Il Colle wines express Brunello's original force and structure without the lifeless severity of certain traditionalists or the luxurious anonymity of some modernists. They are a testament to the Montalcino slopes, Giulio Gambelli's simple insight and clarity, and Caterina Carli's dedication.
- Winemaker: Caterina Carli
- Variety: Sangiovese Grosso
- Farming Practice: Certified organic
- Terroir: Rocky gravel over Albarese, Galestro, and sand.
- Vinification Practice: native yeast, destemmed, long maceration
- Aging: 40 months in 3000 and 5000L Slavonian oak barrels. 1 year in bottle.
- Tasting Note: Intense and brilliant ruby red color with a slightly garnet hue at the nail. On the nose, notes of blueberry, currant, and dog rose are distinguishable. Following these, there are spicy hints of licorice, helichrysum, and juniper. On the palate, it confirms richness and elegance with a very fine tannic structure. With its extraordinary silky richness, the wine fully reflects the vintage. If well preserved, the bottle can maintain a longevity of 50 years.
