WINE MAKING PROCESS
Brunello di Montalcino Il Marroneto Selezione Madonna delle Grazie 2018 is produced using traditional winemaking methods. Following harvest, the grapes undergo fermentation, after which the wine is aged for a significant period. This aging process involves at least 24 months in French Allier oak casks, with some sources indicating up to 41 months in special oak. The producer typically employs large French Allier and Slavonian oak casks for maturation. The 2018 vintage experienced a challenging spring with rain, followed by a recovery, influencing the grapes' development.
