Ferrero - Brunello di Montalcino - Riserva * | Brunello di Montalcino DOCG
Red wine | Italy, TUSCANY | 2016
Deep ruby red of impressive intensity. The small cask has gently released the spices from the oak that are deeply going along with the fine and elegant Sangiovese aromas. Great structure and ripe tannins are in balance with volume and acidity. Harmony and elegance express the perfect vintage. Long, clean and mineral aftertaste.

Vinification
Excellent vintage! Not very cold winter with regular rainfall. Spring characterized by heavy rains, that accelerated the vegetative development. A hot summer with no rains allowed to rebalance the phenological phases. The optimal ripening of the grapes led to wines with incredible acidity and intense aromas.
Fermentation on the skins for 20 days at controlled temperature below 28°C in short and wide stainless steel tanks of 80 hl.
Agening for 33 months in a small Allier cask of 10hl. Bottled on December 17th, 2019 and refined since then in bottle in a temperature controlled storage room.

About Ferrero
The Ferrero wine estate is located on the Podere Pascena, about halfway between Sant’Angelo in Colle and Sant’Angelo Scalo, two small villages on the Southern slopes of Montalcino, Sienna, Tuscany. It is a small domain (5.5 ha) established at the end of the 90s. The center of the domain is a traditional stone-built farmhouse from 1900, which was restored in the 1980s. The ground floor, the stable and the barn were converted into a vinification room and maturing cellar.
