The wine

Brunello di Montalcino 2019: The Soul of Donatella Cinelli Colombini

Imagine yourself in the heart of Tuscany, where the sun caresses the hills and every sip tells a story. This Brunello di Montalcino 2019, from Donatella Cinelli Colombini's estate, is an invitation to a sensory journey, a pure expression of its terroir and of the vision of a passionate woman.

Montalcino: A Terroir of Excellence and a Feminine Heritage

Montalcino, this blessed land of Tuscany, is the birthplace of this exceptional wine. Donatella Cinelli Colombini's estate stands out for its meticulous selection of Sangiovese Grosso, cultivated with deep respect for nature. The vines, ideally exposed, enjoy perfect sunshine and soils that give the wine complexity and a robust structure, anchoring each bottle in the heritage of this prestigious appellation.

Visually, this Brunello displays a deep ruby red color, which evolves toward garnet over time. On the nose, it unfolds a complex and seductive bouquet, where notes of ripe red fruits, such as cherry and plum, intermingle with nuances of spices, leather, tobacco and a delicate touch of chocolate. On the palate, you will discover a well-balanced tannic texture, paired with a persistent freshness and remarkable balance. This wine is the result of fermentation in steel tanks, followed by a long maceration, and aging of at least five years, partly in oak barrels, which refines its intense aromas and distinctive character.

At the table: The perfect pairing for your Tuscan evenings

To fully appreciate this Brunello di Montalcino, I recommend proper decanting before serving. It pairs wonderfully with intense dishes: think of roasted red meats, game or aged cheeses. It is the ideal companion for an evening with friends, a romantic dinner or simply to treat yourself, savoring every moment of this high-level wine experience.

A 2019 from Donatella Cinelli Colombini is seriously serious business: be sure to decant it a good two hours ahead to let its Sangiovese Grosso open up alongside a well-aged pecorino!
