Descrizione

Jacopo Biondi Santi’s Morellino di Scansano DOCG expresses the identity of Tuscany’s Maremma through a protected designation dedicated to red wines from the Scansano area. The production rules require at least 85% Sangiovese, Tuscany’s emblematic grape variety, with the possible addition of other authorised red grapes. The result is a red wine designed to highlight the character of the territory and the distinctive expression of Sangiovese.

Bearing the Biondi Santi name, it is an appealing choice for anyone wishing to discover an elegant, terroir-driven interpretation of Morellino. Its versatility makes it suitable for everyday dining and convivial occasions, pairing naturally with savoury pasta dishes, meat, cured meats and specialities from Tuscan cuisine. A distinctive label that brings the charm of the Tuscan coast and the winemaking tradition of one of Maremma’s most representative areas to the glass.

Winery history

The family's connection to the Il Greppo estate is documented from the 19th century: the first experiments with wines made exclusively from Sangiovese are attributable to members of the Santi family, while the modern Brunello di Montalcino is commonly attributed to Ferruccio Biondi-Santi, with the first documented version dating to 1888. Throughout the 20th century, family ownership and management consolidated the winery's reputation.

Production philosophy

Focus on traditional practices and a commitment to longevity: production exclusively from Sangiovese Grosso, with fermentations and extended aging in casks and in bottle to produce wines suited to aging. The estate pays careful attention to grape selection and vineyard management to preserve the wine’s sense of place.

Terroir and vineyards

Tenuta Il Greppo is located in the municipality of Montalcino, an area of Tuscany particularly known for Sangiovese and for the production of Brunello di Montalcino.
