| Vinification | After careful work on the vine, the Sangiovese from the Montesodi vineyard was harvested by hand into 15 kg crates. Further care and selection occurred in the cellar, where the grapes were carefully checked on the sorting table. Only the highest quality clusters were selected based on polyphenolic substances and the health of the grapes. Fermentation took place at a controlled temperature for around 10 days. Maceration was defined based on tasting, and finished after a period of one month. After racking, the wine was completed, bringing the malolactic fermentation process to a close. At the end of the year, Montesodi started its aging process in French and Austrian oak 30 hl barrels, where it remained for the next 18 months, until it was bottled. The subsequent months of aging in the bottle enabled Montesodi to express its maximum elegance and potential. |
