Vineyards
The grapes for this wine come from the heart of Montalcino, on 20 acres of family-owned vines situated both on a 1,000-foot hill on north side of the city (near the Montosoli Zone) and on the southeast side (in the East Zone). One of the coolest growing areas in the appellation at moderate 1,150 feet above sea level. The soil on the north side is rocky clay, with excellent exposure to the sun and many stones, while the soil on the south side is clay with sandy soil of good drainage.
Winemaking
After careful selection of the hand-picked grapes, fermentation takes place with maceration for 20 days in stainless steel vats at controlled temperatures between 78.8° F – 86° F. The wine then spends 36 months in 3000-liter Slavonian oak casks. The combination of great passion for winemaking of the Cortonesi family, the high altitude, diversity of soils and traditional winemaking process gives to the La Mannella Brunello di Montalcino great finesse, elegance, and immense aging potential.
