Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Collezione del Conte 2018 Villa da Filicaja

The Brunello di Montalcino of Villa da Filicaja originates from vineyards located on the south-west side of the municipality of Montalcino.

It is produced with 100% Sangiovese grapes, harvested manually during the first ten days of October. After destemming, alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel at a controlled temperature of 28-30 ° C with frequent pumping over and delestages; maceration on the skins lasts about 25 days. After malolactic fermentation, the wine is placed in 30 and 50 hectoliters Slavonian oak barrels for 36 months. The blending and the “resting” phases follow before bottling, which took place in April-May. The release on the market takes place 9-10 months after bottling, to ensure the right gustatory and olfactory evolution of the product.

Brilliant ruby red tending towards garnet in color, it opens with a characteristic and persistent bouquet made of cherries and wild berries. In the mouth it is structured but elegant, with a dense and velvety texture, with mineral hints typical of the terroir.

Great meditation wine, it can be appreciated with elaborate dishes of meat, cheeses and game.
