ColleMassari Description
ColleMassari is owned byt the same group as the famous Brunello di Montalcino producer, Poggio di Sotto. Poggio di Sotto is on the same quaity level as Biondi Santi. The Sangiovese clonal variation at Poggio di Sotto was more diverse than any other Brunello producer. The Sangiovese in ColleMassari is from these vineyards. Poggio di Sotto gave life to Montecucco at ColleMassari. These are great wines. Worth seeking, drinking and understanding.
Wine Pairing: Roasts and braises, game, and aged cheeses

The 2018 Rosso Montecucco Riserva is deep and savory in the glass; sage underbrush notes complement a mix of black cherry and plum. This fleshes across the palate with a pleasing mix of silky textures and ripe red fruits. Savory herbal notes come forward and add gravitas toward the close. The 2018 tapers off with a flourish of inner sweetness as licorice and spice slowly fade. I'm impressed by the depth here, considering the difficulties of the vintage. The Riserva is a sexy blend of 80% Sangiovese and 10% Ciliegiolo and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon.
