Brunello di Montalcino Biondi Santi is one of the most well-known Italian wines worldwide and a piece of Italian enological history. The "grosso" Sangiovese, called Brunello, is harvested in the second half of September and the grapes are immediately taken to the cellar for destemming and fermentation. The berries are placed in temperature-controlled steel containers, and fermentation with maceration lasts about 15 days at 28-30°C, during which the skins release aromatic compounds and polyphenols into the wine. Once racked off, the Brunello rests in Slavonian oak barrels for 3 years, then the bottles rest in the cellar for at least 4 months before being marketed.
