2015 Le Macioche Cotarella - Brunello di Montalcino Riserva - 3 Bottiglie (0,75 L)

2015 VINTAGE
2015 was a great vintage. The winter and spring precipitations,
capable of guaranteeing the accumulation of good water reserves
in the soil, alternated with sunny and windy days that allowed a
rapid and homogeneous growth of the bunches in the months of
May and June. A generally hot summer favored the regular
development of the grapes. The north wind and the temperate
climate of September allowed to conclude the ripening in an
optimal way.

rows known for their quality.
