Brunello di Montalcino DOCG (2016) Casanuova Delle Cerbaie

Grape varietals: Sangiovese grosso called “Brunello” in Montalcino

Harvest: Manual selection of the grapes in perforated boxes, delicately discharged directly onto the vibrating table which allows the grapes to be dosed evenly, facilitating the staff who will go through the manual selection on the sorting table. 6 employees carefully check the grapes, so as to be able to remove unwanted components, such as spoiled, unripe grapes and bunches, leaves and foreign bodies before reaching the destemmer hopper.

Vinification: Intense extraction with frequent pumping over in the initial stages of fermentation, followed by long, quiescent maceration on the skins. Accurate temperature control, the maximum of which is raised to 31 degrees centigrade and allowed to freely drop until racking.

Aging in wood: 24 months in Slavonian oak barrels selected by Stockinger

Refinement in the bottle: Minimum six months in a conditioned room.
