Brunello Di Montalcino DOCG Biondi Santi

The Tenuta Il Greppo has 25 hectares planted with Sangiovese Grosso 13 of these with old plants and 12 with new and very recent ones. Vineyards stand on a series of hills which are next to each other and characterized by deep slopes called Greppi and they are at an elevation of 385/507 m asl. Estate's soils lack in organic matter and they are rich in galestro that according to Franco Biondi Santi allows the Sangiovese to ripen by synthesizing some important compounds which make Montalcino grapes finer than others. Regarding the climate the hill of Montalcino is very peculiar; it is protected from the frosty springs and aired during the ripening months conditions that keep the grapes healthy even with humidity and rainfalls. This is a unique terroir that made Montalcino one of the most important wine regions of the world.
