Collemattoni Rosso do Montalcino 2020

A defining traditional Brunello producer, Collemattoni’s wines offer a magical tension of lightness and power, pure fruit and earthy/meaty/herbal savouriness. Made from 100% Sangiovese and aged for 14 months in Slovenian oak, the ageing has burred some of Sangiovese’s angular structure, without sacrificing any brightness or energy. Tangy and pure with fruits of blackberry, cassis, cherry and plum, interwoven with herbs, cured meat and smoke. Very deep and broad, it’s breadth sleek, mouthwatering and refreshing. But like so many of these wines, its the tannins that set them apart. Always present, adding shape, flavour, texture and grip. They’re fine, persistent and brutally firm. Absolute bargain, in a region known for silly prices and overblown wines made for the critics. Waters Wine Co

“Dusted cranberries, racy plums and roasted spices follow through to a medium-bodied palate with firm, nicely chewy tannins and a juicy finish. A savory and elegant Rosso. Well made. Drink in the next 3-4 years.” 91 Points – Jamessuckling.com
