This esteemed winery, spanning across an impressive 104 hectares, truly reflects the rich history and the exquisite beauty of Italy's elegant countryside.

The Biondi-Santi family, the founders of this glorious winery, are known for their significant contribution in revolutionizing the Italian wine industry in the latter part of the 19th century. They are credited for inventing the Brunello di Montalcino, a precious wine that echoes the vibrancy of the Sangiovese grape variety, which forms the heart of Tuscan wine culture.

The estate itself is a testament to the timeless elegance of traditional Italian architecture. The vineyards stretch across 25 hectares, speckled with grapevines carefully trained on low trellises in perfect rows and columns. The ancient vines imbue a sense of serenity and beauty, contrasting with the modernity of precision-controlled wine production technology within the cellars.

Unique to Biondi-Santi Tenuta Greppo is the consistent commitment to quality. Each vine is attended with meticulous care, ensuring the production of the most luscious and vibrant grapes. The estate is also environmentally conscious, upholding sustainable farming practices that protect the delicate ecosystem of the region.

The winery's cellars are an impressive spectacle. Lined with rows of barrels made from Slavonian Oak, the cellars are a paradise for wine aficionados. It is here that the legendary Brunello di Montalcino ages, majestically acquiring its signature depth and complexity of flavor.

Visitors to Biondi-Santi Tenuta Greppo are not only treated to tours around the fascinating vineyard and cellars but also to a grand tasting session in the luxurious tasting room. Here, guests can immerse themselves in the complex flavors of the estate's prestigious wines, complemented with a finely curated selection of local cheeses and cured meats.
