Brunello di Montalcino Biondi Santi

The Brunello di Montalcino by Biondi Santi is one the most well-known Italian wines in the world. It is a fundamental piece of the Italian wine history. The Sangiovese Grosso, called Brunello, is harvested in the second half of September and the grapes are immediately brought in the winery to be destemmed and fermented. The grapes are put in temperature controlled steel tanks where the fermentation with skins maceration lasts around 15 days at a temperature of 28-30°C. Here the skins gives the wine their aromas and polyphenols. Once drawn, Brunello stays in Slavonia oak barrels for 3 years and then bottled. Bottle ageing lasts 4 months before being released on the market.
