The story of Il Greppo dates back to 1800, when Clemente Santi and his grand-son Ferruccio Biondi Santi, began making wine using 100% Sangiovese in the cellar of Tenuta Il Greppo, belonging to their family. In 1888 Ferruccio produced the first bottle of Brunello. His son ancredi, a wine maker with a remarkable reputation, set the uidelines for the regulation of Brunello production. Franco Biondi Santi, Tancredi’s son, still follows the same philosophy, without aking changes, relying on the testimony and the extraordinary collection of Riserves, of which the 888 is still the most historic one.
