We are in Tuscany, in the Val d'Orcia. Here among cypresses, olive trees and sunny hills stands a medieval village, among the most suggestive and evocative of Tuscany. We are in Montalcino, a fortress with its perched houses and its stone walls where even today you can breathe the air of ladies and knights.In 1840 Clemente Santi founded the "Tenuta Il Greppo" two kilometers south of the city of Montalcino, on a hill with steep and steep sides from which the name "Il Greppo" derives, which means "barren and steep side of a mountain or hill.”Here Clemente began cultivating a particular type of Sangiovese, Sangiovese Grosso, later baptized "brown" and then "brunello" due to its dark and intense color.Why visit Montalcino?
