An exceptional Brunello di Montalcino from a fully female Tuscan estate
The estate
Donatella Cinelli Colombini has been running since 1998 two Tuscan estates whose family heritage dates back to 1592: Fattoria del Colle in Trequanda and Casato Prime Donne in Montalcino. The first Italian woman to head a wine estate, she created in 2002 Italy’s first fully female property, from the vineyards to the cellar. This matrilineal succession, carried on by her daughter Violante, breaks with the Tuscan patriarchal tradition.
The vineyard
The Casato Prime Donne vineyard spans 17 hectares in Montalcino, planted exclusively with Sangiovese. This IOsonoDONATELLA cuvée comes from the Ardita vineyard, located on the northern slope of the Brunello di Montalcino appellation, a particularly sunny area.
Winemaking and aging
Vinification of the Casato Prime Donne IOsonoDONATELLA Riserva 2019 takes place in open conical vats with punch-downs. After 20 days of vinification, a 10-day skin maceration is carried out. Aging lasts around 3 years in 5- to 7-hectoliter French oak barrels from 4 artisan cooperages, followed by 6 months in unlined concrete egg-shaped vats to promote oxygenation.
Grape variety
100% Sangiovese.
