Benda Brunello di Montalcino DOC 2021","description":"\u003cp\u003ePure elegance and finesse - A fantastic Brunello di Montalcino - and a compelling interpretation of the vintage, unmatched by few!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine is filled with energy, high acidity, and plenty of cherries in both aroma and taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tannins are finely balanced, completing a well-structured wine with body and length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a bit of air, the wine reveals even greater complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom vineyards situated high at approximately 500 meters above sea level, surrounded by the most beautiful wild nature\/forest, in a perfect microclimate for winemaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe subsoil is a mix of galestro, red clay, and sandstone. Perfect for creating the most beautiful expression of the Sangiovese grape.\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHarvesting is done manually. The grapes are carefully sorted both in the field and again in the cellar by John and Zoe, before being 100% destemmed and transferred to stainless steel tanks. Here, malolactic fermentation starts spontaneously with the naturally occurring yeast strains on the grapes, a process that lasts 2-3 weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVertical presses are used to extract maximum flavor and natural acidity from the skins and seeds of the grapes, which is crucial for the wine's longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter fermentation, the wine naturally sediments before being transferred to large oak barrels. The barrels are either French or Slavonian oak of the highest quality from Gabellotto - 20HL to 26HL.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter 20 months, the wine is bottled directly from the barrels, without filtration and with minimal use of sulfur dioxide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis careful attention to detail in every phase of production ensures that each bottle not only reflects Montalcino's unique terroir but also showcases the winery's commitment to traditional artisanal quality to perfection!\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"J.
