This unique grape variety is the beating heart of this Brunello, giving it its structure and complexity. The vinification follows a traditional process, with fermentation in steel tanks, thus preserving the purity of the fruit.
After fermentation, this Brunello undergoes patient aging, essential to its development. It ages for a minimum of five years, a significant part of which in oak barrels, allowing it to refine its tannins and develop its aromatic palette.
