Parker about Brunello di Montalcino Greppo Annata 2003
From a scorching hot vintage, the 2003 Brunello di Montalcino has held up beautifully, tasted now more than a decade after its commercial release. The wine shows some tertiary definition that adds to its character and complexity. You get subtle hints of caramel and exotic spice over dried blackberry and fig. The heat of the vintage can be identified in terms of mouthfeel, where the wine delivers a loosely knit textural core with polished, silky tannins. But that trademark acidity is there, and that remains the secret of the wine's impressive longevity.

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.
