WINE MAKING PROCESS
La Fortuna produces Brunello di Montalcino using 100% Sangiovese grapes from vines aged 10 to 30 years. The winemaking process involves fermentation, typically in stainless steel or concrete tanks, followed by a minimum of two years of aging in wooden barrels, including barriques and large casks. A further minimum of four months of bottle aging is required before release. The estate's vineyards are divided into two areas within Montalcino.
