First produced in 1888, the Biondi-Santi Riserva is the first Brunello in history, and even today at Tenuta Greppo, the historic home of Biondi-Santi, the announcement of a new Riserva is an exceptional event. It is a rare and special wine.

Renowned for its extraordinary longevity, it has been produced only 40 times since 1888, and its production is extremely limited. Traditionally, the grapes for the Riserva come from the oldest vineyards, over 25 years old.

At the heart of the ancient Tenuta Greppo cellar lies a jealously guarded room, sheltered from the light and noise of the world, dedicated entirely to the Riserva.
This is "La Storica," the cellar where Biondi-Santi preserves bottles of every Riserva vintage ever produced.
"La Storica" ??is an intimate space where the bottles rest naked in small niches, each dedicated to a different vintage. Naked, dressed only with a drop of beeswax on top of the cork to ensure its integrity and durability over time.
