Winery Donatella Cinelli Colombini

The family has been connected to the hills of southern Siena for centuries: parts of the estates date back to the 16th century and Fattoria del Colle returned to the family in 1919. In recent years Donatella Cinelli Colombini has relaunched the properties, grouping them under her name and opening the modern facilities of Fattoria del Colle and Casato Prime Donne in the early 2000s. On the estate's website and in official materials, milestones such as the renovation of the vineyards, the opening of the cellars and the recognitions she has received over the course of her career are mentioned.

The estate combines a long-standing tradition with modern cellar practices, highlighting local grape varieties and careful farming. It promotes wine tourism through agritourism accommodation, cooking classes and tasting experiences. It is also known for recovering abandoned native varieties and for its strong focus on the visitor experience.

The main activities are based in Tuscany: Casato Prime Donne is located in Montalcino and Fattoria del Colle in Trequanda, in the area between Val d'Orcia and the Chianti/Orcia DOC. Both estates host vineyards, historic cellars and hospitality facilities offering tours, tastings and wine-and-food stays.

Among the awards the winery has received are the Oscar Bibenda and the Premio Internazionale Vinitaly.
