The Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is made using pure Sangiovese. The vines are cultivated using the spurred cordon system, both single and double, and the harvest is carried out in stages, reaching up to three passes among the rows to select only the healthiest bunches. A soft crushing and destemming is performed, and the must obtained ferments in stainless steel spontaneously thanks to the presence of indigenous yeasts, macerating with frequent pump-overs. The subsequent aging is carried out in large French oak barrels for 42 months, and then, after bottling, the wine remains to mature for another 13 months directly in glass.
The Collosorbo Brunello di Montalcino Riserva presents itself visually with an intense ruby color, characterized by reflections that tend more towards garnet at the rim.

On the palate, it is of excellent body, stern and massive, with a balanced and round sip that envelops the palate with elegance. It finishes with a finale characterized by excellent persistence. A label that, for the Tenuta di Collosorbo, represents one of the diamonds in the entire range produced in Montalcino.
