{"title":"Biondi Santi","description":"Biondi-Santi is the most famous estate in Brunello di Montalcino. The estate includes 47 hectares of land at The Greppo and 105 at Pieri. Only 25 hectares are cultivated vineyard of Sangiovese Grosso. The oldest vines, totaling 5 hectares, date from 1930-1970. The yield per hectare is kept low at 3-5 tons per hectare. The current production rarely exceeds 80,000 bottles, including about 10,000 bottles of “Riserva,” only made after exceptional harvests.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe harvest begins in mid September and done exclusively by hand. Only the best grapes are destined to the production of Brunello, those from the vineyards that are at least ten years old for the “Annata” and those at least twenty-five years old for the “Riserva.” The second choice of grapes is used for table wine, sold in bulk.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe stalked grapes, after being crushed, undergo temperature-controlled fermentation in the large concrete tanks and vats for between 15 and 18 days. During the tumultuous fermentation, the must is pumped over twice a day, bathing the marc cap by hand. After drawing off, malolactic breakdown is aided, maintaining a temperature of 18°-20°C for about 30 days.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIn the April after harvest, the new wine is transferred to Slavonian oak barrels to mature. The Brunello spends at least 36 months in these barrels and is bottled in 0.75 litre Bordeaux-style bottles at the end of its fourth year.","products":[{"product_id":"2014-biondi-santi-fascia-rosso-di-montalcino","title":"Biondi Santi Fascia Rosso di Montalcino Italy 2014","description":"\u003cp\u003eAt Greppo it is also produced a Rosso di Montalcino which is made from vineyards over 10 years of age. It is a direct descendant of Greppo¬ù Brunello, but made in those years with less than ideal weather conditions, when Biondi Santi deems the organoleptic characteristics of the wine insufficient for the production of Brunello di Montalcino. None-the-less this makes for a splendid Rosso di Montalcino, which is aged 12 months in Slavonian oak casks.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BBR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47789991035051,"sku":"CS011","price":580.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3023\/7867\/files\/biondi_santi_fascia_rosso_di_montalcino.jpg?v=1789181228"},{"product_id":"1982-biondi-santi-brunello-di-montalcino-greppo","title":"Biondi Santi Brunello di Montalcino Greppo 1982","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\n        body { font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 20px; }\n        h2 { color: #333; }\n        h4 { color: #555; }\n        p { margin: 10px 0; }\n    \u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBiondi-Santi Tenuta Greppo Brunello di Montalcino 1982\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom Biondi-Santi in Tuscany’s Montalcino, the Brunello di Montalcino 1982 is a refined 100% Sangiovese Grosso (BBS11 clone) from Greppo vineyards on marly soils.
