Intense ruby red with brilliant burgundy reflects. Bouquet: reminiscent of wild black fruits, vanilla and spices. Taste: dry, warm, austere but velvety; the elegance of this wine, thanks also to its body and structure, makes it a wine for meditation.

All Sangiovese used for this Riserva comes from the single vineyard of Fontelontano. The name “Fontelontano” is linked to the presence of a water source where in the old times people used to get their water for their homes. The Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is produced from this vineyard only in the best vintages.
This wine represents the pick of our production.
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 36 months in French oak barrels of 5 Hl. Then other 18 months in the bottle for refining
