WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking journey for this Brunello begins with meticulous organic vineyard management in Sant'Angelo in Colle. Harvested grapes undergo controlled fermentation in stainless steel with pump-overs for extraction, finishing in large oak casks. The wine then matures for an extended period of 42 months in large Slavonian oak, with a smaller portion seeing barrique aging. This traditional approach, combined with a commitment to sustainability, ensures the wine expresses its terroir and vintage with purity and structure.
