Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 'Vigna del Fiore' Fattoria dei Barbi 2017

The Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Vigna del Fiore is an elegant red wine from Fattoria dei Barbi , a Tuscan winery that has always excelled in enhancing the territory. This wine is obtained from the vinification of only Sangiovese grapes, grown on the oldest vineyards in the area. In the Vigna del Fiore the vines enjoy optimal exposure and draw precious nutrients from the soils with high percentages of minerals. Once the grape harvest is complete, cold maceration begins in the cellar to improve the extraction of aromatic and polyphenolic notes. This is followed by fermentation at a controlled temperature, which continues for just over two weeks. The wine is first aged in small oak barrels, and then placed in larger barrels. At the end of this phase, which lasts a total of 2 years, after bottling a further refinement of 4 months is foreseen. Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Vigna del Fiore is excellent immediately, but can be left to rest for many years in the cellar.
