The estate works its own proprietary BBS11 clone of Sangiovese, grown in the clay-limestone soils around Il Greppo, and ages the wine slowly in large Slavonian oak botti rather than small barriques — a traditional approach that preserves fruit purity and underpins Biondi-Santi's legendary capacity to age for decades. Alcohol typically sits around 13.5-14%.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the nose, violet, dog rose, wild berry, dried cherry and a lift of dark culinary spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the palate it is structured and vibrant: red cherry, pomegranate, licorice, black tea and a fine, savory tannin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe finish is long and mineral, closing on forest floor, balsamic and a slow floral echo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat sets Il Greppo apart from the flood of modern Montalcino is restraint — no new-oak gloss, no early drinkability chased at the expense of longevity.
