Collosorbo Brunello di Montalcino 2003
Introduction
Collosorbo Brunello di Montalcino 2003 is a powerful red wine from Tuscany, Italy. Tenuta di Collosorbo was founded in 1995 by Giovanna Ciacci following the division of her family’s historic Tenuta di Sesta estate, which has been in the Ciacci family since 1850. Today, Giovanna runs the winery alongside her daughters, Laura and Lucia Sutera Sardo, who serve as the oenologist and agronomist respectively. The winery's philosophy is rooted in a minimalist approach that respects the terroir and the rhythm of nature, utilizing organic farming and manual operations to preserve the essence of the Sangiovese grape.
Wine Description
This 100% Sangiovese displays a deep ruby colour with darker, garnet flashes. The aromatic profile is unusually powerful for this vintage, revealing brooding scents of smoke, tar, toasted oak, and earthiness, alongside robust notes of candied cherry, plum, and tangy spice. On the palate, the wine is compact and full bodied, offering an attractive juiciness and a perfumed inner sweetness. The tannins are soft and velvety, though they maintain a tight, slightly gritty texture that provides significant structure. The wine was fermented with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel and matured in neutral oak foudres within the family's ancient cool cellar.
