Brunello di Montalcino Riserva

Information

Description

Ventolaio’s Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is made entirely from Sangiovese grown at approximately 400 metres above sea level. The vines are trained to spur-pruned cordons on soils characterised by marl and galestro. In the cellar, fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, with the must remaining in contact with the grape skins during maceration. A long maturation follows in Slavonian and French oak casks. The Riserva’s production process therefore combines its connection to the hillside soils of Montalcino with stainless steel vinification and an extended period of ageing in wood.
