14 iconic Brunello wine estate to visit in Montalcino

Among vineyards, barrel cellars and unique stories. a journey to discover the wine that the whole world envies us.

The fortunes of Montalcino wine began in the Middle Ages thanks to its location on the Francigena, the pilgrims' route to Rome. And its good wine was much appreciated. Until the beginning of the 19th century, the must was the sweet and sparkling Moscadello, produced from white Muscat grapes. The birth of Brunello took place only in the 19th century, thanks to Clemente Santi's studies on the clone of Sangiovese Grosso. In addition to the Biondi Santi family, the Padelletti family (the first to put printed labels on bottles), the Paccagnini family, the Colombini family (pioneers in mail-order sales), the Caetani Lovatelli family and other families contributed to improving the quality of Brunello di Montalcino, a great wine for ageing, adored throughout the world for its power and longevity.

Biondi Santi Tenuta Greppo Unforgettable bottles have been corked in this cradle of historic Brunello di Montalcino production. The two reserves, 2004 and 2006, in particular, represent for many connoisseurs and sommeliers special vintages, worthy representatives of this wine of few comparisons, with its fruity, mineral scent and great depth on the palate.

Ciacci Piccolomini In Castelnuovo dell'Abate, a hamlet of Montalcino, stands the seventeenth-century Palazzo del Vescovo, which became the property of the Ciacci Piccolomini of Aragon in 1877. Inherited by Giuseppe Bianchini in 1985 due to the extinction of the family, it became the residence and headquarters of the farm. Today the palace is a wine cellar/museum that can be visited by appointment, where the most prestigious wines destined for long ageing rest in the ancient underground rooms.

Casato Primedonne Historic property, now in the hands of Dornatella Cinelli Colombini, 40 hectares in which 17 hectares of Sangiovese vineyards and the cellar for the vinification and barrel aging of Rosso and Brunello di Montalcino. The cellarers are all women, including the oenologist, a unique feature in Italy. Another special feature, which makes the visit to the cellar unique, are the frescoes on the history of Montalcino, which intersperse the barrels of Brunello. The guide tells tourists the little secrets of Brunello, stories and legends of this ancient territory.

Luce Estate This is the jewel in the Marquis Lamberto Frescobaldi's crown in Montalcino. The estate combines, in a perfect balance, the tradition of one of the world's historic wine families, and modernity, understood as a look that is always attentive to the future and aimed at making the most of what this exceptional land can offer. This is the birthplace of Luce, a blend of Sangiovese and Merlot grapes, which, in addition to being the first wine produced in Montalcino, is the iconic product of the Frescobaldi brand. Romitorio Castle A temple, a monastery, a manor that has stood among the vineyards of Montalcino since Etruscan times, and finally the workshop of the master of the Italian Transavanguardia, Sandro Chia. A postcard place. Drinking his Brunello is an aesthetic experience that begins with the designer labels. Chia was the first to decorate them. Castiglion del Bosco An entire medieval hamlet owned by Massimo and Chiara Ferragamo since 2003, transformed into a luxury hotel with a spa, gourmet restaurants, a golf course and an extraordinary wine cellar with the private cellars of top guests, who keep their bottles stored there, as if in a vault, so they can taste them here. At harvest time we can all have Haverst Experiences and during the rest of the year guided tours of the winery and tastings.

Casanova di Neri Not only a distinguished Brunello di Montalcino winery, but a true centre for wine research and brand promotion. The two labels, Cerretalto and Tenuta Nuova, are different and complementary for some of the best Brunello ever. The Etichetta Bianca is famous for its high volume but still high quality.

The Cerbaiona Renowned throughout the world, Diego Molinari's winery brings to the market a rare and prized Brunello, with a high cost but which unlocks the benefits of Sangiovese on the palate like few others. Defined by some as epic, La Cerbaiona's Brunello is one of the most awarded wines ever.

Banfi Castle Owned by the Mariani family since 1978, the winery uses the most advanced technology to preserve the richness of the grapes. There are more than 7000 barriques and barrels are located. Next to the production areas, the Castello di Poggio alle Mura is now completely renovated. Visits consist of a tour of the winery and conclude with tastings of Rosso di Montalcino, Brunello di Montalcino Castello Banfi and Poggio all'Oro, together with samples of local cured meats and cheeses in the Enoteca Banfi, or with lunches at the La Taverna restaurant and dinners under the fascinating vaults of the Sala dei Grappoli.

Uccelliera Andrea Cortonesi has created the fruit of his labours day after day, earning critical praise and an adoring public for his Brunello di Montalcino. A wine made of depth, rich but not heavy, balanced and renowned for its elegance and power.

The Marroneto The prized cru of the Madonna delle Grazie, makes a unique and high value Brunello di Montalcino, a reference for many in the industry. Alessandro Mori leads this label that is winning over more and more tasters and Sangiovese enthusiasts.

Poggio di Sotto A historic winery, for some years now part of the Bertarelli-Tipa constellation of Collemassari. Here we produce one of the most solid Brunellos, of great depth from a young age, which with ageing show a rare strength and harmony. The bottles of Rosso are also famous, competing in exquisiteness with those of Brunello.

Mastrojanni Winery Great wines from tradition, with prices that are certainly not easy to buy but which express the value of a Brunello di Montalcino that is reliable in terms of quality, even for the Rosso. Famous is the Schiena d'Asino, historical pearl of these vineyards.

Soldera Case Basse Mythical producer of selected Brunello, expensive, rare even in the taste that today has become more traditional than in the past. The 2001 and 2004 vintages are celebrated, making them a must for Brunello tasters at the highest level.

Biondi-Santi Brunello Di Montalcino: One Of The World’s Great Wine Estates And One With An Extraordinary History

by Ken Gargett

The annual doctors’ lunch (a bunch of friends who are mostly from the medical profession) was even more welcome this year as it was the first lunch with friends I’ve been able to attend in more than six months thanks to border closures and the ever-changing COVID-19 restrictions in Australia. I swear that tree stumps would look at some of our politicians and question evolution.

