Brunello di Montalcino originated in the late nineteenth century when Ferruci Biondi-Santi made the first wines soley from Brunello, a clone of Sangiovese which his grandfather had concentrated on isolating.
The Biondi-Santi estate "Il Greppo" lies near the medieval town of Montalcino, South of Siena. The wine, which enjoys a worldwide reputation, has a great ability to age being very tannic and hard when young. When mature, however, Brunello from this famous property becomes very structured, with pronouned acidity being balanced by sweet fruit, soft tannins and a gamey character
