| History |
Greppone Mazzi Brunello di Montalcino is the quintessence of a Brunello: traditional, elegant and deeply rooted in the terroir of Montalcino, the small village in the province of Siena in southern Tuscany. This great wine is made from a particular local Sangiovese clone, Sangiovese Grosso or Brunello, because of its particularly dark skin colour. Famous for its power, longevity and great elegance, this grape gives a wine that excels in strength and finesse. |
