Producer
Despite the fact that Il Colle winery was only founded in 1972, the truth about its origin remains a mystery. One of the versions says that the vineyards were acquired in 1972 by Alberto Carli together with his wife Ernesta. But, according to another version, Alberto himself planted vines together with Giulio Gambelli and, being on his deathbed, prepared a surprise for Ernesta - a full wine cellar. Il Colle (one of the small gems of the Montalcino wine region) was formerly part of the Colle al Matrichese estate, which belonged to the Count of Constant, which rose at an altitude of 400-450 meters above sea level. The harvest from this vineyard, from which wines with a particularly delicate taste were obtained, began to be mixed with grapes from Castelnuovo del'Abate, located to the south, at an altitude of 220 meters. The family acquired this vineyard in 1998. Working with Gambelli, Alberto strictly adhered to the traditional technique of the maestro of Tuscan wine, and today Caterina Carli, who took over the leadership of the winery after her father's death in 2001, follows the tradition. Alberto used only natural yeast and vats without temperature control; he subjected his Brunello to a long maceration on the skins, never filtered and aged in botti produced in Slovenia. There have been few changes in the winery over the past 35-40 years. Gambelli has always held a high value for tradition, letting the grapes speak for themselves. The wine is not exposed to any external influences, apart from the vineyard and the harvest year.
Tasting notes
The bouquet opens with aromas of ripe cherry, plum, and dried rose petals, followed by notes of tobacco, leather, and a hint of sweet spice. On the palate, it reveals layers of red fruit, forest floor, and balsamic nuances supported by refined tannins and balanced acidity. The finish is long, savory, and persistent, suggesting excellent aging potential for years to come.
Pairing
This expressive Brunello pairs beautifully with roasted lamb, aged cheeses, and hearty game dishes. It also complements truffle-based pasta or risotto, enhancing the earthy and aromatic flavors of the meal.
