Brunello di Montalcino DOCG, Casato Prime Donne, Donatella Cinelli Colombini

Brunello di Montalcino is produced at Casato Prime Donne winery , where only Sangiovese vines are cultivated. Sangiovese is the grape grown in Montalcino, in Tuscany, for hundreds and maybe thousands of years. Thanks to the climate and the soil, it has taken on specific characteristics and gives a great red wine apt for a long ageing.

Casato Prime Donne, is a property made up of 40 hectares, where is possible to admire also beautiful ancient frescoes with works of contemporary Tuscan artists along the trail through the vineyards, in a special combination of art and wine. The tasting hall of the wine cellar houses the pictures of the ancestors of Donatella Cinelli Colombini, owners of the estate at the end of the 16th century, together with the winning pictures of the photographic section of the Casato Prime Donne Award, in a unique gallery regarding the Val d’Orcia and its wines.
This is a unique winery, where Donatella Cinelli Colombini and the entire female team worked in the vines and in the cellar to bring Brunello back to the original style of the 1970’s: elegant, vertical and with long ageing potential. A Brunello that is “identitary”, one that can tell about the varietal and the terroir, like the one that her grandfather, Giovanni Colombini, one of the pioneers in the Montalcino denomination was producing.
The grape harvest is made by hand during September and October . The vinification is done in small unlined concrete vats, open on top so that the punch down of the skins can be done without the use of pumps. All is carefully done, in a delicate manner and respectful of tradition and the character of the grapes. The wood ageing is done for more than two years in oak barrels, medium and large sized. The result is a very elegant Brunello, complex and harmonious, rich in aroma and very long lasting.
The best food pairing is with aged cheeses and noble meats.
