Col di Lamo Rosso di Montalcino 2021

Intense and clear ruby-red colour with purple hues. The scent is full and persistent, with notes of fresh fruit. Fresh and harmonious in the mouth, with good structure and interesting tannins. Austere, polished and decadent. Aromas of blackberry, cherry, tilled soil, new leather, star anise, and tobacco. Savory & bright!

The blend is made of 100% Sangiovese grapes, vinified through a long maceration on the skins and frequent pumping over at a maximum temperature of 28 degrees, using selected native yeasts for fermentation from the same grapes harvested a few days earlier. The wine ages for a year in Slavonian oak barrels before refining in the bottle for about three months.

Beyond sitting atop some of the most perfectly situated land in the Brunello DOCG and releasing some of the most classic, dusty, silky examples of Sangiovese Grosso you will ever find, Col di Lamo is unique in that from inception founder Gianna Neri’s idea was to create a 100% woman-operated estate, from the vineyards, to the cellar, to sales and administration. The only exception is the dishwasher at the winery cantina (if you are visualizing Gianna and her daughter Diletta laughing about this you are correct).

A law graduate, Giovanna inherited her great passion for wine from her father and today she is an established and sought-after producer. Brunello di Montalcino is a perfect expression of the Montalcino appellation in the Tuscany region, the terroir from which it comes and the methods by which it has been produced. A wine handled with passion and love of the region and traditions.
