Description
Collemattoni’s Riserva is sourced from their Fontelontano Vineyard (.5 ha), located between Sant’Angelo in Colle and Collemattoni at 380 meters above sea level. This vineyard, named for the ancient water source in the area, dates back to 1984 and is the oldest vineyard at Collemattoni. It is made only in the best vintages, and it is one of the few single vineyard Brunello di Montalcino Riservas.
Intense ruby red with brilliant burgundy reflects in color. Reminiscent of wild black fruits, vanilla and spices on the nose. Dry, warm, slightly austere yet velvety in the palate.
