Fattoria La Lecciaia Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2017 - Country: Italy - Capacity: 0.75
Brand: Fattoria La Lecciaia
When the label says Brunello di Montalcino DOCG, you can be sure that the wine in the bottle has been produced with all due care. Definitely no rush. In this case, for example, it takes at least 5 years before the Sangiovese Grosso reaches the right level of complexity and can be released to market. After all, these bottles are not meant to be drunk too soon. They are, on the contrary, wines that can easily rest in the cellar for a few years, acquiring new and intriguing nuances over time. The harvest takes place between the months of September and October, strictly by hand. Vinification in steel vats at controlled temperature, with a maceration phase that lasts almost three weeks. This is what is needed for Sangiovese to yield its best colour and tannins. This is followed by a phase of maturation in wood, which in this case takes place in Slavonian oak casks, for a minimum period of 36 months. At that point, however, the wine is bottled to continue with an aging phase in glass that could last virtually years. This is the magic of Sangiovese di Montalcino.
