WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Campinuovi Montecucco Sangiovese Riserva involves traditional red wine vinification with a focus on the Riserva designation. The grapes undergo a long maceration on their skins, with fermentation occurring in tronconic vats made of Slavonian oak. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for a minimum of 24 months in French oak barriques, sourced from Allier and Never, and then rests for at least 6 months in bottle before release. The estate has been certified organic since 2000 and has practiced biodynamic agriculture since 2006.
