2023 Collemattoni - Rosso di Montalcino DOC (750ml)

Aged twelve months in traditional Slavonian oak casks, the 2023 Collemattoni Rosso di Montalcino DOC delivers a fresh, food-focused expression of 100 percent Sangiovese.

Sourced from family vineyards in Sant’Angelo in Colle, the grapes thrive on galestro-rich clay and limestone soils between 350 and 420 meters elevation. Cultivated organically under the guidance of winemaker Marcello Bucci, the must ferments in temperature-controlled steel before resting in neutral barrels that prioritize terroir transparency over oak influence.

This well-balanced vintage opens with bright notes of wild cherry, ripe raspberry, and dried rosemary, transitioning to savory licorice and cracked peppercorn on the mid-palate. Soft tannins frame juicy red plum and brambled berry flavors, leading to a clean, mineral-accented finish designed for near-term enjoyment without sacrificing structural integrity.

Complement the wine’s approachable acidity and medium body with direct-grilled pork chops, herb-marinated Italian sausages, or simple pasta tossed in a slow-reduced tomato sauce. Each 750ml bottle adheres to strict Montalcino DOC regulations, offering predictable vintage character rooted in the sun-drenched hills of southern Tuscany.
