WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Mastrojanni Brunello di Montalcino 2017 is produced from 100% Sangiovese. Following harvest, the wine undergoes vinification, with details on fermentation not specified but typically involving controlled temperature management. A significant aspect of its production is the extended aging process: 36 months are spent in large format oak barrels (16 hl, 33 hl, and 54 hl) made from Allier, Slavonian, and Styrian oak. This is complemented by an additional 6 months of aging in the winery's cellars before release. Rigorous bunch selection is a key technique employed by the producer.
