Review:

"Good full ruby-red. Inviting aromas of red cherry pie, black cherry, sweet spices, mocha and dried herbs. Densely packed and silky, displaying superb intensity to the high-pitched red cherry and berry flavors. This sexy, velvety wine offers terrific lift and sappiness, but has a very firm spine of noble tannins and lively acids that leaves a lingering impression of a classic Brunello. Lush and very long, this beauty is already irresistible now. - Ian D'Agata"

Collemattoni takes its name from the farmhouse, which, over time, has become the trademark of our winery and of our wines. The farmhouse dates back to at least 1672, year in which it is registered in the parish archives as a family home. 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.

Winery Philosophy: Marcello Bucci , winemaker and owner of Collemattoni winery represents the soul of this estate and this project.

He studied winemaking in Siena and after some internship in some wineries in Montalcino where he had the opportunity to work with famous winemakers and agronomists, he convinced his father Ado to start his own project .

Today Marcello is the heart of Collemattoni! Thanks to his passion and initiative Marcello continues his daily work amongst his vineyards and the wine cellar.

At the beginning of 1980, Adon Bucci ( father of Marcello Bucci) bought the land and the farm house from the Church and the Bucci family started to produce wine. The 1988 has been the first vintage of Collemattoni Brunello di Montalcino.
