The Brunello di Montalcino DOCG by Donatella Cinelli Colombini is one of the jewels of Italian viticulture, originating from the historic region of Tuscany. This wine is made exclusively from Sangiovese grapes, cultivated in the clay-rich and galestro-laden soils typical of the Montalcino area, which give the wine a robust structure and exceptional aging potential.
Donatella Cinelli Colombini's Brunello di Montalcino is distinguished by its fermentation and maturation process, which takes place in large oak barrels for a period that can exceed thirty-six months, followed by further refinement in the bottle. This process helps to create a wine of impressive aromatic complexity, blending notes of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and plums, with hints of tobacco, leather, and delicate spices.
Visually, the Brunello has a deep ruby red color, which tends to garnet as it ages. On the palate, it is rich and persistent, characterized by well-structured tannins and a perfect balance between acidity and alcohol, making it an ideal companion for rich dishes such as roasted meats, game, and aged cheeses.
Serving this wine between 18 and 20 degrees Celsius will allow you to fully appreciate its range of flavors and aromatics. Considered one of the finest examples of Brunello di Montalcino, it is a wine that promises to evolve and improve further, if properly stored in a cellar.
Purchasing Donatella Cinelli Colombini's Brunello di Montalcino DOCG is not just choosing a wine, but an enduring and evolving tasting experience that leaves a lasting impression.
