Sourced from vines with an average age of over 25 years at the historic Tenuta Greppo, the 2019 Biondi Santi is a profound Brunello. The nose soars with wild cherry, blood orange, dried rose, and notes of iron and incense. The palate is structured and graceful, with a formidable framework of noble, fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity that promises incredible longevity.”\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eTasted October 2025\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine Enthusiast — 96 Points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n“Expansive, even exuberant, this is a Brunello that pushes back against expectations in a graceful and most welcome way.

The family's connection with Brunello dates to the 19th century, and Ferruccio Biondi Santi produced the first wine officially labelled “Brunello di Montalcino” in 1888.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe historic Tenuta Greppo estate lies at 564 metres above sea level near Montalcino. Biondi-Santi's vineyards comprise 32 hectares of Sangiovese across five plots, including old vines planted between 1930 and 1972. The estate has played an important role in the development of Brunello, including the selection of its BBS11 Sangiovese clone, registered by Franco Biondi Santi in 1977.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBiondi-Santi follows a deliberately traditional approach, favouring relatively early harvesting, long maceration and maturation in large, neutral Slavonian oak casks rather than new oak. The resulting wines are known for fragrance, freshness, fine tannins and acidity, with an ability to develop over extended periods in bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2019\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tenuta Biondi-Santi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWine:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tenuta Greppo Brunello di Montalcino DOCG\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrape:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Sangiovese\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brunello di Montalcino, Tuscany, Italy\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClassification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brunello di Montalcino DOCG\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.5%\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSweetness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaturation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oaked\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrinking Window:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2025–2055\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.5L Magnum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Craft Republic Liquor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51647464341819,"sku":"9271055623","price":1680.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/1540\/7675\/files\/2019_Biondi-Santi_Tenuta_Greppo_Brunello_di_Montalcino_DOCG_Magnum_1.5L.png?v=1788507189","url":"https:\/\/craftrepublic.com.au\/products\/2019-biondi-santi-tenuta-greppo-brunello-di-montalcino-docg-magnum-1-5l","provider":"Craft Republic Liquor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
