Brunello di Montalcino D.O.C.G.
A wine for every occasion (of the week)

The wine: The best grapes from the company’s best vineyards are selected to produce Brunello, whose production is maintained at a level well below the limit established by law.
Soil Characteristics: soil with rocky fragments, with a good percentage of silt.
Planting density: 5,000-5,500 plants per hectare.
Cultivation method: buttressed string.
Vines: 100 percent Brunello di Montalcino (cloned selection of Sangiovese).
Wine making technique: gentle pressing, fermentation in stainless steel at a controlled temperature of 26-28° C, managed with moderate repassing; peel is steeped for 15-20 days, with post-fermentation steeping at 28-30° C.
Refining technique: 24 months in 25- to 60-quintal oak barrels. An additional two years of aging take place in stainless steel and in bottles.
Aging potential: This is a wine that is best at the moment it is released. Aging in the bottle, however, intensifies the delicacy of the tannin and develops the aroma.
Conclusion: A great wine with an intense bouquet and balanced tannins that express all the characteristics of the "terroir" in terms of its quality and type, both in the selection of clones and in the selection of the best-situated and sunniest terrain.
A high-class wine that evolves in interesting ways over time. It is recommended for important events – to honor a loved one or a special guest (Sunday).
