"This red combines power and elegance, with bright acidity and dense tannins. Cherry and plum fruit are accented by leather, tobacco and mineral as this glides to a lingering conclusion. Shows fine balance, with a tealike finish. Best from 2020 through 2035."

La Colombina is a quaint, family-operated estate spanning approximately 3 hectares, all officially recognized within the Brunello di Montalcino DOCG. The vineyards are strategically situated across various points in the Castelnuovo dell'Abate region, each imparting distinct characteristics to the grapes. Factors such as exposure (south/south-east), altitude (200/400 meters above sea level), soil composition (featuring detritus with a deep active layer in the valley and a mixed consistency, leaning towards clay, enriched with heavy stones on the hills), prevailing winds (consistent sea breezes), and the overall climate contribute to the unique terroir.
In the cellar, meticulous attention is given to managing processes that alleviate stress resulting from the movement of both grapes and wine. The entire journey culminates with the storage of the finalized bottles in boxes and/or crates, all meticulously maintained at a consistently controlled temperature.
It's important to remember that taste is subjective, and personal preferences play a significant role.
