"November Hotel Tester" - Biondi Santi Vineyard: The vineyard of Brunello Di Montalcino, the father of red wine

#Sign up for November Hotel Test Sleeper Biondi Santi vineyard is located in the heart of the Montalcino production area. The first generation owner, Clement Santi, is the father of Brunello Di Montalcino. As we all know, Brunello Di Montalcino is made from the grape Sangiovese Grosso, which was discovered by the owner of Biondi Santi, who established it as a legal variety and made this world-famous red wine. So be sure to visit this winery, which was founded in the 16th century and is located in the small town of Montalcino in Tuscany, Italy. Covering an area of ​​only 26 hectares, the soil has a high limestone content, which is very suitable for growing Sangiovese Grosso. Grapes are picked entirely by hand, and grape production is limited to 3,000-5,000 kilograms per hectare. The vineyards are actually planted together with olive trees. It is very rare to see olive trees planted together with Sangiovese. Perhaps only Biondi Santi maintains some of these "historical vineyards". Judging from the thickness of the vines, they are probably 50 to 100 years old. rattan. Due to certain business secrets, we are not allowed to take photos of the grapes being pressed, filtered and stored in wooden barrels. The wine tour will of course end with wine tasting. In the end, I couldn't help but bought a box of wine to take home!
