aging in wood.

Only the best Sangiovese grapes from the Podere are destined for Brunello di Montalcino. The long maturation - two and a half years - takes place in French wood, followed by a passage in concrete and 18 months of aging in the bottle, an essential period to give Giodo Brunello di Montalcino elegance, balance and depth. On the palate it presents great class, it is a complex, deep, intriguing wine, intense but without opulence, soft and of extraordinary persistence.

The label embodies a small story: a stylized man depicting Sangiovese supports the wine world because in Montalcino it is the only interpreter of the denomination.
