The Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG by Donatella Cinelli Colombini is a true gem in the Italian wine scene, known and appreciated worldwide for its extraordinary elegance and complexity. Produced in the renowned area of Montalcino in Tuscany, this reserve wine is made only in the best vintages, exclusively using Sangiovese grapes.
The grapes for this prestigious Brunello come from carefully selected vineyards, where viticulture is practiced using sustainable methods, respecting the environment and preserving the terroir. After harvesting, the grapes undergo slow fermentation and extended maceration to extract deep colors and robust tannins. The wine matures for at least two years in oak barrels of varying capacities, followed by additional months in the bottle before being marketed.
Visually, the Brunello di Montalcino Riserva boasts a deep and intense ruby red color. On the nose, it features complex notes of ripe red fruits, spices, chocolate, and hints of tobacco and leather, a testament to its elegant aging in oak. On the palate, the wine offers a rich and robust structure, supported by silky tannins and a harmonious balance that leads to a long and lingering finish.
Best served at a temperature of 18-20°C, this Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is an ideal pairing for structured dishes such as roasted red meats, game, and aged cheeses. Its refinement also makes it perfect as a contemplative wine. A true expression of the Montalcino terroir, this wine has great aging potential and can be stored in the cellar for many years, further developing its complexity and sophistication.
