WINE MAKING PROCESS
Hand-harvested Sangiovese Grosso grapes undergo temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The wine is aged in traditional large Slavonian oak casks (botti) for at least 2 to 3 years, followed by additional refinement in the bottle before release. This traditional approach preserves the bright acidity and terroir-specific minerality of the Montosoli hill.
