"A selection of pure, ripe Sangiovese fruit from estate Brunello di Montalcino vineyards. Aged in a combination of Slavonian and French oak casks (from 12HL to 54HL) for one year; aged in bottle for eight months prior to release." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"The 2018 Rosso di Montalcino is dark and earthy, showing more depth than I’d expect from an early-drinking Rosso, displaying ripe strawberry mixed with sweet spices, wild herbs, and moist earth-mineral inflections, as the 2018 Collosorbo gains richness in the glass. On the palate, I’m finding silky depths of textural black cherry, as it coasts effortlessly across the senses, turning fleshy and sweeter, as red inner florals build. The finish is long, showing a bit of heat yet all composed, as primary dark red fruits linger, along with sweet spices with a twang of mouthwatering acids to balance it all out." —Vinous "The Collosorbo 2018 Rosso di Montalcino offers an open bouquet that is generous, honest and soft. There is a nice frankness or simplicity to the wine, and that ultimately is its best quality. This Rosso offers good density and richness, making it a good choice for oven-roasted lasagna or ricotta-stuffed pasta shells. There is a hint of ripeness here that recalls sweet or candied cherry. This is a medium-weight red that is not too thin, and certainly not too thick. It's just right for your favorite home-cooked meals. Some 50,000 bottles were released in December 2019." —Wine Advocate |
