Brunello Di Montalcino - Podere Fornacella

In the glass, the Brunello Di Montalcino from Podere Fornacella reveals a dense ruby-red color. The first nose of the Brunello Di Montalcino shows notes of violets, raspberries, and sour cherries. The fruity components of the bouquet are joined by notes from barrel aging, such as additional fruity-balsamic nuances.

The Podere Fornacella Brunello Di Montalcino presents itself to the wine lover as pleasantly dry. This red wine never appears rough or lean, as one might expect from a wine. Powerful and complex, this meaty and silky red wine unfolds on the palate. On the finish, this wine from the Tuscany wine-growing region delights with a lovely length. Once again, hints of violets and raspberry appear.

Vinification of Podere Fornacella Brunello Di Montalcino

This red wine clearly focuses on a single grape variety: Sangiovese. Only immaculate grapes were used for this wonderfully powerful varietal wine from Podere Fornacella. After being hand-picked, the grapes are quickly brought to the winery, where they are selected and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place in large wooden vats at controlled temperatures. After fermentation is complete, the powerful Brunello Di Montalcino is aged for another 36 months in oak barrels.
