Discover more about Tenuta Di Collosorbo

Nestled in the picturesque hills of Montalcino, Tenuta Di Collosorbo offers a quintessential Tuscan wine experience. The estate's history dates back to 1850, with the Ciacci family cultivating grapes, olives, and grains for generations. In 1995, Giovanna Ciacci established Tenuta di Collosorbo after dividing from her family's Tenuta di Sesta. The vineyards benefit from a unique microclimate influenced by the Mediterranean Sea and the nearby Mount Amiata, ideal for cultivating Sangiovese grapes. The calcareous clay soil contributes to the wines' complex aromas, good acidity, and mineral character. Visitors can explore the vineyards, learn about the winemaking process from grape to bottle, and taste a variety of Collosorbo's wines, including the renowned Brunello di Montalcino and Rosso di Montalcino. The estate also produces Sant'Antimo wines, showcasing the diversity of the terroir. The wine cellar is located in small underground caves, potentially of Etruscan origin. Here, the winemaking process involves destemming, soft crushing, fermentation in steel tanks, and long macerations. The wines are then aged in large Slavonian oak barrels, allowing them to develop their unique characteristics. Tenuta di Collosorbo is committed to organic practices and minimal intervention winemaking, ensuring the wines reflect the terroir and the family's dedication to quality.
