AA COLLEMATTONI Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2016
🍷 Collemattoni Brunello di Montalcino DOCG
Origin & Terroir
Crafted on a hilltop in Sant’Angelo in Colle (1,000–1,200 ft altitude), within sandy‑clay marl soils studded with fossils.
100% Sangiovese Grosso; grapes destemmed, gently fermented in stainless steel with extended skin contact and delestage; aged 30 months in Slavonian/Slovenian oak casks plus 4–6 months in bottle before release.
Certified organic since around 2011–2013 .
Appearance & Aroma
Brilliant ruby‑red with burgundy highlights.
Aromas of wild black fruits, black cherry, sometimes bright plum notes; plus smoke, vanilla, cedar, pipe tobacco, and sweet spices.
Palate & Texture
Medium‑to‑full body, warm, dry, persistent, structured around polished, powdery tannins.
Flavors drift from dark berries to leather, clove, cedar, with echoes of tobacco, dried herbs, and elegant mineral streaks .
Scoring & Age-Worthiness
Outstanding reviews include Decanter’s 97 pts (2018 vintage), James Suckling’s 95 pts (2016), JS 93 pts (2017) ().
Still fresh and cellar-worthy: “powerful, yet elegant, with poise and grace… will continue developing for at least another decade”.
Food Pairing
Ideal with roasted meats, game, braised dishes, hearty bolognese, and mature cheeses like Pecorino.
