Since it cannot be sold before the 5th year (6th for Riserva) you will be able to extend the barrel or the bottle aging until the allowed sale date.<br /><br />Regarding the 100% Sangiovese business, the rule is apparently flouted by 80% of producers, and this is quite "tolerated", though rarely "admitted". In fact, pure Sangiovese makes no sense except for those "vintages of the century" that pop up every decade or so :-)<br /><br />I wrote a little about this here http://www.thewineblog.net/2011-09-brunello-rosso-appellations-montalcino/ <br /><br />cheers Luiz<br /><br />MikeMike Tommasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01797234430153495341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216097425984492529.post-26124792069152699262011-09-10T20:36:43.818-04:002011-09-10T20:36:43.818-04:00Here is the link to buy it Rui:
