| Sub-district | Rosso di Montalcino |

Nice fruit concentration but perhaps a tad shy at the moment, cherries and damsons, touch herbal. In the mouth that bounce of the vintage, fresh but great fruit weight, damsons and cherries, earth, mocha and herbs. L&S (Sept 2024)

The 2022 Rosso di Montalcino is a pretty effort, with mentholated herbs and cedar tones enlivening dried cherries. This is soft-textured and open-knit with ripe wild berry fruits and sweet spice. It finishes with medium length and concentration, with a tart raspberry tinge that resonates. Drinking range: 2024 - 2028 Rating: 89 Eric Guido, www.vinous.com (Sept 2024)
Ripe strawberries, red cherries and touches of licorice and white pepper. Fine-grained and firm on the palate, with nice, chewy tannins. A bit more structured with a bit more ripeness and volume this year. Drink from 2025. Drinking range: 2025 - Rating: 91 Zekun Shuai www.jamessuckling.com (Sept 2024)
Collemattoni
This is a small, 13-hectare estate, spread across the Southwest and Southeast of Montalcino. The winery (and some of these 13 hectares), sits in San Angelo in Colle on the southern side of the hill of Montalcino, nestling above the famous and rather larger Col d'Orcia vineyards (145 hectares). Winemaker Marcello Bucci is making wonderfully good wines which have rapidly increased both in quality and international recognition.
With his new winery now well and truly bedded in Marcello is thriving with the greater control and flexibility he now has - this is an estate going from strength to strength and the wines have a real true imprint of these beautiful rolling hills and Marcello's gentle manner. The wines from these vineyards are fuller and riper perhaps, than Fuligni or Padelletti. However, where there may be less lacy finesse, they more than compensate with indulgent joy, not to mention with their pricing. Collemattoni make some of the best value wines of the region.
