This Brunello di Montalcino is a red wine produced only with Sangiovese Grosso grapes from our own vineyards. The bunches are rigorously selected for quality and handpicked into small boxes. Following a gentle pressing, the must undergoes a pre-fermentation at low temperatures in steel and wood fermenters. Alcoholic fermentation takes place under temperature-controlled conditions for 22 days at 30-32°C. A long maceration and frequent pump-overs, punch-downs and delestages optimize the extraction from the skins. The malolactic fermentation is completed in concrete vats. This wine was aged for 12 months in 25hL oak casks and another 12 months in 225L French oak barriques. It matured for another year in glass-lined cement vats and then was bottled, without filtration, at least 8 months before release.
