In the south of the Italian municipality of Montalcino lies the Collosorbo winery, Tenuta di Collosorbo. The traditional family business has existed in Tuscany since 1850.
Tenuta di Collosorbo - Italian woman power
One of the best wines in Italy is bottled here: Brunello di Montalcino. It was first produced at Tenuta di Collosorbo in 1966 by Guiseppe Ciacci. in 1955, as part of an inheritance, the company was spun off and passed to Giovanna Ciacci. She continues to run the company with the support of oenologist Laura Sutera Sardo Lucia Sutera Sardo and inspires with red wines that meet the highest standards.
Dedicated to wine
The winery is also one of the most famous in Italy. This is due in no small part to its female power, sense of tradition and abundant expertise. Traditional grapes are grown on a total of 27 hectares, which are responsible for the noble taste of Brunello di Montalcino and Rosso di Montalcino. The slopes have an altitude of 200 to 400 meters and are mostly still cultivated by hand. The Tenuta di Collosorbo does not use machines as much as possible, so that the grapes are treated gently. Three women are responsible for giving the greatest possible care to the wines, because they live for their wines AND their region.
The two stars of Tenuta Di Collosorbo
The red wine Brunello di Montalcino knows how to delight with its cherry, cassis and herbal aromas. It is not only a great red wine, but also a legend. Wine experts are enthusiastic about the outstanding quality and get the highest scores when evaluating the wines. The same applies to the powerful red wine Rosso di Montalcino of Tenuta di Collosorbo. The particularly delicate fruit aromas and strong flavor are very similar to Brunello, as the same grape variety is used for production. However, here the younger vines of the native grape variety Sangiovese Grosso are allowed to show their skills. They ripen in young oak tanks, leave an impressive ruby red in the glass and exude an aroma consisting of cherries, wild berries and even some chocolate.
The grape varieties of Collosorbo are:
- Sangiovese Grosso
