2009 Biondi-Santi Tenuta Greppo - Brunello di Montalcino - 6 Bottles (0.75L)

BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO DOCG
2009

The Brunello di Montalcino Biondi-Santi is the first Brunello in history and for 150 years embodies the vision that in the nineteenth century inspired Clemente Santi in creating his first expression. It is today as it was then a distinguished wine, with a complex and refined personality.
THE VINTAGE 2009
Spring and June were rainy, July and August dry. The harvest began on September 17 with dry and cool conditions.
THE PROVENANCE
The 2009 Brunello was produced with the Sangiovese Grosso clone BBS11 (Brunello Biondi Santi 11), identified and selected by Biondi-Santi at the Tenuta Greppo in the seventies. For this Brunello, grapes from vines over 10 years old were used, including the oldest ones usually destined for Riserva.
THE MATURATION
The 2009 Brunello was aged 3 years in Slavonian oak barrels. It could benefit from a very long bottle aging.
THE EMOTION
Elegant and deep, the 2009 Brunello is a true “gentlemen’s” wine with a bouquet of undergrowth and red fruits, underscored by warm balsamic sensations and elegant flinty notes of pietra focaia. On the palate it strikes with its statuesque vertical structure and vibrant freshness, while the finish yields sweet hints of tobacco and leather.
