WINE DESCRIPTION

Tassi Colombaio Brunello di Montalcino is a premium red wine produced by the Tassi family in the Montalcino appellation of Tuscany, Italy. The wine is made from Sangiovese grapes grown in the family's vineyards, which are situated at an altitude of 400 meters above sea level. The vineyards benefit from a unique microclimate and soil composition, which contribute to the wine's distinctive character. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including long maceration and aging in oak barrels for several years. The resulting wine is full-bodied, with intense aromas of red fruit, spices, and leather, and a long, complex finish. Tassi Colombaio Brunello di Montalcino is a perfect choice for wine enthusiasts looking for a high-quality, authentic expression of the Montalcino terroir.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Brunello di Montalcino from Tassi Colombaio is an exceptional wine, with a deep ruby colour and an intense nose of cherries, dried figs and leather.On the palate, it shows great balance and structure, with firm tannins and a long, full finish. The wine is full-bodied and complex, with a hint of spice and a hint of smokiness that linger on the palate. This is an excellent example of a Brunello di Montalcino, and it will age gracefully for many years to come.
