FEATURES
The 2007 Biondi Santi Brunello di Montalcino embodies the spirit of Tenuta Greppo, showcasing over 150 years of winemaking history with its balanced combination of fresh elegance, depth, and aristocratic personality. The vintage experienced a cold, wet winter and spring, followed by warm, dry summer months with regular rainfall, culminating in a very dry September with significant diurnal temperature shifts. This Brunello is crafted from the estate's proprietary Sangiovese Grosso clone, BBS11, from vines aged 10 to 25 years, and aged for three years in Slavonian oak barrels, followed by extensive bottle refinement.
Tasting notes reveal an iconic Italian wine with clear fruit interpretations of red cherry, blackberry, and cassis, complemented by aromas of forest floor, dried rose petals, black truffle, and tobacco. The palate is full-bodied, powerful, and structured, with concentrated wild cherry and cinnamon-spice flavors, bracing tannins, and remarkable freshness for its age, leading to a long, pure, and firm finish.
As a 2007 vintage, this is a mature wine that has benefited from significant bottle age. It is ideal for a very special occasion, a celebratory dinner, or a connoisseur's tasting. It is recommended to drink between 2017 and 2037, indicating its excellent aging potential.
Serving advice: Expect some natural sediment in a wine of this age. Decant gently for at least 1-2 hours to allow it to breathe and separate from deposits. Handle the bottle carefully to avoid disturbing the sediment. Serve at a cool cellar temperature (around 16-18°C / 60-64°F). Be prepared for an older cork; a two-pronged Ah-So opener or a Durand can be helpful.
Food pairing suggestions: Beef and venison dishes, roasted game, truffle-infused pasta, wild mushroom risotto, and aged Pecorino cheese.
