WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Bottega Brunello di Montalcino DOCG begins with a harvest in early October. Fermentation occurs in steel tanks with a 25-day maceration period, utilizing daily pump-overs and incorporating some whole bunches for added complexity. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in steel tanks for three months. Aging is a significant component, with the wine spending approximately three years in Slavonian oak casks, including tonneaux and larger barrels, before bottling.
