Tassi Brunello di Montalcino Colombaio 2016

Brunello di Montalcino Colombaio is produced from grapes with low yields carefully harvested in the tiny Colombaio vineyard of 0.9 hectares at Castelnuovo dell'Abate, on clay-loam soils with the presence of limestone, where the exposure and good temperature ranges allow optimal yields and quality of the grapes. 

This Brunello is macerated for two/three weeks in contact with the skins before racking into 700-litre tonneaux where it matures for a good two and a half years.

The 2016 vintage is universally acclaimed as exceptional, a vintage that recalls the qualitative peaks reached in 1990 and never repeated. The result is of exceptional quality: acidity, structure and elegance, confirming the great ageing potential.
