Brunello di Montalcino is the flagship wine of Biondi-Santi. This wine embodies the spirit of Tenuta Greppo and the winemaker's distinctive style, forged over 150 years of history with its balanced combination of fresh elegance, depth, and aristocratic personality.
The history of the estate dates back to the 19th century, when Clemente Santi became the first Italian winemaker to vinify the Sangiovese grape. His ambition was to produce a long-lived red wine that could compete with the top wines from France. The first recognition for his efforts came in 1867, when his red selection—a Brunello avant la lettre—won a gold medal in Montepulciano.
Because of this, Biondi Santi is considered the founder of the Brunello di Montalcino appellation.
The Sangiovese Grosso BBS 11 is a Sangiovese clone developed by Biondi Santi (BBS stands for Brunello Biondi Santi) and is the only grape variety in the world named after a family. This grape is now also used by other producers to create timeless Brunellos.
