Crafted from a meticulous selection of grapes sourced from the Rennina and Sugarille vineyards, along with those from Torrenieri, the 2018 Gaja Brunello di Montalcino exemplifies a harmonious blend. The Rennina and Sugarille vineyards boast a clay-calcareous soil enriched with substantial quantities of galestro, a rocky, schistous clay soil, while Torrenieri`s terrain consists of a blend of clay, silt, and sand. Each vineyard`s grapes underwent separate fermentation and maceration processes, spanning approximately three weeks. Following a maturation period of 24 months in oak barrels, the wines were artfully blended and further aged for an additional six months in concrete vats before being bottled.