The lunch is always great fun and inevitably a cavalcade of wonderful wines. Doctors tend to be a competitive lot so there is always much good-natured jostling to have their contribution declared “wine of the day.” And as they don’t trust each other to be objective, I sometimes get the “honor” (?) of nominating the winner.

This year, a glorious bottle of 1989 Krug reigned supreme. Needless to say, there was more controversy than for a Formula 1 final race. I was seated between two champagne lovers, both very knowledgeable. Mine was poured and the server went to my right. The two of us looked at each other and just went “wow!” it was so good. Our glasses were long emptied by the time the poor server had managed to maneuver her way around the full table – it took her about 15 minutes.

Apparently, by that stage, the champagne had completely fallen flat. It can happen, although you’d expect it more from an older vintage. So despite the chorus of boos from those on my left, I was sticking to the decision.

There was, however, no argument about the “red of the day”: a glorious 2010 Biondi-Santi . A great vintage from one of Italy’s – and indeed the world’s – most famous wines, the one that is really responsible for the Brunello di Montalcino appellation.

Biondi-Santi and the Brunello di Montalcino appellation

Brunello  is a famous Tuscan region using 100 percent Sangiovese . Over the years, there have been some hiccups, but the region is now regarded as one of the finest in the world. It is in the province of Siena, south of Florence. The name Brunello came about as a diminutive of b runo (brown), the name given to the local grape.

Montalcino, Tuscany

Later, it was determined that this was the same as Sangiovese. The appellation was one of the very first in Italy to receive DOCG status, achieving the honor in 1980 (four appellations received the designation the same day). I will be looking at all this in more depth in the near future, but today the focus is on the great Biondi-Santi.

There are very few estates to which one can point and state categorically that this was the genesis for a distinct style and an entire wine region, but Biondi-Santi is one. It is well known that the Biondi-Santi family has been growing grapes and making wine in this region for the best part of two centuries.

Around 130 years ago, give or take, Ferruccio Biondi-Santi isolated the clone of the grape that would be the foundation for the region, a clone of Sangiovese: Sangiovese Grosso BBS11. Ferruccio’s grandfather, Clemente Santi, had won a couple of silver medals for his reds at an agricultural show in Montepulciano back in 1869 and also an award at the Universal Exposition in Paris for his 1865 red. Clemente’s daughter married Dr. Jacopo Biondi and their son, Ferruccio, took the hyphenated name that would later become so famous. Other sources suggest Ferruccio was Clemente’s nephew. It hardly matters now.

The tradition at the time was to vinify a range of varieties, including whites, together. Ferruccio decided to make his wine solely from this clone. And Brunello di Montalcino was born.

Fame was hardly instantaneous. The region was making a sweet Moscadello di Montalcino at the time and it was much more popular. Ferruccio was determined to make a red that could age and improve for many years.

Ferruccio was posthumously named “the inventor of Brunello” by an interministerial committee in 1932.

History of Biondi-Santi

Ferruccio Biondi-Santi, who passed away in 1917, was succeeded by his son Tancredi, who had studied oenology. Tancredi was subsequently named an ambassador for Montalcino and mentored many other winemakers in the district. He was effectively the original consultant oenologist in Italy.

Tancredi was famous for walling up many of the best vintages in the cellar at the onset of World War II to prevent them from being plundered by the Axis forces as they headed to the village. Among many, they saved a couple of bottles of the 1888, which the house still held. And apparently still does. The 1888 was the very first Brunello di Montalcino ever made. They last tasted it in 1994 and it was still in stunning form. The good news is that – and how extraordinary is this? – a couple of bottles still exist. The house also has some of the legendary 1891.

Franco took over in 1970, at which time the estate was a mere four hectares. He oversaw the expansion to 25 hectares. The estate covers five different parcels, which are blended together to create the final wine. Other sources have suggested 26 hectares over three sites, though five seems generally accepted.

There is a story that the wines were unknown in London until the famous 1955 was served at a dinner at Buckingham Palace in 1969, greatly impressing Her Majesty. It was so well received that demand skyrocketed, although production has always been tiny. The 1955 Riserva was so highly regarded that the American magazine W ine Spectator named it as the only Italian wine on its short list of the very greatest wines of the twentieth century.

Until the late 1960s, there was not another single serious producer of Brunello and no other commercial producer until after World War II. Now there are several hundred, but without the various generations of the Biondi-Santi family, who knows if there would even be a wine industry of note there. What is curious is that many have veered away from the elegant, age-worthy wines of the estate to richer, often noticeably oaked styles. These are certainly enjoyable wines, but they hardly resemble those from which they have descended.

There have also been suggestions of many producers to include “other varieties,” often international ones. This was a topic of fierce debate in the region, the Biondi-Santi family steadfast in its opposition to anything other than 100 percent Sangiovese. Franco was instrumental in fighting the good fight to retain Brunello as a 100 percent Sangiovese wine. He prevailed. On top of that, the Brunellogate scandal is a very sore subject and a topic for another day.

Biondi-Santi Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Greppo 2010

The “standard” wine from the estate is often known as Greppo. There is also a Rosso di Montalcino and, in the years deserving, a Riserva, usually no more than a maximum of 15,000 bottles. The “standard” is usually around three times that, with the Rosso around 20,000 bottles. A ballpark price of the Greppo is around €160 at the moment, though this will vary from country to country. The Riservas are likely to be several times that. The Riserva is not made in every vintage.

It is said that Franco would deliberately inflate the price of his favored vintages in an attempt to stop people buying them, happy to keep them in his cellars. He was known for saying that he wanted the wines he made to never be old enough for drinking.

The current vintage for the “standard” seems to be the 2015 and for the Riserva 2012, Franco’s last wine. It is only the 39 th Biondi-Santi Riserva since 1888; 2013 will follow it. There is word that the team is looking then at 2017. Given that both 2015 and most especially 2016 were such stunning vintages for Brunello (I’ll be looking more closely at 2016 shortly), it seems impossible to imagine that we won’t see Riservas for them – or perhaps they are simply a given, whereas 2017 requires more consideration. Time will tell.

