The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino from Collemattoni impresses with an expression of purity, showing wild strawberries with hints of green stems and nuances of sweet spice. It’s a soft and enveloping effort with a core of bright, juicy acids, which bring its red and black berry fruits to life. While youthfully dry and structured, this never loses momentum, tapering off to pretty inner florals.

The wine cellar is an enchanting place from where the majestic countryside that extends from Sant’Angelo in Colle to the sea can be admired.
Collemattoni takes its name from the farmhouse, which, over time, has become the trademark of our winery and of our wines.
Collemattoni is located on a hill top on the south side of the municipal area of Montalcino, just a short distance from the village of Sant’Angelo in Colle. The Collemattoni farmhouse dates back to the end of the XVII century.
The first record of the Bucci family dates to the end of 1800 with Giuseppe Bucci «Zappaterra» (Digger), head of a large family.
Today, the estate is run by Marcello Bucci focusing on a winemaking philosophy that allows for technology but in a style that comes from belonging to the place and respect for the area.
Thanks to the presence of a biomass fuelled heating system and solar panels, Collemattoni produces the 80% of the electricity needed at the winery. Inside the estate there are also rainwater recovery pipes.
Maturation: It ages for a minimum of 30 months in Slavonian oak barrels of 32 Hl. Then other 4 months in the bottle for refining
