Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Cru Santa Maria

Information

Description

Santa Maria Riserva expresses Sangiovese from the cool northern slopes of Montalcino, within Luisa and Marino Colleoni's project. Elevation, exposure and clay-limestone soils contribute to a character the importer describes as particularly fine and elegant. Vineyard care follows organic principles and a continuing search for natural balance, begun with the recovery of the Le Sante Marie property. Extended maturation in large Slavonian oak casks accompanies this Riserva, whose identity rests on its precise origin and patient, small-scale work. It offers a distinct perspective on Sangiovese within the varied landscape of Montalcino.