Biondi-Santi today: Jacopo Biondi-Santi and sale of the estate to EPI

Generations of the Biondi-Santi family have run the estate known as Il Greppo. Sadly, Franco Biondi-Santi, grandson of Ferruccio, passed away in 2013 at the venerable age of 91, having inherited the estate in 1970. Franco’s son, Jacopo, took over. Things, however, were far from that simple. Franco and Jacopo had fallen out rather severely as far back as 1991, at which time Jacopo had left the business (apparently he still had a 23 percent share) and established his own winery, Tenuta Castello di Montepò in the Morellino di Scansano appellation in the Tuscan Maremma.

Shortly before Franco passed, Jacopo was quoted in an interview with English wine magazine Decanter suggesting his father was jealous of his success (when you run one of the world’s great wine estates, I am not all that certain why you would bother wasting time with jealousy elsewhere, so one wonders if this was simply said out of acrimony). Jacopo was quoted as saying, “My father’s very jealous . . . because I created a new name and he preserved only tradition. He created nothing else . . . he has prepared nothing. If he wants to sell, fine, I’m happy. I have my own wine. If he dies, I have to pay inheritance tax on the estate and on the trademark.” Christmas may have been strained.

Sadly, it seems Franco passed before the rift could be healed (one hopes that this is not so and certainly some stories now suggested by various descendants indicate that they were closer than we have been led to believe, although after his father’s passing Jacopo credited his grandfather with teaching him how to make wine rather than Franco).

This left Jacopo in control (he also continued to run his estate in Maremma). He was already in his sixties, but he undoubtedly knew what was at stake and has spoken about how he was prepared for the challenge his entire life. Fortunately, the 2013 vintage was a glorious one. Who knows what questions would have been raised had Jacopo’s first wine not reached stellar heights.

There have even been comparisons between the 2013 and the legendary 1955 (this may have been hyperbole strewn around in the aftermath of the new vintage and the ascension of Jacopo as with the best will in the world, ranking 2013 with 1955 seems a leap – 2012 perhaps?). Interestingly, large quantities of older vintages were sold off in 2013. Was this simply to raise funds? To erase the past? A touch of spite? The search for a clean slate? Those inconvenient inheritance taxes? Or did they simply get an offer they could not refuse? Who knows and it matters little today.

Jacopo was clearly intent on modernizing the estate, although he did not destroy all traditions, maintaining fermentation on native yeasts and the use of Slavonian oak casks in which the wines spend considerable time. He did, however, work to bring forth more complex characters and a deeper color in the wines. He moved from the oft-used hydraulic basket press to the more modern soft bladder press. Maceration periods were doubled to 25 days with the temperatures lowered slightly. Racking was increased.

While we will never be privy to decisions within the family, it was not long before the decision to sell the estate was made. This was shocking news at the time and reverberated around the wine world. It is believed that the inheritance laws in Italy played their role in forcing the sale.

Christopher Descours’ French group EPI had taken an interest in 2016 (as seems inevitable, dates vary, with 2017 quoted by some, but it was around this period, give or take a year or two), but then in 2019 Jacopo left the business completely. Finally, in 2020 his son Tancredi, who works with him in the Maremma business, sold his share and EPI became sole owner. Shocking, yes, but comfort was given by the knowledge that EPI is also the owner of Charles Heidsieck , one of the great champagne houses and one that has very much benefited from that ownership.

That is not EPI’s only winery or, indeed, champagne house. It also owns Piper-Heidsieck , another house very much on the improve, and Rare, the house hived off from Piper, which produces small quantities of a great prestige champagne. EPI also has interests in Luberon and the Rhône as well as various distribution businesses. Biondi-Santi will certainly not be its last wine acquisition.

Who knows what the future holds for Biondi-Santi, but under the new ownership I think we can be certain it will not disappoint. One early development is that the house is now bottling a percentage of production in large-format bottles for the first time. It has also implemented a ten-year plan for the restoration of the winery and vineyards. The restoration of older vintages, recorking, and topping up will continue.

Biondi-Santi might be one of the estates in the region where the Riserva really is a step up on the “standard.” It should be the case with all Brunello, but I am not certain it is always so. The style of Brunello just seems to work in its “normal” form. Riservas can sometimes seem overwrought and even a little tired. The delightful freshness of the “standard” Brunellos is a large part of their charm.

So what can one expect? The 2010 was in glorious form, but in all honesty a lunch among mates does not always provide the most optimal tasting conditions.

Expect these wines to age magnificently, perhaps better than any other Sangiovese on the planet. We are talking decades, not just years. These are not blockbuster wines. If massive Barossa Shiraz is your thing (and no reason it shouldn’t be), you might be a touch underwhelmed by Biondi-Santi. Expect austerity rather than richness. Elegance, balance, finesse, grace, class, and refinement. And, of course, ever-increasing complexity.

The “standard,” also called the Annata, is from vines – all estate, of course – that range between ten and 25 years in general. Fermentation is in concrete vats and then three years in Slavonian oak, followed by a further year in bottle. The Riserva comes from vines in excess of 25 years of age. Fermentation here is in Slavonian oak barrels, again for three years followed by a further two years in bottle before release. The estate would expect a good Riserva to be able to age well for up to 80 years, perhaps longer.

If all this sounds like it might be too hard – after all, who among us buys wines we plan on drinking at the turn of the next century? – be assured that their balance and finesse make these wines utterly approachable in their youth. They are pretty much drink-anytime wines.

Experts will argue which are the great vintages, which says to me that the decisions are being made by way of personal preference because the wines are simply good across the board. The 1891 has long been legendary, but if we are honest that is purely academic for almost all of us. The 1955 is another legend as has been mentioned; 1964 and 1971 are both revered. Another source named 2010, 2001, 2006, and 2004 in descending order of preference as recent great years. The 2012 is certainly universally admired; ’13 a little less so, but it has many supporters.

Flavors will vary but florals, cherries, tobacco leaf, brambles, spices, new leather, red fruits, and more are all likely to be present in varying degrees. There will be vibrant acidity to carry the wine.

Biondi-Santi is one of the world’s great wine estates, one with an extraordinary history. Without it, the Italian wine world would be very different. Now we can only hope the good doctors have a few more hidden in their cellars!

