24 months in oak, released 1 January 2021: the 2016 under the disciplinare
A 2016 Brunello could not be released for sale before 1 January 2021, because the rules count five years from the harvest year. The wine must be 100% Sangiovese, age at least 24 months in oak containers of any size and rest at least 4 months in bottle. Vinification, ageing and bottling must all take place inside the production zone.
Grapes must reach at least 12.00% natural alcohol, with a maximum yield of 8 t/ha. When a vineyard (“vigna”) is named on the label, the figures become 12.50% and 7 t/ha, with no enrichment allowed.
At release the wine must have at least 12.50% total alcohol, 5.0 g/l total acidity and 26.0 g/l non-reducing extract. The label must state the vintage.
Montalcino: 243.62 km², 120–650 m, about 700 mm of rain
The production zone is the whole commune of Montalcino in Tuscany, about 40 km south of Siena. The territory rises from about 120 m along the Orcia, Asso and Ombrone valleys to about 650 m at Poggio Civitella. Soils are sandstone, alberese and galestro. The disciplinare describes the climate as Mediterranean and tending to dry, with about 700 mm of rain a year.
