WINE DESCRIPTION
The powerful Brunello di Montalcino from Italy is a single-varietal wine crafted from the Sangiovese grape. Once the perfect physiological ripeness is ensured, the grapes for Brunello di Montalcino are meticulously handpicked without the use of strenuous and less selective grape harvesters. After harvest, the grapes swiftly make their way to the winery, where they undergo careful sorting and gentle crushing. Fermentation then takes place in small wooden vessels at controlled temperatures. Following fermentation completion, the robust Brunello di Montalcino matures for several months in oak barrels.