Updates from Montalcino’s Tenuta Biondi Santi

Monica larner.

• 30 Jan 2018 | News & Views

The iconic cypress-lined drive to Tenuta Greppo in Montalcino ushers you through a quiet and shady passageway onto the spiritual birthplace of Brunello di Montalcino, one of Italy’s most celebrated and historic wines.  This is the location of Tenuta Biondi Santi winery, previously owned by the very family credited with inventing the 100 percent Sangiovese-based wine in the late 1800s. Four generations ago, Ferruccio Biondi Santi produced what would become the first commercial bottling of oak-aged Brunello di Montalcino in 1888.  Today, Tenuta Biondi Santi is part of an important trend that is changing the landscape of this popular and profitable wine appellation. It is among the largest—and definitely the most symbolic—of Montalcino’s wine estates to pass from Italian family ownership to foreign investors. Other recent acquisitions to non-Italian buyers include La Cerbaiona (sold to American venture capitalist Gary Rieschel), Podere Salicutti (now owned by a German restaurant entrepreneur), Podere Brizio (sold to Argentinian business Alejandro Bulgheroni) and Poggio Antico (bought by Belgium’s Atlas Invest). 

In late 2016, the Biondi Santi family signed a partnership deal with France’s luxury goods firm Européenne de Participations Industrielles (EPI) for a majority stake. According to the Italian financial daily, Il Sole 24 Ore , the deal was valued at 107 million euros. It includes the brand, the Tenuta Greppo property and 26 hectares of Sangiovese vines. The total property includes 47 hectares of land at Il Greppo and 105 hectares in Pieri. Annual production is 60,000 to 80,000 bottles depending on the vintage. The Paris-based EPI holding company is owned by Christopher Descours. The group owns the Charles and Piper-Heidsieck Champagne labels (and Piper Sonoma in the USA). The Descours family also owns Château La Verrerie in Lubéron area of the Rhône Valley.  Following the death of Franco Biondi Santi at the age of 91 in 2013, the business passed onto his son Jacopo Biondi Santi and other heirs (Jacopo’s mother and his sister). Jacopo remains active at the estate as does his son, Tancredi, who is becoming the new face of the Tenuta. Although I was not independently able to confirm this myself, the Italian daily La Repubblica reports that Jacopo Biondi Santi has maintained a 7.99 percent stake in Tenuta Biondi Santi Spa.  The Chief Executive Officer is Olivier Adnot who was born in Champagne and would later become winemaker and director of Château La Verrerie. 

I visited with Olivier Adnot and Tancredi Biondi Santi in mid-January to get a better sense of the strategy for the future. When you speak to members of the Montalcino wine community, a common fear expressed is that the new French ownership will disrupt the Biondi Santi production philosophy that is so firmly rooted in local tradition. Both men assured me that this is not the case.  “We don’t want to change tradition,” Tancredi tells me. “We want to keep the Brunello exactly the way it is but we can also improve.”  Olivier says four million euros will be invested in Tenuta Biondi Santi over the next two to three years. “We will invest in technology, but we don’t want to make a technological wine,” he says.  The winery purchased an optical sorter for selecting the best berries after harvest. Stringent fruit selection will consist of manual selection in the vineyards, followed by post-destemming selection on a vibrating table, and the optical sorter as a last step. More static pumps will be purchased and technology for automatic temperature control. The winery will be renovated to optimize storage and bottle stacking. Two of the large oak casks will be replaced with smaller botte from manufacturer Garbellotto. “The idea is to move towards micro vinification,” says Tancredi. 

Some replanting work will also take place in the vineyards, famously planted to the BBS11 Sangiovese clone. The estate’s oldest vineyards were planted in 1936 (that fruit usually goes to the Riserva). Tancredi’s grandfather Franco Biondi Santi completed significant replanting work in 2006 and 2007. Some 14 of the estate’s total 26 hectares are located just outside the winery perimeter at Tenuta Greppo. This area will be the focus of significant replanting efforts.  “We don’t want to think of the estate in terms of total surface area, but rather in terms of individual vines,” Olivier tells me: “Each plant is precious and we can optimize quality by being more precise.” Another big change will be the late release of the Brunello di Montalcino Annata. Brunello is usually released five years after the harvest. Tenuta Biondi Santi will now wait six years instead. The 2013 Brunello di Montalcino will be released in January 2019. The estate will continue to sell the 2012 Brunello di Montalcino that is on the market now.  “We want to give more pleasure to our customers,” says Olivier: “Brunello needs to age and that’s the message we want to send.”  The Rosso di Montalcino Fascia Rosso (the so-called red banner special bottling) will be discontinued. Olivier says it caused too much confusion in the marketplace. Only produced four times in the estate’s history—in vintages 1989, 1992, 2002 and 2014—the Rosso di Montalcino Fascia Rosso with the red banner across the front label indicated that all fruit from the estate was downgraded to Rosso status (and no Brunello was made). The Fascia Rosso was cleverly started by Franco Biondi Santi to indicate a higher quality Rosso di Montalcino in what could be considered a bad vintage for Brunello. Even through the Fascia Rosso will be discontinued, the regular Rosso di Montalcino will continue to be produced as before.  In terms of the top-shelf production, Tenuta Biondi Santi has created a vintage pairing package in which the newest release is sold to certain clients along with an older vintage. The current 2011 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva has been paired with the 1997 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva. “We wanted to tell the story of two vintages,” says Tancredi. “The pairing represents opposite choices. The 2011 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva was bottled recently but it has a different structure and concentration next to the beautifully evolved 1997 vintage.” 

Important personnel changes are also underway at Tenuta Biondi Santi. The new Commercial Director is Giovanni Lai who has worked at Falesco and Tenute del Cerro in the past. The estate is now imported by Wilson Daniels in the United States.  My upcoming reviews from Biondi Santi will be published in Issue 235 at the end of February. Only the Biondi Santi 2015 Rosso di Montalcino was reviewed because that is the only new release to date. That wine will be released in June. At the moment, the current releases remain the 2012 Brunello di Montalcino Annata and the 2011 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva.

