ROSSO DI MONTALCINO

2012 Collemattoni

Grapes Sangiovese
Colour Red
Origin Italy, Tuscany
Sub-district Rosso di Montalcino
ABV 14.5%

Marcello's 'baby Brunello' is deep in colour and packed with ripe fruit. Richly textured and immediately and immensely drinkable. A core of ripe cherry and damson fruit, bags of spice and a silky, weighty feel lifted only by a whisper of acidity that makes it such a gem with food. With all the hallmarks of Montalcino this beautifully made wine represents fantastic value too. L&S (Sept 2014)

Bright dark red. Multidimensional nose delivers raspberry, ripe dark cherry, brown sugar, milk chocolate and black olive. Dense, rich and suave, with creamy flavors of very ripe red and black fruits, pepper and sweet spices given shape and lift by bright, harmonious acidity. Finishes with very fine tannins and outstanding persistence. Superconcentrated, sappy and rich, offering a rare blend of power and delicacy for a Rosso di Montalcino.

Collemattoni

This is a small, 13-hectare estate, spread across the Southwest and Southeast of Montalcino. The winery (and some of these 13 hectares), sits in San Angelo in Colle on the southern side of the hill of Montalcino, nestling above the famous and rather larger Col d'Orcia vineyards (145 hectares). Winemaker Marcello Bucci is making wonderfully good wines which have rapidly increased both in quality and international recognition.

With his new winery now well and truly bedded in Marcello is thriving with the greater control and flexibility he now has - this is an estate going from strength to strength and the wines have a real true imprint of these beautiful rolling hills and Marcello's gentle manner. The wines from these vineyards are fuller and riper perhaps, than Fuligni or Padelletti. However, where there may be less lacy finesse, they more than compensate with indulgent joy, not to mention with their pricing. Collemattoni make some of the best value wines of the region.
