Potential to stay much longer.

Renowned for its extraordinary longevity, here is a beautiful 2004 Riserva from the historical Biondi-Santi made exclusively from grapes from the oldest vines (over 25 years old). Aged in Slavonian oak barrels for 3 years followed by a long period of bottle-aging in the quiet and darkness of "La Storica", the bottle library at Tenuta Greppo. This splendid Brunello boasts a red-fruited profile, with floral and mineral complexity.