It is a rare phenomenon that a wine can trace its origins to a single man. Brunello di Montalcino, however, owes its existence to Ferruccio Biondi-Santi and its fame to his family. Now on the seventh generation of winemakers, the Biondi-Santi family continues to produce wines renowned for their elegance and extraordinary longevity. Located in the heart of Montalcino, the Tenuta Greppo estate spreads over 25 hectares of vines on soils rich in heavy stones and marl – perfect for the cultivation of Sangiovese Grosso. Defenders of a rich enological heritage, the family continues to employ traditional vinicultural methods started well over a century ago to highlight the wine’s unique characteristics, or tipicita .

Starting in the mid-1800s, Clemente Santi, a renowned writer and scientist, recognized the quality of the vineyards and viticulture at Il Greppo. Long before it became standard practice, Clemente chose to focus on red wines suitable for aging, creating racking and barrel-aging practices far more advanced than his peers’. Clemente’s innovative winemaking earned him considerable recognition, including an award for his “select red wine (Brunello) 1865” at the 1867 Universal Exposition in Paris.

Following in the footsteps of his grandfather, Ferruccio Biondi continued to experiment in the vineyards. In fact, Ferruccio took such pride in the work his grandfather did, he united the two family names and became Ferruccio Biondi-Santi. Ferruccio worked diligently to combat the challenges posed by oidium and phylloxera. He used the work he had already begun on massal selection and identifying mother vines to his advantage, grafting only the best clones on American rootstock and replanting his vineyard with the offspring of the mother clones – propagating what would eventually become the Brunello Biondi-Santi, or BBS 11, clone. Ferruccio also made the bold decision to bottle a 100 percent Sangiovese wine, focusing, like Clemente did before him, on ageworthiness rather than quick profits. With this, the birth of modern-day Brunello di Montalcino began.

After Ferruccio’s death in 1917, his son Tancredi Biondi-Santi continued the line of succession and carried on the family tradition with meticulous care. He looked to the past to secure the future, laying away older vintages in the cellar. He even made the crucial call to secretly wall-up part of his cellar prior to World War II, concealing the oldest Riservas from the Front. In doing so, Biondi-Santi was eventually able to show the world how long-lived and complex Brunello could be. In 1966, Brunello di Montalcino became a DOC and the Italian government turned to Tancredi to assist in writing the regulations.

Tancredi brought the winery to new heights, but it was his son Franco who helped show the world what they could do. Franco traveled far and wide, promoting the wines and showing the power of the old Riservas. The reputation of the wines was only boosted in 1980 when Brunello di Montalcino became the first DOCG in Italy.

Franco expanded Il Greppo from 4 acres to 25, but continued to be a staunch believer in traditional viniculture. Today, Franco’s son, Jacopo, and his son, Tancredi, represent the sixth and seventh generations carrying on the family legacy.

The Drinks Business

Why biondi-santi’s evolution begins in the vineyard.

During a visit to London earlier this week, Biondi-Santi CEO Giampiero Bertolini shared how the famed Brunello di Montalcino producer has adapted to survive and thrive.

Biondi-Santi is widely credited as the “founder” of Brunello di Montalcino, the famed wines made from Sangiovese grown in the area of the town of Montalcino in southern Tuscany.

Bertolini began by giving a brief lesson on the company’s history, noting how Clemente Santi began trying to create age-worthy, single varietal wines in the mid-19th century.

His grandson, Ferruccio Biondi-Santi, would continue this work, as Bertolini explained: “His wines had a high reputation, because he was packaging Sangiovese in a Bordelaise bottle, not a fiasco, as was traditional in Tuscany.”

In 1888, the first bottle to carry the name ‘Brunello di Montalcino Biondi-Santi Tenuta Greppo’ was unveiled.

“I like to remember two other members of the family too,” Bertolini explained. “Tancredi, Feruccio’s son, who was an incredible winemaker and consultant to estates across Italy. He became famous because in 1967 he drew up the specifications for Brunello di Montalcino when the DOC was created. That was a recognition of the family’s ability to produce high quality wine in a very specific way.”

“Tancredi also protected all of our riservas during the Second World War when the Germans invaded by walling them up in the cellar. Today we still have all the riservas since 1888 thanks to Tancredi.”

The other family member Bertolini singled out was Franco, Tancredi’s son: “Franco was a great man, a real technician – he was more austere than his father. During the 1970s, he introduced clonal selection, and would identify one specific clone from the estate, BBS11 [Brunello Biondi Santi 11]. Today we are still using this clone – it makes up about 60% of the vineyards.”

Franco’s son Jacopo, would sell Biondi-Santi to Christofer Descours, who runs EPI Group which also owns (among others) Charles Heidsieck Champagne, Piper-Heidsieck Champagne, Rare Champagne and has a minority stake in Biondi-Santi’s importer Liberty Wines, in late 2016.

While no members of the Biondi-Santi family are currently involved with the winery, Bertolini, who worked at Tuscan wine giant Frescobaldi until 2018, suggested that “the DNA” was still very much in how it operates, as many of the technicians in the vineyards and winery working there today were present before the sale.

Bertolini expressed his belief that since Biondi-Santi changed owners, the focus has shifted to “preparing for the future”.

As Bertolini revealed, those preparations have been primarily in the vineyard.

Understanding the soils across the 33 hectares of the estate’s vineyards has been key. In 2019, Chilean terroir aficionado Pedro Parra paid a visit to Biondi-Santi. Parra was eager to get beneath the surface, quite literally, and discover what sets one of Italy’s most revered producers apart: “He dug 33 big pits, and discovered a huge heterogeneity in the soils.”

These soil types ranged from marly schists in the eastern I Pieri vineyard to those with more clay content in the lower-lying northern site of Pievecchia.

“After that study, we have isolated 12 different parcels,” Bertolini explained. “The purpose is to really improve the quality by having more ingredients for the blending of Sangiovese.”

