Understanding Canalicchio di Sopra, Brunello di Montalcino, Riserva, Tuscany
Hand-harvested Sangiovese grapes undergo a meticulous selection process, followed by fermentation in stainless steel. The wine then matures in large Slavonian oak barrels for three years, followed by a further ageing in the bottle. This careful process heightens the wine's complexity and depth, emphasizing its true expression of the terroir.
