Collemattoni celebrates thirty years of harvests with a “new” Brunello con Montalcino. Thus was born Albori, a name chosen because the vineyards from which this new wine comes are the first to see the sun every morning. The rows at 600 meters above sea level that towards Mount Amiata durante the vineyard acquired durante the highest part of Montalcino, near the Iniziativa del Torcia Scialbo, are therefore illuminated by the dawn and were chosen to celebrate an important birthday. A causa di five years, this vineyard will only produce Sangiovese destined to become Brunello con Montalcino.
The three decades of history of the winery are durante fact a journey that began with Adon, the founder, and today carried forward with passion and dedication by his son Marcello. And precisely to represent continuity, the Albori bottle stands out for a sentimental choice: the label features a drawing created by Marcello’s daughter and reflects the connection between the family tradition and the new generation, with an artistic interpretation that could recall sunrise over the vineyards of Montalcino.
Albori’s first production is approximately 4,600 bottles.
