Collosorbo, Brunello di Montalcino, Italy, 2018
Picture this: a wine that struts into the room wearing a tuxedo and top hat, ready to tango. Colosorbo’s Brunello di Montalcino is that suave companion. With aromas of ripe cherries and a hint of leather.
On the palate, it offers a delightful dance of robust flavours – think of dark fruits playing a cheeky game of hide and seek with earthy undertones. The tannins are there, but they’re more like polite dinner guests than uninvited party crashers. The finish? It lingers like a good pun; you can’t help but smile, even if you’re the only one laughing.

Brunello di Montalcino is a prestigious red wine produced in the Montalcino region of Tuscany, Italy. Made exclusively from the Sangiovese grape, known locally as Sangiovese Grosso, this wine is celebrated for its rich flavors and aging potential. Brunello typically exhibits deep, complex aromas of dark cherry, plum, leather, and spice, alongside earthy undertones. The wine is full-bodied with high acidity and firm tannins, making it well-suited for aging, often improving over a decade or more. Brunello di Montalcino must be aged a minimum of five years, with at least two years in oak, contributing to its distinctive character and structure. It pairs beautifully with robust dishes, red meats, and mature cheeses, making it a favorite among wine enthusiasts.
