Taste
A vivid, deep ruby-red in the glass, the 2017 Cava d’Onice Colombaio Brunello di Montalcino reveals captivating aromas of ripe plums and blueberries, seamlessly interwoven with complex mineral, balsamic and peppery spice notes. The palate is beautifully balanced, with a solid structure, well-blended tannins and a precise line of fresh acidity. The finish is persistent, offering impressive depth, freshness, and fleshy cherry notes; a true single-vineyard expression with great purity and length.
Producer
Cava d’Onice stands out for its artisanal approach and focus on terroir. The Colombaio bottling hails from the estate’s original 0.5-hectare parcel, positioned at a lofty 430 metres on a north-eastern exposure, making it the highest plot of the property. This attention to microclimate and soil, combined with careful, hands-on vineyard management, results in a wine that is both profound and distinct - showcasing the Nannetti family’s passion and mastery of Sangiovese at its most refined.

"This single-vineyard Brunello hails from the estate’s original 0.5ha parcel. With a northeast exposure, it is Cava d’Onice’s highest plot at 430 metres. Demonstrating greater depth than the estate Brunello, Colombaio leads with scents of dusty rose, flinty earth and peppery spice. The acidity is linear and chewy tannins stick to the palate but are well-formed. Great structure and freshness, with a lingering finish of fleshy cherries."