Soil parcellation isn’t the only variable that Biondi-Santi is experimenting with. Considering that some of the vines at Tenuta Greppo date back to the 1930s, it is not surprise that there would be some clonal variation, but a study by the University of Florence uncovered the presence of some 50 Sangiovese clones on the estate. 20 of these were then selected and are being studied on further, particular to see how they react to the rising temperatures caused by global warming. One downside to the research is that it has meant that the family tennis court has now been repurposed as a vine nursery.

“In the past, they used just one clone [BBS11] – in the future we plan to have a recipe of different clones that go into Biondi-Santi,” Bertolini shared.

When Bertolini joined Biondi-Santi five year ago, he also encouraged the replanting of 7ha of vineyard to facilitate the introduction of a new, specialised trellising system of movable horizontal bars with wires that support a luscious canopy: “This flexible structure allows the vines to grow like an umbrella, which protects the grapes from the sun and allows the wind to blow through and ventilate the bunches.”

The two words that repeatedly cropped up when it came to challenges in the vineyard were “climate change”, the topic that continues to dominate discussions about the long-term viability of the wine industry.

Though planting at higher, cooler altitudes can help preserve freshness (Tenuta Greppo is 560 metres above sea level), rising temperatures don’t just mean riper-flavoured wines with higher ABV, they also mean less ageing potential: “In warmer vintages, the quality compresses and the wine does not have the longevity”. This echoed what Barbara Sandrone told db recently about Barolo .

However, though warmer vintages, such as the 2017 Brunello di Montalcino (“a difficult, dry, very hot vintage,” in Bertolini’s words) may not have quite the same lifespan as cooler ones, Bertolini still estimated an impressive ageing potential of 20-25 years, as opposed to a “normal” year which might be good for closer to 50.

As for how much work goes into maintaining the vines, from pruning all the way to picking, Bertolini proudly declared: “Today, we spend more than 600 man hours per hectare per year in the vineyard. The average in Tuscany is 250 hours.”

However, Bertolini, pointing to the heavens, acknowledged that human efforts are not the decisive factor vintage to vintage: “The shareholder up there decides our lives every year!”

Changes have also taken place in the cellar too. Slightly smaller Slavonian oak barrels, still made by Garbellotto, are now used so that each parcel can be aged separately. Since 2021, due to the ageing advantages of larger formats, Magnums for the new Brunello di Montalcino vintages, and Magnums, Jeroboams and Methuselahs for new Riserva vintages have been produced.

“You cannot keep doing the same things you did in the past,” Bertolini stated. “You need evolution, not revolution – we have to keep this DNA.”

David Gleave MW, managing director of Biondi-Santi’s importer Liberty Wines, remarked that this philosophy was rather similar to that espoused by Tancredi in Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa’s The Leopard : “Everything must change for everything to remain the same.”

Biondi-Santi - The Epicentre Of The Iconic Brunello di Montalcino

Biondi-Santi is the winery where dedication, Sangiovese love, marketing, and future space travel are wonderfully intertwined. Read about the creator of Brunello di Montalcino.

Italian Tuscany is undoubtedly one of the world's most prestigious areas for the immense art of winemaking. In Tuscany you will stumble across olive groves and vineyards, and beautiful cypress avenues welcome visitors to the unique wine mecca. Val d'Orcia is one of the most beautiful gems in Tuscany - so beautiful that in 2004 the area was recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A historic town in Dal d'Orcia is Montalcino, which is undeniably a more than significant part of Tuscany's amazing wine narrative.

Montalcino, with its 16th-century surrounding wall, is in many ways a symbol of Italy's past. Churches, labyrinthine streets, and a distinctive bell tower tell the Italian story - a story filled with wine.

The Montalcino hilltop has been producing wine for hundreds of years, and in the heart of Montalcino, Tenuta Greppo is home to Biondi-Santi. Here, wines of the Sangiovese Grosso BBS 11 clone are produced from 25 hectares of vineyards. Indeed, Biondi-Santi has managed to stand out and has long since proven its place on the world's wonderful wine scene. Biondi-Santi - creator of the iconic Brunello di Montalcino.

Today, the top Italian wine is Brunello di Montalcino, along with Barolo, Bolgheri, and Barbaresco. But in the 1850s, the wine situation in Italy was significantly different. Read Biondi-Santi's wondrous story here.

Clemente Santi Placed Sangiovese On The Agenda

It is extremely rare that the origin of a wine can be traced back to a single man. However, this is the case with Brunello di Montalcino, which was created by Clemente Santi with the expert assistance of his grandson Ferruccio Biondi.

In 1865 Clemente began experimenting with the Sangiovese grape on his Tuscan estate Il Greppo. At that time, Moscato was the most widely used grape in Montalcino. Wine was not a luxury item in Italy in the 1850s - wine was an agricultural product and was looked upon as a healthier alternative to water. Wine was made throughout most of Italy, and these wines were made to be drunk throughout the year until the next harvest was in place.

Clemente was a chemist, and he had great ambitions to produce long-lasting wines with development potential. Therefore, he dedicated himself to Sangiovese and worked with different clones of the grape as well as different barrels in the cellar.

The first vintage in 1865 had brownish hues, so Clemente decided to call it "Brunello", as a reference to the colour brown (bruno), and at the Paris Exhibition in 1867 the wine was noted precisely for its beautiful brown colour. Clemente Santi put Sangiovese on the agenda, and fortunately his grandson Ferruccio picked up on that agenda.

Dr. Ferruccio Biondi Santi From Montalcino - The Creator Of Brunello

Ferruccio Biondi, like his grandfather, was very passionate about Sangiovese, and so he continued to experiment in the vineyards. He worked diligently to identify parent vines, then grafted the best clones onto American rootstocks. At the end of this process, he replanted his vineyard with the progeny of the parent clones and propagated what would later become the Brunello Biondi-Santi clone BBS 11.

Ferruccio focused on creating a Sangiovese clone that could withstand the Phylloxera vine aphid, which unfortunately dominated and ravaged the area. He succeeded.

This resulted in the identification of a superior Sangiovese clone, which was highly resistant to plant diseases. He also managed to stay true to his grandfather's vision of focusing on durability rather than quick profit, and the decision to bottle a 100 % Sangiovese wine was both bold and unprecedented. Ferruccio built on his grandfather's genius and can be credited with the first two vintages of Biondi-Santi Brunello di Montalcino - 1888 and 1891.

