Vinification of the Poggio Landi Brunello di Montalcino The basis for the powerful Brunello di Montalcino from Tuscany is grapes from the Sangiovese grape variety. In Tuscany, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on clay soils. After the grape harvest, the grapes are immediately taken to the press house. Here they are selected and carefully crushed. This is followed by fermentation in large oak barrels at controlled temperatures. Fermentation is followed by maturation for 44 months in large French oak barrels. The ageing in oak barrels is followed by a long period of maturation in the bottle, which makes this red wine even more complex.
