After crushing, grapes undergo temperature-controlled fermention in stainless steel tanks using selected yeasts. The must is pumped over the skins twice a day to extract colour and tannin. After 18-22 days the wine is racked to large Slavonian oak casks, where it matures for the next 36 months.
Uggiano Brunello di Montalcino wine is a truly excellent 'entry level' Brunello - muscular and richly-flavoured as Brunello should be! Aromas of forest fruits and violet, with a hint of clove on the nose. The palate has more wild berry, black cherry, plum and sweet spice characters with notes of toasty oak. The firm structure is balanced by vibrant acidity. Enjoy with grilled meats (great with wild boar or pheasant if you have any handy!) - or with Tuscan Pecorino cheese.
