Description
Brunello Vigna Pinino is a cru obtained solely from the selection of the homonymous vineyard, nestled in the historical heart of the property. The wine has a deep, intense ruby red colour. Elegant and refined both in the nose and in the mouth, it features notes of red fruits such as cherries, black cherries, redcurrants and raspberries, that are enhanced and not drown out by the wood. After a winter with below-average temperatures, spring was fairly warm, with average precipitation levels. June was quite rainy compared to the seasonal average, but the weather conditions allowed for regular grape development and harmonious berry growth. The rest of the summer, however, was rather dry. September’s temperature changes between day and night favoured the synthesis of noble substances both in and out of the grapes. The significant rainfall led to a rather late harvest, resulting in grapes with a perfect balance between technological and phenolic ripeness, along with an important aromatic component. Fermentation in steel tanks at a controlled temperature, on-skin maceration from 18 to 25 days, at least 30 months of aging in 30 hl, 20 hl and 10 hl oak barrels.
