Produced with pure Sangiovese grapes, this one Brunello di Montalcino of the Tuscan winery La Fornace comes from vineyards located at an altitude of 400 m above sea level, exposed to the north-east.

It continues with alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in steel. The refinement requires a stay in 10 hl and 32 hl Slavonian oak barrels for a total duration of 36 months.
