A MEMORABLE VINTAGE

In 2016, the growing season—the “pregnancy” of the grapes—began early and ended late, as weather conditions slowed ripening during the final stage. This resulted in a true masterpiece from the

Casato Prime Donne vineyards: perfect grapes that yielded an incredibly elegant and satisfying Brunello—silky like heavy velvet, profound, and built to stand the test of time.

🎁 Receive a complimentary wine sleeve featuring the Donatella Cinelli Colombini winery logo; it protects your bottle when visiting friends or family, ensuring it travels safely in your bag or suitcase.

CASATO PRIME DONNE

Casato Prime Donne is a 40-hectare estate, with nearly half the land planted with Sangiovese vines. It is organically farmed, a certification held since 2018. Donatella Cinelli Colombini’s estate has been in her family since 1592. It is located in the northern part of Montalcino, an area characterized by a cooler climate and soils that are cooler and rich in clay.

Cultivation and harvesting are carried out by hand. Shortly before full ripeness, the grapes are tasted to divide the vineyards into small plots with uniform characteristics and to determine the harvest schedule. The area with the greatest quality potential is designated for the production of Brunello Riserva

Characteristics of the 2016 Vintage

• Climate and growing season: The first half of 2016 saw heavy rainfall, preventing water stress in the vines; ripening proceeded at a steady, “snail’s pace” thanks to cool nights and sunny summer days.
• Harvest: Hand-picked; the clusters and berries were small, and the grape yield was below average but perfectly healthy.

FOOD PAIRING

Braised beef in Brunello di Montalcino is the ideal dish to highlight the complex structure, elegant tannins, and tertiary aromas of the 2016 Brunello Prime Donne and Brunello Riserva.

Recipe for Chianina Beef Braised in Brunello

 

Ingredients for 4–6 people

 

1 kg Chianina beef

3 carrots

2 celery stalks

1 onion

3 cloves

Bay leaf

1 bottle of Brunello di Montalcino

Light vegetable broth

Oil, salt, and pepper to taste

 

Instructions

 

Marinate the meat with the coarsely chopped vegetables, wine, bay leaf, pepper, and a little water; let it rest for 24 hours. Afterward, drain the vegetables; place them in a saucepan with a layer of oil and sauté until golden. Then, add the meat and brown it well.

Gradually pour in the reserved marinade liquid, alternating with the broth, and cook slowly, covered, for about two hours.

 

Once the meat is cooked, transfer it to a serving platter and keep it warm. Puree the vegetables—incorporating the cooking juices to create a sauce—and spoon this over the slices before serving.