It was Ferruccio, moreover, who united the two family names, and it was he who decided that the Sangiovese wine should be called Brunello di Montalcino, and no Brunello producer has managed to achieve the same high level. Ferruccio's vision was highly revolutionary for its time, and in 1932 the Italian Ministry of Agriculture officially recognised Ferruccio Biondi Santi as the inventor of Brunello di Montalcino.

With Tancredi Came The Rise Of Brunello

Clemente and Ferruccio created a solid and revolutionary foundation on which Tancredi Biondi Santi could gain a solid base and continue the Brunello mission. For in 1893 Ferrucio had a son named Tancredi, and he would go on to play a very important role in bringing Brunello to a wider audience.

Tancredi grew up among vines and in 1922 he took over Biondi-Santi from his father. Above all, Tancredi was an eminent winemaker, and in 1927 he developed the Biondi-Santi topping-up technique (filling the empty air space at the top of the wine bottle), which he applied to the estate's historic wines to ensure their preservation.

Besides being a formidable winemaker, Tancredi also understood the importance of cohesion with product and marketing. Biondi-Santi never patented the Brunello di Montalcino brand, purely because they did not want to restrict others from making Brunello. This, of course, led to more and more people becoming aware of Brunello, and therefore Biondi-Santi.

Furthermore, in 1969, the President of the Italian Republic, Saragat, wanted six bottles of 1955 Brunello di Montalcino to serve to a young Queen Elizabeth, prompting massive Biondi-Santi publicity. Tancredi is therefore often described as the most significant cause of Biondi-Santi and Brunello's worldwide fame.

Franco Maintained The Traditions Created By His Ancestors

”Nature is capable of creating great things, you just have to know how to wait”

– Franco Biondi Santi

Having a grandfather who invented the Brunello and a father who introduced it to the market seriously makes a man feel obliged. Tancredi's son Franco Biondi Santi became gatekeeper of Biondi-Santi in 1970, and his mission was to keep the traditions, create wines for the future and fight for the authenticity and integrity of Brunello di Montalcino. Franco was both reverent and thorough. So thorough, in fact, that he was a member of the Florentine scientific society Accademia dei Georgofili. Here his opinions were deeply respected.

Under Franco's leadership of Biondi-Santi, there were several events that further sharpened the focus on the house. In 1988, for example, he served a bottle of 1888 Brunello Biondi-Santi Riserva to Italian President Francesco Cossiga, which naturally attracted attention. Furthermore, in 1994, Franco organised a much-publicised press tasting of Brunello Riserva from 1888 to 1988 to mark Brunello's 100th anniversary.

Traditionally, Franco's son Jacopo was to take over Biondi-Santi, but for unknown reasons there was a disagreement between the two, and Jacopo partially left the house and started Montepò instead. Jacopo's son Tancredi was therefore supposed to continue managing Biondi-Santi, but he too decided to leave the family business in part to help his father. At Franco's death in 2013, there was therefore no fully dedicated helmsman to take up the Brunello baton.

EPI Group Neatly Picks Up The Family Baton

In 2017, Christopher Descours from the private investment firm EPI Group acquired a large stake in Biondi-Santi - albeit with both Jacobi and Tancredi on board. In 2019, however, Jacobi decided to leave Biondi-Santi for good, and in 2020 Tancredi followed suit. The family is therefore no longer involved at Biondi-Santi, but there is no slackening in quality for that reason.

EPI has extensive experience in marketing luxury brands and is in fact also behind strong names such as Piper-Heidsieck, Charles Heidsieck & Rare Champagne, Sogrape from Portugal and most recently Isole e Olena from Chianti Classico, all of which have benefited greatly from competent ownership.

The EPI group chose to continue with the winemakers Federico Radi in the cellar and vineyard. With EPI at the helm, one thing is certain: Marketing and distribution will be a priority, and these focal points obviously require a product of the highest quality. Small but significant changes have been introduced, making the wines slightly more accessible in their youth, though still maintaining the traditional production of Brunello di Montalcino. And based on the ratings of the top wine critics, the level of the future only seems to be rising.

Brunello di Montalcino: The Rules

There are a number of rules that have to be respected before a wine can even be called Brunello. A Brunello is made from Sangiovese from Montalcino's 1,200 hectares of planted vines. According to the rules, a maximum of 52 hectoliters per hectare can be produced. Furthermore, there are also rules on when a Brunello can be released on the market - it can be on 1 January five years after the harvest.

During the five-year period, two of these must be spent in wooden barrels, and four months must be spent in bottle before release. A Riserva may not be released until six years after the harvest and must age for at least six months in bottle.

At Biondi-Santi, the procedure for making Brunello has not changed for more than 100 years. The vineyards are cultivated with great respect for nature, without the use of chemicals. Only one pure Sangiovese clone is used (BBS 11) and the wine is still aged in part in the same large barrels Ferruccio acquired over 100 years ago.

In 1980 Brunello di Montalcino was elevated to the highest classification in Italy with DOCG (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita), for which the area in many ways owes a debt to Biondi-Santi. By this time the number of producers had increased from one with Biondi-Santi in the period from 1865 to 1945 to now 53 registered producers.

Several of these had ambitions to change the way Brunello di Montalcino is made, and over the years small barrels, modified fermentation methods and new grape varieties have been tried. Even with Federico Radi's small changes, however, Biondi-Santi faithfully adheres to the method Ferruccio introduced 100 years ago.

The Three Gems From Biondi-Santi

Today, Biondi-Santi produces three red wines from their own clone of Sangiovese, called BBS 11, which stands for Brunello Biondi-Santi Vine 11. In 1970, Franco Biondi Santi collaborated with Professors Casini and Bandinelli of the Arboreal Cultivation Institute at the University of Florence on a clonal selection of Ferruccio's old Greppo vines. After five harvests, several Sangiovese clones were selected, but the one officially entered in the EU register was BBS 11. It was included in the official list of Sangiovese clones in 1978 and is the first to bear the name of its owner.

