Vinification of Brunello di Montalcino

Brunello di Montalcino comes from the renowned wine-growing region of Tuscany in Italy, more precisely from the DOCG-certified Brunello di Montalcino area. The Sangiovese (Prugnolo Gentile) grape variety thrives optimally on the lime- and sandstone-rich soils and brings out its best characteristics. The grapes are carefully tended there and harvested exclusively by hand, in order to select only the ripest berries. After the harvest, vinification takes place in the traditional way in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, to preserve the fruit and terroir in the best possible way. The wine is then aged for several months in high-quality oak barrels, which impart the characteristic oak note and refine the structure. Maturation in barrel ensures a harmonious integration of the aromas and turns Brunello di Montalcino into a full-bodied, complex red wine with depth of flavor. This high-quality maturation helps to retain the wine’s vibrancy and stabilize its intense color. After aging, the wine is bottled and is then ready to inspire connoisseurs and enthusiasts worldwide.
