Winemaking
The winemaking process involves a number of techniques including cold maceration and hot fermentation. Cold maceration sees the grapes crushed into a stainless steel tank at around 8 degrees celcius so it inhibits the onset of fermentation while keeping the skins and juice in contact with each other for an extended period. This allows some wild ferment characteristics to slowly begin before a Brunelo yeast is added. This type of fermentation results in more fresh, fruity and boiled lolly aromas in the wine. Hot fermentation is where fermentation temperatures are close to 30 degrees, this process adds a chalky texture to the tannins and contributes to the long length and savoury characters that are typical of Pizzini Sangiovese. This wine is aged in a mixture of large format oak barrels and barriques with some batches aged in stainless steel tanks to maintain vibrancy and freshness.
