The 1975 Brunello Riserva from Biondi-Santi is a profound and historic expression, showcasing the remarkable longevity that has made Il Greppo’s wines legendary. The bouquet opens with lifted aromas of dried cherry, blood orange, rose petal, tobacco leaf, leather, and deep forest tones, interwoven with hints of spice, cedar, and antique wood—aromatics that are ethereal yet remarkably vibrant for its age. On the palate, the wine is elegant and tightly knit, with fine, resolved tannins and a lively acidity that carries flavors of dried red fruit, savory herbs, earthy minerality, and a gentle balsamic echo. The finish is long, hauntingly aromatic, and full of quiet power, reflecting a wine that has evolved with extraordinary grace. This 1975 Riserva stands as a testament to Biondi-Santi’s unmatched ability to craft Brunello capable of lasting—and dazzling—for generations.
Biondi-Santi is the legendary birthplace of Brunello di Montalcino, an estate whose name is synonymous with purity, longevity, and uncompromising tradition. Established in the 19th century and guided for generations by the Biondi-Santi family, Il Greppo sits on the cool, high-elevation southeastern slopes of Montalcino, where galestro soils, constant breezes, and a restrained microclimate give Sangiovese its unmistakable tension and aromatic lift. The estate’s philosophy—long fermentations, meticulous selection, aging exclusively in large Slavonian casks, and an unwavering dedication to classicalism—has made its Riservas some of the most collectible and longest-lived wines in Italy. Each bottle reflects a lineage of craftsmanship that defines Brunello at its most noble and enduring.
