Moscadello or Moscatello is the oldest Ilcinese wine (we have news of it as early as the 17th century). And it is not surprising, therefore, that the “most” historical company of Montalcino, Biondi Santi, produced it. However, it is an "extinct" wine, unrepeatable and unobtainable even in the well-stocked wine shop, which "lives" only at the Greppo, where Franco Biondi Santi still keeps a few bottles of a very reserved reserve. A rare piece of authentic history of Italian enology, too often in search of unlikely legacies of the past, forgetting those few that are necessary from the past. The 1969 vintage, the last under the guidance of Tancredi Biondi Santi, tells of a small vineyard, which ceased to exist right at the end of the life of Franco's father. Nuts, with different but at the same time identical nuances, a territory as Brunello usually does (at least some). And it is one of those wines that could make maniacs of technical-formal composure turn up their noses, but on the other hand it thrills those who never forget.
