WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Fanti Brunello di Montalcino begins with a meticulous triple selection of Sangiovese grapes before destemming and pressing. Fermentation occurs over 25-30 days in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperatures, facilitating optimal extraction. The wine is then aged for 28 months, utilizing a mix of French oak barriques and large oak barrels. A minimum of four months of bottle aging precedes its release, allowing for further integration and development.
