BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO
VINTAGE 2018
DENOMINAZIONE D'ORIGINE CONTROLLATA E GARANTITA
This wine is the fruit of a collaboration with a part of the family which grows its vines close to Biondi Santi estate "Il Greppo", the cradle and heart of the Brunello di Montalcino appellation. Around this village, the Sangiovese, called "Brunello", benefits from one of the best terroirs in the world. Here, the soil alternates clays and marine deposits and Santa Fiora stones, originating from the extinct Monte Amiata volcano. A unique Alpine-Mediterranean climate gives late-ripening seasons, creating long age worthy wines which can express all of Sangiovese’s bouquet and varietal characteristics.
