"La Colombina's 2015 Brunello di Montalcino takes a classic approach with a fine texture and a steady delivery of aromas that grow cautiously in intensity the longer the wine sits in the glass. This Brunello is stitched together carefully with wild and forest fruit aromas that segue to pressed blue flower, spice and light balsam herb. Released five years after the harvest, according to the Brunello appellation rules, this wine has had the time to integrate and smooth out. There are no hard edges here, and the mouthfeel is silky and polished. This is a classic expression of Brunello that ages in oak for 36 months."
93 points - Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, Jan 2020
"A supple, juicy version, revealing macerated cherry, sandalwood, tobacco and iron flavors. The bright acidity is matched to well-integrated tannins, giving this red a harmonious feel. Offers a fine, mouthwatering finish."

La Colombina
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.
