The Brunello di Montalcino Greppo Annata 1975 from Biondi-Santi is considered one of the most legendary vintages from this tradition-rich winery and a prime example of the longevity and elegance of great Sangiovese wines. On the nose, the wine displays fascinating maturity with aromas of dried cherries, leather, tobacco, and a hint of undergrowth and tar. Despite its age, it presents itself astonishingly lively on the palate, with a firm yet fine tannin structure, a still-perceptible acidity, and a deep, complex flavor that continually evolves with exposure to air. Notes of black cherries, dried herbs, rose petals, and blackcurrants are evident. The Brunello di Montalcino Greppo Riserva 1975 from Biondi-Santi is a milestone in Tuscan wine culture and an icon of the traditional Brunello style. This Riserva, vinified exclusively in outstanding vintages and from the winery's oldest vineyards, is in impressive form in the 1975 vintage. On the nose, the wine unfolds a profound aroma, characterized by ripe, dark cherries, dried violets, tar, leather, cedarwood, and a hint of balsamic notes. On the palate, it is powerful yet aristocratically refined, with taut acidity, silky-ripe tannins, and a vibrant structure that has lost none of its tension despite its age. The Riserva 1975 is complex, layered, and persistent, with a long, almost meditative finish that combines earthiness, spice, and a hint of minerality. This wine exemplifies the ability of great Brunelli wines to age for decades and achieve expressiveness—an authentic, timeless interpretation of Sangiovese Grosso, the kind only Biondi-Santi can deliver. A silent giant that inspires humility.
