Donatella Cinelli Colombini Brunello Di Montalcino Progetto Prime Donne 2021 750ml

Casato Prime Donne is the only winery in Italy with an all-female staff. The Prime Donne Brunello is the top red wine. Four highly qualified women, including English Master of Wine, Maureen Ashley, meet twice a year to decide the future Brunello Prime Donne. The wine undergoes regular vinification for 15 days with both pumping over and delestages. The wine is aged in small 5-7 hl barrels for the first year, later in 15 hl barrels, and finally in 30-40 hl barrels. The oak stems from forests in the Massif Central. Grape varieties: Sangiovese Grosso Altitude: 225m ASL Vineyard age: 20 years old Grape yield: 4 tons per hectare Exposure: South, Southeast Soil: Pliocene (sedimentary rock) and clay Alcohol: 14% Tasting notes: Intense and deep ruby-red color. A red berry bouquet with hints of vanilla and earth. A richness of fruit and herbs on the palate with complex tannins that leave your mouth clean and ready for more. Powerful yet elegant and complex, with a long, wonderful finish...like a true lady.
