Biondi-Santi Il Greppo Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 6-Pack 750ml

Sangiovese (Grosso)

Vintage: 1968
Winery: Biondi-Santi Il Greppo
Description: Hand selected by Sergio Esposito and Franco Biondi Santi. You cannot find a bottle of these legendary wines with a higher level of provenance – they are museum pieces that reflect the pioneering efforts from the patriarch of Brunello di Montalcino. This rare, six pack is directly from the cellars of Biondi Santi, where the wine has been stored since its bottling. The wine is considered to be one of the greatest from the estate. Just 20 six packs are available as of December 26th. (A word from Franco Biondi Santi):. Vintage between excellent and exceptional. Re-corked in 2000. There is a small amount of insoluble coloured semi crystalline sediments. Only grapes that come from the Estate vineyards are vinified. The bottles should be placed vertically at least one week before serving, so that the coloured sediments drop to the bottom. Uncork and pour out a bit of wine from the bottles at least 8 hours before serving. The "Riserva" is produced from Greppo's Sangiovese vineyards of over 25 years of age and is made only in exceptionally good years. The grapes are selected from altitudes of 300 to 500 meters. The "Riserva" is aged 36 months in Slavonian oak casks. The basic characteristic of the Brunello of Greppo Biondi Santi is its longevity, even over a hundred years.
