Ruffino - Tenuta Greppone Mazzi - Brunello di Montalcino + 1 FREE Ruffino Chianti DOCG | Italian Red Wine

Harvest:
The wine is crafted from the finest grapes in the vineyard. The grapes were hand-harvested at ideal ripeness during several passes between the third week and the end of September. The vines yielded 12 tons per acre. The grapes were hand-sorted in the winery.

Fermentation:
The juice was fermented in thermo-controlled stainless-steel vats at a temperature of 82°F for 7 days with regular racking and punch-downs. It macerated on the skins for another 10 days.

Aging:
After completing malolactic fermentation, the wine was aged in oak barrels (about 800–1,600 gallons) for 24 months. After resting in stainless-steel vats for 12 months, the wine was bottled and further aged for 4 months.
