Parker about Brunello di Montalcino Greppo Annata 2001
The medium-red 2001 Brunello di Montalcino is an austere wine that seems to be built for tertiary development rather than for an expression of fruit. It is a medium-bodied yet structured Brunello with a modest, compressed core of red fruit, licorice and menthol flavors, displaying good overall length. Although several hours of air helped, this wine never became particularly expressive over the week I followed it.

Biondi-Santi Brunello di Montalcino Greppo Annata
It's rare that a wine's origins can be traced back to a single man. However, Brunello di Montalcino owes its existence to the ingenuity of Clemente Santi and his nephew Ferruccio Biondi-Santi, who began vinifying pure Sangiovese Grosso in Montalcino in the 1900s.
Since 1888, the first Brunello vintage in history, Biondi-Santi has produced wines known for their elegance and exceptional longevity.
