WINE MAKING PROCESS
Brunello di Montalcino Val di Suga 2019 is produced from 100% Sangiovese grapes. The winemaking process begins with fermentation in stainless steel tanks, where maceration lasts for 20-25 days at controlled temperatures of around 30°C. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 24 to 36 months in large Slavonian oak barrels. A further period of 6 to 12 months of bottle aging is undertaken before the wine is released. The estate practices sustainable viticulture to allow for the natural expression of the terroir.
