WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for this Brunello begins with alcoholic fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, featuring prolonged skin contact. Malolactic fermentation follows in November. The wine is then aged for 42 months in 30 hl Slavonian oak barrels, followed by an additional year of bottle aging before release. This extended aging period is designed to develop the wine's structure and complexity.
