The 2009 Brunello was produced with our proprietary clone of Sangiovese Grosso called BBS11, which was identified and selected by Biondi-Santi at Tenuta Greppo. For this Brunello we used grapes from vineyards which were older than 10 years of age, including the oldest ones that are usually designated for the production of Riserva.

Spring and June were rainy, July and August dry. Picking started on September.

The grapes were healthy, ripe and rich in color with thick skins. The must was rich in sugar, extracts and acidity.

A testament of elegance and soul, the Brunello 2009 is a true gentleman’s wine with a bouquet of undergrowth and red fruits underlined by warm balsamic sensations and elegant flinty hints. On the palate it impresses with a vertical tannic structure and a vibrant freshness, while the soothing finish reveals hints of tobacco and vintage leather.
