The Summer was dry and hot, but without excessive situations, sunny in the day and fresh in the night. Just the perfect weather for Sangiovese. Only one pretty hot week caused drought stress to the vines, giving them that crucial accent that defines a great vintage. At the end of August ten days of rainfalls lowered the temperatures and gave a push to the vines. September was sunny and warm, with cool nights, and helped for a very good phenolic maturation. The harvest started on September 15th and ended on <\/em>October 2nd, without any rainfall.<\/em> A \u20182000s-style\u2019 five stars vintage, for warm and opulent wines.<\/p>\r\n Vinification <\/strong>Before the fermentation the grapes were subjected to a cold pre-fermentative maceration which consists in cooling the grapes at a temperature of 16\u00b0C in an environment protected by CO2. This process increases the extraction of polyphenols and aroma compounds. The regular alcoholic fermentation followed and lasted 16\/17 days at a controlled temperature of 27\u00b0-28\u00b0C. After the racking and the malolactic fermentation the wine aged in small-medium size oak barrels (2,25 \u2013 15 hl) for the first months. Later it completed the aging in larger oak barrels, for a total period of two years and then is bottled at least 4 months before the release.<\/p>\r\n Chemical Analysis\u00a0<\/strong>Alcohol<\/em> 14.94 % \u2013 Tot.

\r\nThe Fiore is the most Southern vineyard in the Fattoria dei Barbi estate, in the Southern area of Montalcino\u2019s district. It is a narrow valley with shale soil, here the grapes for the future Brunello Vigna del Fiore ripen perfectly, protected from cold winds and hot Sirocco. The Ribusuoli brook is never sparse of water. The result is a sumptuous Brunello, elegant and complex.<\/em><\/h3>\r\n
