Brunello di Montalcino

• 100% Sangiovese Grosso
• From the prestigious hill of Montosoli to the north of Montalcino
• 250-300 metres above sea level on land dating back to the Eocene period characterized by calcareous, marl, argillaceous and conglomerate rocks
• Vines planted with south-west exposition
• Manual selection of the grapes
• Intense extraction with frequent pumping over, followed by long maceration on the skins
• Aged 30 months in Slavonian oak barrels selected by Stockinger, and 6 months in bottle
• In 2011 no Riserva was produced, so all of the Montosoli fruit is in these wines 
• Approximately 2500 cases are produced each year
