The Brunello di Montalcino La Casaccia by Canalicchio di Sopra is produced exclusively from Sangiovese grapes, cultivated in the prestigious Canalicchio area, northeast of Montalcino. The La Casaccia vineyard spans a clayey and calcareous soil, located at an altitude of about 300 meters above sea level. The unique climatic and geological conditions of this area give the wine distinctive characteristics of elegance and complexity. During the winemaking process, the grapes are hand-selected and fermented in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. The alcoholic fermentation is followed by a long maceration on the skins, lasting about 25 days, to extract the maximum of aromatic and tannic substances. The wine is aged in Slavonian oak barrels for a period of 36 months, followed by a further aging in bottle for at least 12 months before commercialization.
