Vinification of the Rosso di Montalcino from Poggio Landi This balanced red wine from Italy is made from the Sangiovese grape variety. The vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on clay soils in Tuscany. After being harvested by hand, the grapes are immediately taken to the press house. Here they are selected and carefully crushed. Fermentation then takes place in large oak barrels at controlled temperatures. Fermentation is followed by 15 months of maturation in large French oak barrels. The ageing in wooden barrels is followed by considerable ageing in the bottle, which makes this red wine even more complex.
