Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2020 (Bio)

  Camigliano's Brunello di Montalcino is an outstanding example of classic Brunello, with a signature style that combines terroir, grape variety, and craftsmanship. It is made from 100% Sangiovese Grosso grapes, planted at a density of around 5,000 vines per hectare. The vineyards are located on the Camigliano Estate, on the western slopes of Montalcino, on soils composed of clay, limestone, and silt; exposure and the selection of suitable clones are particularly important for quality.

Vinification and aging are carried out with great attention to detail: after gentle pressing, fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature (approx. 26-28 °C), with moderate pumping and racking and a maceration period of between 20 and 30 days. This is followed by aging for about 24 months in large oak barrels (Slavonian and French) and then 12 months of bottle aging before the wine is released onto the market. Stylistically, this Brunello is characterized by a ruby red color with a lively garnet rim, a rich fruit palette (small red berries, cherries), spicy and earthy notes, and gently balanced but noticeable tannins. Its aging potential is considerable; over the years, the aromatics continue to develop and the tannins become smoother. - Gerardo [TS10/21]
