Food pairing
The elegance of this wine, thanks also to its body and structure, makes it a wine for meditation. It matches all our best dishes of the Tuscan tradition: great with complex first courses (lasagne, pinci pasta with sauces made with game), second courses made with game, braised meat and ripe and spicy cheeses.
Production
Removal of grape stalks and soft pressing, fermentation in stainless steel casks at the controlled temperature of 28-30� C, maceration on the skins for 20-25 days with extraction technique made with delestage and with pumping over during the first week of maceration. Then a delestage a week spaced out with pumping over decreasing along the process. It ages 36 months in French oak barrels of 5 Hl. Then another 18 months in the bottle for refining.
Winery
This wine represents the pick of our production. All Sangiovese used for this Riserva comes from the single vineyard of Fontelontano. The name ��� Fontelontano� is linked to the presence of a water source near the vineyard where in the old times people used to get their water for their homes. The Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is produced from this vineyard only in the best vintages.
