Jancis Robinson commented upon the 2008 vintage as being ' Very rude but fun and rudely fruity'. The 2009 is altogether brighter and crunchier, but still has that rather lovely 'rude' edge to it, giving this Montalcino Sangiovese such great character. L&S (Aug 2011)

This is a mini-Brunello in all but name, a Tusacn rosso made from pure Sangiovese, or Prugnolo as the locals call it in this neck of the Tuscan woods, its bright fruit showing a cherryish fruit quality with a lively fresh bite and supple textured tannins and a rather deliciously seductive veneer of subtle oak.

Rich and rewarding and very fluid. Ambitious rather gamey red wine rather than classic Montalcino. 2012-2016 Rating: 16 Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Nov 2011)

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.
