james suckling hq logo plain"An attractive mineral overlay on top of the red berries, ripe strawberries, flowers and orange peel. Medium to full body with a tight, holographic mapping of tannins on the palate. Dusty, tight and full of berry allure. Drink or hold."

james suckling hq logo plain"Aromas of plum and cherry with some cedar and walnut that follow through to a full body with a dense, structured palate and powerful tannins. Very long and persistent. Muscular. Best ever. Drink after 2024."

2016 Collemattoni Brunello di Montalcino - 92 PTS - VINOUS

vinous logo"The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino from Collemattoni impresses with an expression of purity, showing wild strawberries with hints of green stems and nuances of sweet spice. It’s a soft and enveloping effort with a core of bright, juicy acids, which bring its red and black berry fruits to life. While youthfully dry and structured, this never loses momentum, tapering off to pretty inner florals. Only a few years of cellaring should bring this fully into focus. It’s a pleasure to taste. - Eric Guido- Ian D’Agata."

2015 Collemattoni Brunello di Montalcino - 95 PTS - VINOUS

vinous logo"Good full red. Perfumed aromas of red cherry, kirsch, mocha and herbs on the inviting nose. Despite its size, this is graceful and impeccably built, with very precise flavors of red plum, blueberry, milk chocolate and minerals that expand and broaden on the long, seductive finish. Outstanding Brunello that offers both size and refinement. In my opinion, Collemattoni is a very underrated, off the radar Brunello estate but its wines deserve to be better known. - Ian D’Agata."

vinous logo"Bright, deep red. Red cherry, sweet spices and smoky oak on the enticing nose. Strong soil tones complement musky spice, sweet pipe tobacco, and red fruit flavors. Finishes creamy, tactile and long, with polished tannins. Made from Sangiovese grown in vineyards located in all four of the major quadrants of the Montalcino production zone, which allowed owner Adon Bucci to make a highly balanced wine.- Ian D'Agata"

vinous logo"Good full ruby-red. Inviting aromas of red cherry pie, black cherry, sweet spices, mocha and dried herbs. Densely packed and silky, displaying superb intensity to the high-pitched red cherry and berry flavors. This sexy, velvety wine offers terrific lift and sappiness, but has a very firm spine of noble tannins and lively acids that leaves a lingering impression of a classic Brunello. Lush and very long, this beauty is already irresistible now. - Ian D'Agata"

wine and spirits logo 250"The Bucci family makes wine from 27 acres of vines in Montalcino’s southern sector. Their 2013 Brunello offers flavors of red cherry and leafy herbs framed by plush, velvety tannins. Mineral tones weave through the wine, drawing the flavors together. Its open-knit structure offers plenty of immediate appeal.”

vinous logo"Bright red with ruby tinges. Musky red raspberry, mocha and violet on the nose. At once big and restrained, dense and rich, showcasing Collemattoni’s typical thick, strapping mouthfeel but also more lift and refinement than usual. Round and fairly large-scaled but with plenty of verve that will repay extended cellaring. Really classic Brunello. - Ian D'Agata"
