BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO DOCG
PRODUCTION AREA: Vineyards on the southeast slope of Castelnuovo dell'Abate, Montalcino (SI)

VINIFICATION AND AGEING: Manual harvest in crates, separating the grapes by type and plot; fermentation with maceration in stainless steel tanks for 20 days at a controlled temperature (24-28°C) with daily pumping over and delestage. After alcoholic fermentation, a post-fermentation maceration takes place at 29°C for approximately 48 hours, followed by racking. Immediately after racking, the wines, still retaining a good amount of fine lees, are transferred to French oak barriques and large Slavonian oak barrels. Malolactic fermentation takes place here, and the wines undergo weekly batonnage for approximately 5 months. After this period, they will continue to age for another 20 months.

TASTING NOTES:
Intense and strong on the palate, slightly tannic due to its youth, soft and persistent. Serve at 18°C ??in large glasses. Ideal with roasted white or red meats, poultry, game, and aged cheeses.

AGEING POTENTIAL:
15 years
