WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Silvio Nardi Rosso di Montalcino 2018 is produced from 100% Sangiovese grapes, hand-harvested from vineyards in Montalcino. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks with controlled temperatures and skin contact. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes several months of aging in a mix of new and used wooden casks of various capacities. Rosso di Montalcino wines are typically released in the September following the harvest, indicating a shorter aging regimen compared to Brunello.
