WINE MAKING PROCESS
Brunello di Montalcino Pianrosso Riserva Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona 2001 is produced from 100% Sangiovese grapes selected from the Pianrosso vineyard. Fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled stainless steel and glass-lined concrete vats, followed by a long maceration. The wine is then aged for an extended period in Slavonian oak barrels before undergoing bottle refinement. This process is designed to develop the wine's structure, complexity, and aging potential.
