestled in the heart of Tuscany on the historic Tenuta Greppo property, represents the absolute benchmark for Brunello di Montalcino. Established in the 19th century by Clemente Santi and refined by Ferruccio Biondi-Santi, this estate is credited with the very creation of the appellation. Remaining steadfast to centuries of tradition, the domaine cultivates its signature Sangiovese Grosso clone, BBS11, ensuring a pure, austere expression of the grape that possesses extraordinary aging potential, standing apart from the trends that have shaped much of the wider region. Biondi-Santi wines are defined by their firm tannic structure, vibrant acidity, and a complex aromatic profile that only fully emerges after years of patient cellaring. Every vintage offers a rigorous interpretation of the Montalcino terroir, consistently prioritizing finesse over sheer intensity. This relentless pursuit of elegance positions these wines at the very pinnacle of Italian viticulture. Available within the GVBSC selection, the 2018 Brunello di Montalcino is an exceptional offering for the discerning collector. Due to its highly restricted distribution and the stringent storage protocols required by the estate, these bottles remain outside the reach of mainstream retail networks. We are pleased to provide this iconic reference, sourced directly for our private inventory, to enhance the most distinguished private collections.
