Product Description
"Riccardo Campinoti’s Brunello di Montalcino is a unique wine in that it offers lower fruit personality and a much higher degree of floral intensity. You get pressed rose petal and violets with earthy garden tones and even a bright note of chopped mint. The wines are fermented in cement and then moved to oak casks for 36 months. Also of special note is the silky and refined nature of the tannin.
Vinification:
Soil Type: Varied: Primarily Clay & Limestone - Loam and Glacial Deposits. Oak: 36 months in neutral Slavonian botti (25hL & 50hL casks)"
