Il Colle Brunello di Montalcino 2015
Our Brunello comes from a careful selection of our vineyards’ best bunches. The grapes coming from the northern part (Colle) are guaranteed to give the wine elegance, freshness, minerality and floral notes. These characteristics blend harmoniously with the main features of the grapes coming from the south (Castelnuovo): structure, power and colour. It takes absolute cleanliness, time (at last… everything goes so fast these days!), patience (quite a lot of it) and curiosity to watch something grow up, simply standing next to it with great care, without ever wanting it different from what it is.

Colour

Intense and brilliant ruby red colourwith a slight garnet rim.

Bouquet

Notes of red and black berries such as strawberry, raspberry, currant, blueberry and blackberry are predominant to the nose, with hints of black cherry. The aroma is then followed by elegant floral notes, which tend to blend with spicy notes on the finish, thanks to the long ageing in wooden casks. Leather, cinnamon, pepper, tobacco and chocolate are noticeable at this stage.

Flavour

The palate is rich, warm, enveloping, tannic and harmonious. Long persistence. A well-balanced suite of tannins is attributable to the fine-grained wood in which the ageing took place, on top of an already excellent vintage.

Il Colle
From this winery:

My parents, my sister and I were all born and raised in Siena. My father was a notary and purchased il Colle in 1972, which has been our holiday home ever since. The first three hectares of vineyards were planted in the same year, and I still take ca...
