The grapes used to produce Brunello di Montalcino DOCG wine are harvested in September/October when the grapes have reached ideal ripeness. The wine is produced from 100% Sangiovese grapes, vinified in stainless steel vats at controlled temperatures. It then undergoes the customary long maceration period and pump-overs. The next step is malolactic fermentation, after which the wine is aged for 24 months in neutral Slavonian oak tonneaux.

It is subsequently bottled and aged in the bottles for another two years, to reach the 4-year aging period. The wine is released on the market in the 5th year after the harvest. Fornacina Winery’s Brunello di Montalcino has a great personality with a diverse and fascinating profile. It is perfectly paired with red meats, grilled or braised, and it is excellent with aged cheeses. Ruby red with garnet reflexes, due to aging. Intense red, ripe fruit, and hints of spices. Full, persistent, soft, and elegant tannins.
