Biondi-Santi Tenuta Greppo

It was Clemente Santi, pharmacist and natural science scholar who, in the second half of the nineteenth century, was the first to experiment with the production of red wine in Montalcino , an area hitherto known for sweet white wine. This experimentation, which immediately received positive feedback, was continued in the Greppo estate by his nephew Ferruccio Biondi Santi , who carried out a methodical clonal selection of Sangiovese , now known as Sangiovese Grosso. But it is with Tancredi , son of Ferruccio, at the helm of the company since 1917, a true ambassador of the wines of Montalcino, that Brunello di Montalcino reaches the top of fame and prestige in the world .
