Wine symbol of a territory, a region and perhaps an entire country, the "vintage" Brunello di Montalcino produced at the Greppo continues, year after year, harvest after harvest, to represent an icon of winemaking tradition and perfection stylistic. Coming from the vineyards of the historic family estate that are between 15 and 30 years old, it is a Brunello that ages strictly for 36 months in only large Slavonian oak barrels. Biondi Santi's Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2012 is a red wine of immense finesse and balance, whose most important characteristic is perhaps represented by its incredible longevity: from 20 to 40 years. Already immense today, it is a red wine to uncork and pour a few hours before consumption, as Franco Biondi Santi has always advised.
TASTING NOTES
Bright ruby chalice. On the nose, a complex and elegant bouquet and a profile that expands and changes minute by minute. First nose chiseled with delicate flowers and sweet spices, followed by a light fruit, a touch of ginger and a hint of verbena and mint. The mineral voice and the tobacco notes at the end are surprising. The taste has class and tension: classic, aristocratic, it is both graceful and austere. Three-dimensional mouth, which develops with progression, maintaining an unmistakable elegance and personality.
PAIRINGS
A wine for special occasions, Biondi Santi's Brunello di Montalcino goes splendidly with refined meat-based preparations, including roast. Impossible not to enjoy it even at the end of a meal, alone.
