ColleMassari is the largest estate of the Montecucco appellation. The vineyards are located on the Montecucco hill that gives name to the appellation. The vines on the Montecucco hill are the oldest Sangiovese vines of the DOCG.
Rigoleto is the name of a river inside the property. Montecucco is located between Montalcino, and Scansano, and benefits from microclimates similar to both of those regions. The Castello ColleMassari winery is located in Cinigiano in the foothills of Monte Amiata, about 1050ft above sea level.
The fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats with never too high temperatures to
preserve the most of the fresh and varietal aromatic expression. The wine is aged for 15
months in steel tanks and a small part in barrels.
Pleasant impact on the nose, where fresh, vinous and balsamic notes of cherry and menthol aromas stand out. The taste is fresh, soft and inviting and with sweet and enveloping tannins.
