WINEMAKING:
|
| In the wine-making process
the wine is stored in steel vats for 25 days. During
these 25 days, we change the vats and taste the
wine several times. In this way we control the temperature
and the course of the wine-making. After 25 days
we draw the wine from the vats. The wine Brunello
di Montalcino is cellared at least two years in
oak wine butts and four months in bottles. This
wine is put on the market five years after the grape-harvest. |
TASTING NOTES:
|
Colour: Deep red, clear and
brilliant, as the wine is ageing the intensity of
the colour gradates garnet red.
Smell: The flagrance is intense and persistent,
with fruit aromas like berry, plum, cherry and aromatic
wood.
Taste: The flavour is dry, warm, slightly tannic,
strong, harmonious and persistent. We suggest
you to serve the wine in wide and rounded crystal
glasses in order to appreciate the harmonious
bouquet and at a temperature around 18°c.
Open the bottle some hours before drinking the
wine to appreciate its pureness.
