WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Pian delle Vigne Rosso di Montalcino begins with destemming and gentle crushing of the Sangiovese grapes. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature of 25°C for 8 to 10 days, followed by malolactic fermentation. The wine is then aged for approximately 10 months, primarily in large wooden casks or barrels. This approach focuses on preserving the varietal's fresh fruit aromas and developing a balanced structure.
