The Brunello di Montalcino DOCG produced by Donatella Cinelli Colombini is a superb example of red wine, famous not only in Italy but around the world for its excellence and refined complexity. This wine is exclusively made from Sangiovese grapes, carefully selected from vineyards located in the prestigious area of Montalcino, in the heart of Tuscany.
The winemaking process adheres to rigorous quality standards, with slow and controlled fermentation that preserves all the natural aromas of the grapes. Afterwards, the wine ages for at least four years, with at least two of those years in oak barrels, acquiring the woody and spicy notes that characterize it.
Visually, it presents a deep ruby red color with garnet reflections. The olfactory bouquet is broad and complex, with aromas of ripe red fruits like cherries and plums, enriched by nuances of tobacco, chocolate, and a subtle balsamic note. On the palate, the structure is robust yet balanced, with silky tannins and a persistent finish that leaves room for memories of spices and dark berries.
The Brunello di Montalcino DOCG by Donatella Cinelli Colombini is an elegant and sophisticated wine, ideal to pair with dishes of roasted red meat, game, and aged cheeses. It is also a wine that can benefit from long aging in the cellar, developing over time even greater complexity and depth. This makes it perfect as a meditation wine or for celebrating special occasions.
