WINE MAKING PROCESS
Brunello di Montalcino Pianrosso Riserva 2015 is produced from 100% Sangiovese grapes. Fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled stainless steel and glass-lined concrete vats, with a long maceration period. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for over three years in large Slavonian oak barrels (7.5-30 hl). It then undergoes an additional period of bottle aging for over 12 months before release. Riserva wines have specific aging requirements, including a minimum of five years total aging from harvest, with at least two years in barrel and six months in bottle.
