MORE DETAILS ABOUT THE TWO 5 STARS VINTAGE BRUNELLO 2015 AND 2016
The vintages 2015 and 2016 are both 5 star vintages but have very different characters: 2015 was hotter and yielded Brunello that is richer and silkier. In 2016 the vines had a vegetative cycle that lasted 15 days longer than usual with sunny days interrupted by storms and a very slow ripening that has created one of the best Brunello of the century and one of those most apt for cellaring.
Here is a description from Monica Larner for Wine Advocate-Robert Parker on our Brunello 2016:
<<The wines of Donatella Cinelli Colombini are always something of a homecoming for me as I vividly remember my first sips almost 20 years ago. It is a great honour to witness their evolution over all these years. The estate’s winning card is consistency, with steady results delivered year in and year out, although the 2016 Brunello di Montalcino takes the game up a notch. This wine offers purity and brightness to a degree I don’t remember seeing in past vintages. This Brunello fully embraces the sharpness and linearity that this classic vintage will be celebrated for. Red cherry fruit and fresh plum follow to earthy tones, leather and balsam herb.>>
And this is what she says about us:
<<This has been a year of in-home virtual reality, but one event I followed with great interest on Facebook was the fairytale wedding of Enrico and Violante in July. The spirited daughter of Donatella Cinelli Colombini wed on the family’s beautiful Fattoria del Colle property and provided all of us with a much-needed glimpse of humanity and happiness during this surreal year. This space is reserved for estate news, so I could tell you that the Donatella Cinelli Colombini winery enlarged its underground storage space and gained its organic wine certification starting with the 2018 vintage. These are important improvements. However, what I really want to say here is: Congratulations Enrico and Violante, and “evviva gli sposi!>>
