    Biondi Santi: The Birthplace of Brunello

    This is a pilgrimage. In 1888, Ferruccio Biondi-Santi bottled the FIRST Brunello di Montalcino here at Tenuta Greppo. The 1869 certificate hanging in the brick-vaulted tasting room is the first documented mention of 'Brunello' anywhere. His grandson Franco walled up precious vintages to hide them from Nazi plunderers in 1944 - they opened them decades later and the wines were still alive. The 1955 Riserva was served to Queen Elizabeth II at the Italian Embassy in London. This isn't a winery. It's hallowed ground.
