However, it is always ensured that every technique has only a minimal impact on health and the environment surrounding us. The must from the Sangiovese grapes is fermented on the skins in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature for two or three weeks. After alcoholic fermentation, malolactic fermentation begins, a natural process in which malic acid is converted into lactic acid. The wine is aged for a total of four years, two and a half of which are spent in oak barrels. The bottled wine then rests for a further six months in the bottle. Argiano\u0026#39;s goal is to make the best possible use of the terroir\u0026#39;s qualities to produce a great bottle from every vine. A ruby-red Brunello with an earthy nose and hints of flowers and red fruit.

South of Montalcino and very close to the Lisini estate lies Tenuta Collosorbo. The vineyards are situated between 200 and 400 meters above sea level on the southern slopes of the Orcia Valley. Collosorbo is an old castle belonging to the Ciacci family. The wine cellar is housed in one wing of the building. It is well-equipped, spotlessly clean, and has a wonderful atmosphere. The wines are aged in young 50-hectoliter oak barrels. The estate comprises a total of 130 hectares of land, but only about a quarter of it is planted with vines. The winemaker is Attilio Pagni, who produces wines of rare finesse and elegance at Collosorbo.","brand":"Unbekannter Hersteller","offers":[{"title":"2023","offer_id":53152195641680,"sku":"VJ1779-2023","price":23.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/3509\/4864\/files\/109131.jpg?v=1781611710"},{"product_id":"rosso-di-montalcino-banditella-doc-bio","title":"Rosso di Montalcino \u0026quot;Banditella\u0026quot; DOC - organic","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Rosso di Montalcino “Banditella” from Col d\u0026#39;Orcia is the younger brother of the great Brunello — more approachable in the drinking window, but with the same Sangiovese foundation from one of the most prestigious sites in central Italy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Col d\u0026#39;Orcia is one of the most historic estates in Montalcino: The Franceschi family purchased the property in 1890, and in 1933 they presented their Brunello wines at one of Italy\u0026#39;s first wine fairs in Siena.
