Biondi Santi Jacopo

Jacopo Biondi Santi is certainly one of the most famous names in Italian winemaking. Not only because his ancestor Ferruccio Biondi Santi once isolated the Sangiovese Grosso clone, which even today forms the basis for the worldwide fame of Brunello. No, the name stands for memorable wines, for consistency and greatness. These values also apply to Montepò , Santi's most recent acquisition near the Tyrrhenian coast near Grossetto . With his current collection, Santi is now proving that top-class international wines can also be produced here in the Maremma . He relies entirely on traditional, tried and tested methods such as extended maceration times, the use of large wooden barrels instead of modernist barriques and extensive bottle aging.
