Fattoria Del Pino Brunello 2015

Jessica Pellegrini of Fattoria Del Pino is a rising star in Montalcino. Her Winery was born in 2000, two years after her father Nerio purchased 7 heactares of land in the Montosoli Cru. She produces lovely, elegant wines from her small plot in the grand cru of Montosoli - in northern Montalcino. The vineyards are planted mid-hill on marl, clay, limestone, and sandstone soils. She farms the vines organically;Mild temperatures, proper ventilation and carefully selected grapes are hand-picked to produce graceful wines that are expressive of the terroir. In the winery, Jessica is a minimalist, using traditional methods. Alcoholic fermentation occurs spontaneously triggered by indeigenous yeasts with medium-long fermentation aided by the wind and temperature of the season for twenty-five days. The wines are aged in large neutral 900-gallon casks in the cellar waiting for the deposits to settle naturally.
