Vinification of Brunello di Montalcino DOCG by Tenuta le Potazzine

The vinification of Brunello di Montalcino DOCG begins with the careful selection of grapes. These come from the finest locations in Montalcino. Only the fully ripe and healthiest grapes are used for production. The harvest is done by hand to ensure the quality of the berries. After harvesting, the grapes are gently destemmed and prepared for fermentation.

Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Experienced winemakers use traditional methods to optimally extract the aromas. After fermentation, the wine ages for at least two years in large oak barrels. This gives the Brunello its complex aromas and smooth texture. Following barrel aging, further bottle aging occurs, perfecting the wine's harmony and balance. The entire process is characterized by craftsmanship and tradition to create an unparalleled taste experience.
