Once in the cellar, the selected grapes were gently destemmed and softly pressed. The
fermentation and the period of skin contact with the must took place in temperature controlled
stainless steel tanks and lasted for a period of 10-15 days at temperatures which ranged from 82°
to 86° Fahrenheit (28-30° centigrade). The malolactic fermentation took place partly in oak barrels
and partly in stainless steel tanks and terminated in both cases by the end of the year. At this point
the Cabernet Sauvignon was blended together with the Merlot and Syrah and the wine went back
into the small oak barrels, where it remained for an additional seven months before being bottled.
The 2016 Il Bruciato was given four months of bottle aging before commercial release
