Wine Choices

A wine cellar in Tuscany has a 2015 vintage Brunello di Montalcino wine stacked to age before labeling and distributing for sale.

Brunello di Montalcino is made 100% from Sangiovese. Traditionally, the wines are aged 3 years or more "in botte". Most producers will separate their production between a normale and riserva bottling. The normale bottles are released on the market 50 months after harvest and the riserva are released a year afterward. The current aging requirements were established in 1998 and dictate that Brunellos are to be aged in oak for 2 years and at least 4 months in a bottle before release.[9] Winemakers who intentionally stray from these rules and regulations can possibly receive a conviction of commercial fraud accompanied by an imprisonment sentence of up to six years.[12] (Source from Wikipedia).
