The Brunello di Montalcino di Col d'Orcia was obtained from 100% Sangiovese Grosso grapes grown on the hill of Sant'Angelo in the territory of Montalcino (SI), with a south exposure and at an average altitude of 300 meters above sea level. After the harvest (done by hand with a yield of 46 quintals per hectare), the bunches were further selected on the sorting tables in the cellar. For this prestigious red wine, the alcoholic fermentation process took place in steel in contact with the skins for a duration of 18-20 days, at a controlled temperature that did not exceed 28°C. The aging took place for 36 months in oak barrels from Allier and Slavonia of 25-50 hectoliters and 75 hectoliters, and for a further 12 months in the bottle.