From this Sangiovese Grosso BBS 11 clone emerges the historic Riserva Brunello di Montalcino, the classic Brunello di Montalcino and a fine Rosso di Montalcino.

Rosso di Montalcino

Biondi Santis Rosso di Montalcino has always been a special wine for the house. It was created with the desire to make a red wine that reflects the characteristic style found in Biondi-Santis vineyards. It was originally known as White Label Brunello di Montalcino by Biondi-Santi until 1983, when Rosso di Montalcino became the definitive name.

Rosso is produced from the youngest vines in the house, and today it is aged for a shorter time than the Brunello di Montalcino - only 12 months in large barrels. This is to preserve more immediate fruit in the wine, making it enjoyable even at a young age. Rosso di Montalcino is a high-level wine, and it deservedly competes with other houses' Brunello di Montalcino in complexity and depth.

The Flagship - Brunello di Montalcino

Brunello di Montalcino Annata is the flagship wine of Biondi-Santi - it is the pride of the family put into bottles. This is the wine that captures the essence of more than 150 years of hard and dedicated work in one bottle. The wine is fermented in cement tanks before being aged for three years in large old Slavonian oak barrels. This Brunello develops beautifully with long aging in bottle.

It is produced using the same method as the Riserva - the only difference is that the hand-picked grapes come from vines that are between 10 and 25 years old. This is the age at which vines usually perform optimally in terms of both quantity and quality. In the years when Biondi-Santi does not choose to produce Riserva, the grapes from the old vines also go into this wine.

Biondi-Santi Brunello di Montalcino comes on the market in most vintages. The vintages where the weather does not behave, the wine is not released.

"It's a matter of seriousness, which is part of our history, when the vintage goes wrong, we do not make Brunello di Montalcino”, Jacopo Biondi

2014 is the last time the house chose not to release a Brunello di Montalcino - it has previously happened in both 2002 and 1989. Normally, 2/3 of the grapes go to the Brunello of the house, and the last third is divided between the Rosso and the Riserva of the house. In the three vintages where the quality has not been good enough for Brunello, Biondi-Santi has used them instead for their Rosso.

Brunello di Montalcino Riserva

Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is the wine that has historically characterized the winery and has only been produced in the 41 best vintages since the historic 1888 vintage. The grapes come from the oldest vines on the estate, all over 25 years old. The wine is aged for three years in large old slavic oak barrels - in previous vintages the wine was aged for up to four years in these old barrels. Some of the barrels are more than 100 years old, as the view at Biondi-Santi is that the wine does not need the flavours that new wooden barrels can add.

Biondi-Santis Riserva is one of the great icons of the wine world, which is why it is also celebrated in style at the house, the years the grapes have the quality that a Riserva requires. Biondi-Santi believes that the Riserva is a gift from Mother Earth, and this is certainly worthy of celebration. Kept in optimal conditions, a Biondi-Santi Riserva has an almost infinite life. For example, the family enjoyed a bottle in 1891 to celebrate Franco Biondi Santi's 60th wedding anniversary.

In 1999, the 1995 Brunello di Montalcino Biondi-Santi Riserva was named by Wine Spector as one of the 12 best wines of the 20th century. In 2008, the 2001 Riserva was ranked in the top-3 of Decanter's list of the 50 best Italian wines, and in 2011 the 1964 Riserva received the Bibenda 2012 award from The Italian Association of Sommeliers as the best wine in Italy's history.

Wine Library La Storica

Deep in the cellar far from humanity below Tenuta Greppo is La Storica, which is Biondi-Santi's wine library. A library where a library card is unlikely to be accepted. La Storica is in fact Biondi-Santi's own library, where they keep their reserves and where Riserva from all vintages can be found. It is an intimate place where the bottles are neatly stacked and divided by vintage. Besides beeswax, which seals the cork and minimizes oxidation, the bottles are completely bare.

It is from La Storica that Biondi-Santi finds the bottles to top it off. Several of the old bottles have been re-corked and topped up with the same vintage. A cork can only last for about 30 years, after which there is a great danger of it crumbling and thus spoiling the wine. A wine is therefore re-corked in order to keep it in optimal condition - and thus achieve utopian immortality.

It is rare that a Riserva is released from a stay at La Storica. When it does, the otherwise bare bottle is given a label with the vintage designation and the numbered neck label called "La Lunetta". Furthermore, the date of departure is handwritten on the label on the back of the bottle. If a Riserva has been topped up or recorked, a special certificate accompanies the bottle - to indicate that the procedure has taken place.

The Future: Biondi-Santi In Space

Although the Biondi Santi family is no longer present in Biondi-Santi, the traditional production of Brunello is maintained, although small adjustments are made. Adjustments that seem to pay off and result in wines that reap great reception from critics and wine romantics alike. Today, Biondi-Santi is widely recognized among the very best wines from Italy.

And while constantly striving to deliver high quality Brunello, there are also other exciting developments going on at Biondi-Santi.

Biondi-Santi is one of three wineries collaborating with The Italian Space Agency and The Italy Sommelier Foundation (FIS) on a project to study the ageing process of wine and the ability of vine plants to produce crops in space. This means that a selection of vines and wine bottles from the three participating wineries will spend a period of 2-3 years in space aboard the International Space Station (ISS). When they return to Earth, they will be compared with samples that stayed on Earth.

The Italian Space Agency is leading research on the effects of lack of gravity on crops, and this will be the first time they study wine and grapes. Indeed, previous similar experiments with gravity have shown that cuttings are more resistant to parasite attack and the effects of climate change if they have been exposed to some kind of shock, such as loss of gravity.

Similar projects have been executed before by Space Cargo Unlimited in collaboration with 2000 Petrus and 320 vines, which were in space for 14 months. Biondi-Santi is sending the 2006 and 2015 Brunello di Montalcino vintages into space - when the project will take place is still uncertain. It is also uncertain whether Clemente, Tancredi, Ferruccio and Franco would have approved of the space idea... What is certain, however, is that Biondi-Santi is both traditional and forward-looking.
