It displays an intense purple-red colour, with an aromatic profile characterised by fresh notes of plum and wild berries, followed by pleasant balsamic hints. The palate is \u003cstrong\u003epowerful and juicy\u003c\/strong\u003e, supported by lively acidity and \u003cstrong\u003efragrant tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e that provide a solid structure. This sensory richness makes the wine ideal for pairing with \u003cstrong\u003eflavourful first courses\u003c\/strong\u003e, succulent braised meats, game-based recipes and mature cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine originates in the Montalcino area, in the Castelnuovo dell’Abate zone, within the renowned Brunello di Montalcino denomination. The grapes come from two vineyards with distinct microclimates: \u003cstrong\u003ePoggio al Sole\u003c\/strong\u003e, situated at 150 metres altitude with a southern exposure on tuff and clay soils, and \u003cstrong\u003ePian Bossolino\u003c\/strong\u003e, located at 350 metres on predominantly galestro soils. The interaction between the different altitudes enhances the characteristics of these \u003cstrong\u003ecomposite soils\u003c\/strong\u003e, imparting a precise and rigorous territorial identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe harvest takes place between late summer and early autumn. In the winery, vinification begins with a \u003cstrong\u003etemperature-controlled fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e lasting about 10-17 days, accompanied by continuous pumping over and délestage to optimise maceration. Ageing involves twelve months in \u003cstrong\u003eFrench oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e and a further twelve months in large \u003cstrong\u003eSlavonian oak casks\u003c\/strong\u003e. The process is completed with a period in stainless steel and a long rest in glass for at least thirty months.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1992, La Fiorita produces a majestic \u003cstrong\u003eBrunello di Montalcino DOCG\u003c\/strong\u003e from the prestigious vineyards of Castelnuovo dell’Abate.
