Vinification of the Leonardo da Vinci Brunello Di Montalcino The well-balanced Brunello Di Montalcino from Italy is a single-varietal wine made from the Sangiovese grape variety. Obviously, Brunello Di Montalcino is also determined by the climate and the Brunello di Montalcino DOCG winegrowing style. This Italian wine can be described as an Old World wine in the best sense of the word, presenting itself as exceptionally complex. After harvesting, the grapes are transported to the winery as quickly as possible. Here they are selected and carefully crushed. Fermentation then takes place in large oak barrels at controlled temperatures. Fermentation is followed by 28 months of maturation in large Slavonian oak barrels. The ageing in barrels is followed by extensive bottle ageing, which makes this red wine even more complex. Once the wine is finished, the Brunello Di Montalcino is carefully harmonized.
