Biondi Santi Tenuta Greppo Riserva, Brunello di Montalcino DOCG, Italy 2018
Tenuta Greppo Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2018 is one of Italy's most iconic and collectible wines, produced only in exceptional vintages from the historic estate that created Brunello di Montalcino. Crafted from 100% estate-grown Sangiovese Grosso, the 2018 Riserva is a wine of extraordinary finesse, offering layered aromas of red cherry, wild berries, dried rose, cedar, tobacco, Mediterranean herbs, and subtle balsamic notes. The palate is impeccably balanced, with vibrant acidity, refined tannins, remarkable purity, and a seemingly endless finish. Built for decades of aging, this is a profound expression of Montalcino and a benchmark wine that embodies the timeless elegance, precision, and longevity for which Biondi-Santi is renowned.
"The 2018 Brunello Di Montalcino Riserva pours a deeper red color, while the nose reveals aromas of strawberries, anise spice, and roses, along with incense. Medium-bodied, refreshing, and mouthwatering, with a refined feel, it displays a ripe citrus-noted profile on the palate, with a hint of dusty earth and a long, clean finish. It's a beautiful and freshly styled Riserva to enjoy over the coming 20 years." Jeb Dunnuck 98
