2019L’Aietta,BrunellodiMontalcino‘Alberelli’,Tuscany,Italy

<p>L’Aietta has two different vineyard sites: L’Aietta and Castelnuovo. L’Aietta is terracedwith century old dry walls and the vines are trained with the Gobelet method. The soilsof the L’Aietta are sandy with westward exposure. Most of the vines were planted in2004. The cellar at L’Aietta is very small, the smallest in Montalcino. There isn’t much inthe way of equipment or technology, just some tanks and barrels. The secret is justhaving beautiful fruit and passion.</p><p>Francesco ferments the juice from his two vineyards separately using native yeasts insteel tanks without temperature control and then ages in five or ten hectoliter Slavonianoak casks. The wine experiences no fining or filtering. All the winemaking and farmingis done by Francesco by himself, possible due to his extremely small production. </p>
