Winery - Donatella Cinelli Colombini
* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Here is a thick and succulent expression of Brunello di Montalcino with a generous and immediately friendly disposition. The wine is soft, smooth and satisfying with firm tannins and a full delivery of blackberry, cherry and spice.

Here is a solid, well-made wine with New World aromas of cherry, blackberry jam, vanilla and chocolate-espresso fudge. The wine is intensely soft and plush in the mouth with long coffee-like flavors.

When Donatella Colombini left the family estate of Fattoria dei Barbi, she set up her own production network at Fattoria del Casato. Here she has made an elegant 1997 Brunello, brimming with black tar and cherries, and balanced ripe, sweet tannins and acidity. While it is not powerful, it is smooth, ripe and seductive.

Cinelli Colombini’s Prime Donne Brunello offers generous and succulent characteristics followed by integrated aromas of blackberry, ripe cherry, mesquite wood, exotic spice, tobacco and chocolate powder. The wine is smooth and rich with a slight hint of sweetness that translates into vanilla and coffee flavors on the close. Drink after 2014.

Here’s a meaty and ripe Brunello Riserva with aromas of mature fruit, leather, tar and smoked ham or bacon. The wine is plush and full with enormous intensity and persistency. It’s also beautifully smooth in the mouth and although it already drinks well now, you could cellar it ten years or more.

You don’t get to taste the Foglia Tonda variety often. This blend sees 35% FT, with the rest being Sangiovese. The wine is rich in cherry and vanilla nuances.

Nice and sweet to the nose, with black fruit, ample body and modest tannins awaiting. This wine isn’t hard to like; it’s chewy and full, with simple, clean flavors.

A unique treat from a winery managed by women only. It offers a delicate nose with dried oregano, floral notes, cedar wood, mint candy and dark cherries. Lively and intense in the mouth and tightly framed by a compact structure and soft wood tones. Beautiful, tingly sensation in the mouth that lasts a very long time.

A wine in which the grapes were selected by four women, hence the name. This version is more ripe and chewy than the normale, and it exhibits plum, raisin, chocolate and licorice aromas and flavors. Very nice in its own right, but not quite as balanced and upright as the basic wine. Also, there’s more barrique influence here. Imported by Supreme Wines & Spirits.

The brilliant ruby color conveys density, and the bouquet is deliciously smooth. The palate exhibits fine integration of oak, tannin and ripe berry flavors, while the mouthfeel is nothing if not heavenly. With appropriate oak and extract, it flows in rich, creamy style. Warm, meaty and wickedly good. Imported by Supreme Wines & Spirits.
