Brunello di Montalcino Riserva, Claudia Ferrero

BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO RISERVA

D.O.C.G.

Production area

Montalcino, Sant'Angelo in Colle. Hilly lands at about 250m above sea level

Vineyard

The soil is rich in clay and has low fertility. Spacing: 2,40x0,90 m, 4'600 vines/ha

Weather conditions

Excellent vintage! Not very cold winter with regular rainfall. Spring characterized by heavy rains, that accelerated the vegetative development. A hot summer with no rains allowed to rebalance the phenological phases. The optimal ripening of the grapes led to wines with incredible acidity and intense aromas

Grapes

Clonal selection of Sangiovese, locally called Brunello. Manual harvest, with strong accurate selection of the best bunches, on October 4th

Vinification

Fermentation on the skins for 20 days at controlled temperature below 28°C in in short and wide stainless steel tanks of 80 hl

Aging

33 months in a small Allier cask of 10hl. Bottled on December 17th, 2019 and refined since then in bottle in a temperature controlled storage room

Colour

Deep ruby red of impressive intensity

Bouquet

The small cask has gently released the spices from the oak that are deeply going along with the fine and elegant Sangiovese aromas

Taste

Great structure and ripe tannins are in balance with volume and acidity. Armony and elegance express the perfect vintage. Long, clean and mineral aftertaste

Serving temperature

16-18°C
