Il Colle IL COLLE Brunello di Montalcino 2021

Description

The 2021 Colle Brunello di Montalcino tastes like a fine, honest, and refined Sangiovese. A wine that whispers rather than flexes its muscles—at times reserved—it unleashes all its energy to those who are patient enough to let it unfold in the glass.

Il Colle is located in the northern part of Montalcino, on the road leading to Torrenieri, but some of the vineyards are also in the southern part of Montalcino, not far from Castelnuovo dell’Abate, for a total of 7 hectares of vineyards. The winery was founded in 1972 when Alberto Carli purchased it from the Galsassi family; he enlisted Giulio Gambelli—a master taster and undisputed expert on Sangiovese—as his consultant. Today, Alberto’s daughter, Caterina Carli, is at the helm of Il Colle, producing wines according to the guidelines of the late Giulio.

Al Il Colle si lavora nel modo più naturale possibile, la produzione d’uva è di 40/50 q.li per ettaro, in cantina il vino fermenta spontaneamente con i lieviti naturali, lunghi tempi di macerazione, nessun filtraggio e invecchiamento in botti di rovere di Slavonia.
