Biondi-Santi
Established in 1880, Biondi-Santi was
a winery destined for greatness. It was founder Clemente
Biondi-Santi who launched his family's name in the wine
business. But it wasn't until the late-19th century, with
Ferruccio, that the estate at "Greppo" made its
mark in viticulture history. It was then, in the renowned
hills of Montalcino that Ferruccio took a clone of the Sangiovese
grape, known as Sangiovese Grosso, and produced the first
ever Brunello. Ferruccio's son Tancredi made the wine famous,
officially classifying it as Brunello. Within a decade Biondi-Santi
was receiving praise from wine-lovers everywhere. This new
classifcation of Tuscan wine forever changed the Italian
role in the industry. Today, it is Tancredi's son Franco
Biondi-Santi who runs the estate, producing nearly 70,000
bottles a year. These remarkable Brunellos are best-known
for their incredible ability to age. Even 100-year-old Brunello
from Biondi-Santi shows remarkably well.
