The sun came back in May, but temperatures remained low. 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\u00a0<\/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\u00b0 C in an environment protected by CO\u00b2. 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 <\/strong>Alcohol<\/em> 14.60 % \u2013 Tot.

The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino reflects an authentic identity for Sangiovese with sour cherry, blue flower, grilled herband toasted spice. The wine has fine tannins, a snappy style and a hint of bitterness that should subside with more years in the cellar.

\r\nThe Brunello is made of pure Sangiovese grape, from the XVI Century is one of the greatest Italian wines. In the Fattoria dei Barbi\u2019s cellars are kept almost all the vintages from 1892 till today; many of these bottles were awarded in the XIX, XX and in this present Century. We are one of the most classic expression of the wines from Montalcino.<\/em><\/h3>\r\n
