Tenuta di Collosorbo is a leading winery for the production of wine in Montalcino. It was founded in 1995 by a hereditary division of the Tenuta di Sesta, an important production reality to be counted among the pioneers of the Brunello di Montalcino appellation. Today Collosorbo is managed by an all-female branch of the historic Ciacci family, winemakers since 1850: Giovanna Ciacci is the owner of the estate, managed together with her daughters Laura, oenologist, and Lucia, agronomist. Together they form a winning team that has become, in recent years, an important point of reference for wine enthusiasts all over the world. The secret of this success is illustrated by the three women as follows: "Deciding something by mutual agreement is often a desperate undertaking. But all three of us believe in people and in the teamwork that has made our wines great over the years ".

The Collosorbo estate is located on the southern side of Montalcino, in the warmest area of ​​the denomination that looks towards Monte Amiata and is affected by the beneficial marine influences. In this area Sangiovese produces particularly rich and generous wines, endowed with power, warmth and structure. The calcareous-clayey soils, rich in iron and pebbles, contribute to an expressive, elegant and mineral organoleptic profile. The vineyards extend for about 30 hectares: they enjoy good ventilation and are surrounded by a dense forest.

The cellar of the Collosorbo estate is located in small underground caves dug into the tuff of probable Etruscan origin. Here all the production operations are carried out: destemming, soft pressing, fermentation in steel tanks and long macerations with frequent pumping over. The aging of the wines produced usually takes place in large Slavonian oak barrels of 12 and 57 hectoliters. This is how elegant and complex wines are born with remarkable longevity but also characterized by a generous character, typical of this micro-terroir, which makes them immediately appreciable.
