Vinification | Attentive care in the vineyard combined with the typical characteristics of this unmistakeable terroir led to a beautiful harvest. The Sangiovese grapes were picked by hand and underwent a precise selection process in the cellar. Fermentation took place in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature, with frequent pressing during the first stages. The wine was then aged in wood, where it matured, becoming refined and balanced. After a period of five full years in the cellar and a further few months of maturation in the bottle, Brunello CastelGiocondo was ready to make itself known. |
