Notes | |||
"The 2018 Donatella Cinelli Colombini Brunello di Montalcino is a billant ruby red. The aromas are very rich, fine and complex with references to spices, small red fruits and some more exotic suggestions. Structured, well balanced with silky tannins and freshness and pleasant long finish." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"An elegant, balanced nose has layers of umami flavor, with wild herbs, crushed rock, tar, mushrooms, balsamic vinegar and mixed spices. Deeper notes of macerated berries and dark chocolate then roll from the nose onto the palate, before a peppery finish that lingers with warmth. Banville Wine Merchants." —Wine Enthusiast "A certified organic wine, the Donatella Cinelli Colombini 2018 Brunello di Montalcino (with 34,000 bottles made) leans toward a slightly more robust personality with lasting texture and flavor concentration. The vintage remains open-knit and largely accessible, thanks in part to its velvety mouthfeel and dried fruit nuances. You get lots of dried cherry and blackcurrant with grilled herb and crushed rose. There is a pleasant tannic firmness to give the wine more volume, and the acidity also plays a big role in underlining the wine's length." —Wine Advocate |
