WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Tenuta Belguardo Marchesi Mazzei involves careful vineyard management at the Tenuta Belguardo estate. Grapes are harvested when optimal ripeness is achieved, followed by fermentation, likely in temperature-controlled stainless steel or concrete tanks. The wine then undergoes aging in a mix of French and American oak barrels, contributing to its structure and complexity. The blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot is a key technique in shaping the final profile of the wine.
