Rosso di Montalcino “Greppo” DOC 2018

Tenuta Greppo di Jacopo Biondi Santi | Tuscany
Franco Biondi Santi Tenuta Greppo | Villa Greppo 183 | IT 53024 Montalcino

The Rosso di Montalcino comes from slightly younger Brunello vines and is matured for 12 months in large oak barrels. It undoubtedly bears the signature of the top winery Biondi Santi: delicately sweet, open flavours of red berries, flowers and cloves. Like all of the winery's other wines, the Rosso is classic and firm in style, with a bombastic structure and a brilliant, long finish. True to the house, it also has a long ageing and maturation potential and can compete with some of the Brunello wines of the appellation today and in the future. SUPERIORE.DE

"Stylish, perfumed cherry and raspberry nose with a sweet balsamic note. Unobtrusive and balanced, fresh and the tannins are super-fine." Jancis Robinson

"The 2018 Rosso di Montalcino displays a bright, vibrant red colour in the glass, slowly unfolding to reveal pretty roses and hints of cherry, leather and Tuscan dust. The palate is silky and flattering, revealing outstanding purity with a vibrant display of wild strawberries and minerals. The 2018 then takes a turn towards the savoury side, becoming quite mineral yet remaining juicy and remarkably fresh for such a young Rosso." Vinous

"Elegant, graceful and fine, the Biondi-Santi 2018 Rosso di Montalcino offers a delicate approach to the senses and spreads out on the palate with polished and silky intensity. The acidity is very high in this vintage. A handful of historic producers in Montalcino are taking the Rosso category to the next level, and the venerable house of Biondi-Santi is one of them. This wine shows even ripening and is quite lively and tangy in terms of its acidity. In spectacular Sangiovese fashion, the wine finishes with lingering notes of wild cherry, sweet earth, floral soil and fragrant violets."
