Biondi-Santi Tenuta Greppo Brunello di Montalcino 2017

Biondi-Santi Tenuta Greppo Brunello di Montalcino 2017 is an extraordinarily refined, high-altitude Italian red wine boasting remarkable freshness and energy despite the warm vintage. The nose reveals an aromatic medley of sour cherry, blood orange, crushed rose petals, and wild strawberry, complemented by hints of Mediterranean herbs, flint, cedar, and tobacco leaf. On the palate, it exhibits a classic, linear structure framed by firm yet silky tannins, vibrant driving acidity, and an exceptionally long, savory-mineral finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs superbly with roasted game, grilled Florentine T-bone steak, braised veal shanks, wild mushroom risotto, or aged Pecorino Toscano cheese.

Sweet berry, orange peel, cedar, bark and forest flower aromas follow through to a medium to full body, with linear and fine tannins and a crunchy undertone. It’s very subtle and fresh for a 2017. Crisp and vivid. It’s refined and acid-driven. Needs three to four years more to soften. Try after 2026.
