Alcoholic fermentation is followed by malolactic fermentation in barriques in temperature controlled areas. For the first 12-14 months, the varieties age separately in French oak barriques. They are then blended and aged as a cuvée for an additional 8 to 10 months. Bottle-aging follows for at least 6 months. The wine is left unfiltered to retain its subtle nuances of plum, black currant and cedar.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Castello Banfi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44632690819296,"sku":"120828","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/products\/castello-banfi-excelsus-sant-antimo_1.jpg?v=1705525608","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/castello-banfi-excelsus-santantimo-2017-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
