Wine description

The Il Colle's Brunello di Montalcino is a blend of the grapes coming from the two vineyards located one in the north-east side (Loc. Il Colle) and the second one in the south-east side (Loc. Podernovo dei Campi). One of the jewels in Montalcino's original growing area, it's the result of a traditional procedure and a strict manual selection of the grapes that give to this wine a great authenticity. Annual production of about 25,000 bottles.
