Collemattoni Brunello di Montalcino 2017

Drink it now or cellar for up to 20 years. It is recommended to decant it for an hour.

Founded in 1983, the Collemattoni winery, led by Marcello Bucci since 1998, is located in Sant’Angelo in Colle, in the southwest quadrant of the Brunello appellation. The company owns 11 hectares planted with vineyards, conducted organically. The vineyard plots are distributed in various areas of the Montalcino appellation, at different heights and with different exposures.

Sangiovese grapes grow on sandy-clayey soil with fossils and marls. After a soft pressing of the grapes, the must is fermented in steel at a controlled temperature and then left to macerate on the skins for about 20-25 days to favor maximum extraction. The finished wine is aged for a minimum of 30 months in Slavonian oak barrels and then refined for another 4 months in the bottle.

Collemattoni's Brunello di Montalcino has a bright red color with typical garnet red reflections. Aged in large wooden barrels, it reveals an intense aromatic profile of blackberries and morello cherry accompanied by hints of spices and tobacco. In the mouth, the wine reveals a solid structure and a strong tannic texture. The fruity flavors are concentrated and show considerable length. Perfect with red meat and pasta with game sauces.
