Fattoria dei Barbi Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2013
Dry red wine, 100% Sangiovese Grosso grapes. This Riserva of Brunello is made with a special selection of grapes collected from our best vineyards in Montalcino. The ageing in barrel and in bottle is longer than the one for a regular Brunello, thus the wine has a deeper concentration and a wider complexity of aromas.

Colour

Intense ruby red.

Bouquet

Aromas of ripe plum and black currant which integrate with scents of dried fruit, vanilla and nutmeg.

Flavour

Velvety tannins, well balanced with the acidity. Long and persistent, the ripe black fruits and spicy aromas come back in the aftertaste.

Pairing

Wine for important occasions, matches roast or braised meat, game and mature cheeses.

Vinification Before the fermentation the grapes were subjected to a cold pre-fermentative maceration which consists in cooling the grapes at a temperature of 16°C in an environment protected by CO2. This process increases the extraction of polyphenols and aroma compounds. The regular alcoholic fermentation followed and lasted 16-17 days at a controlled temperature of 27-28 °C.
Ageing After the racking and the malolactic fermentation the wine aged in small-medium size oak barrels (2,25 – 15 hl) for the first months. Later it completed the ageing in larger oak barrels, for a total period of 3 years and then is bottled for at least 6 months before the release.
