Q

What is the climate in Brunello di Montalcino?

A

The climate is mostly Mediterranean, benefits from western marine air currents. Due to Montalcino’s inland position and proximity to the Apennine Mountain range, there are some continental influences. It’s location, coupled with elevation, create significant diurnal temperature swings. The frequent winds and breezes help mitigate humidity and reduce risk of fungal disease. CLimate is mild and dry, lack of summer rainfall promotes a beneficial vegetative slowdown that allows the vines to focus on the ripening process.
