The very varied terroir of Montalcino does not allow great generalisations, but we can certainly consider the warm and sunny area of ​​Sant'Angelo in Colle less penalised than others in such bizarre years as 2014. The Brunello by Marcello Bucci aka Collemattoni tells it well: fruity and smoky vigour, it combines power and substance.Gambero Rosso (Feb 2019)

Mellow dried cherries and earthy, leathery notes lead to a wine that has a smooth, central focus of dried cherries and soft, supple tannins. Light and approachable. Drink now. Drinking range: 2019 - James Suckling, www.jamessuckling.com (Feb 2019)

Collemattoni

This is a tiny seven hectare estate 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). Marcello Bucci, who studied oenology under Signora Fuligni (Roberto Fuligni's aunt), 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.
