Rainfall concentrated between 18 and 25 January and the first five days of February, for a total of about 70 mm over the two months. Budding took place at the usual time, with rainfall of around 100 mm and average temperatures of around 10\u00b0C in March, April and May. The seasonal trend during these months led to a vegetative slowing down of about two weeks. There was no significant rainfall in June and July, except for a major phenomenon at the end of July, with about 70 mm in for two days. Average temperatures during the two months were between 20\u00b0C and 25\u00b0C, with peaks of 35\u00b0C on just two days. No precipitation was recorded in August, apart from around the 25th of the month, with a total of 20 mm; temperatures were within the usual range, with maximums between 30 and 35\u00b0C. Thanks to the accumulated water reserves and temperatures that never reached excessively high peaks, the foliage remained more or less intact and efficient. All this allowed the slow and even ripening of the grapes, ideal for obtaining perfect phenolic and technological maturity. As well as delaying the harvest, rain during the first week of September also allowed the containment of the alcohol content of the grapes. The Sangiovese grapes were in excellent health. 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 three years and then is bottled at least 6 months before the release.<\/p>\r\n Chemical Analysis<\/strong>\u00a0Alcohol<\/em> 14.70 % \u2013 Tot.

\r\nThe Brunello Riserva from Fattoria dei Barbi is made only in the vintages that present the extraordinary potential of ageing of Brunello, which can live over one hundred years. We choose the most suitable barrels, more coherent with our style. It is an austere wine, great under every aspect with an extreme elegance.<\/em><\/h3>\r\n
The harvest started on September 30th and ended on October 10th.<\/em><\/p>\r\n
