The I Colli estate can be found in the northern part of the province of Siena, specifically in the territories of Monteriggioni and Vagliagli. It is here that 23 generations of the Bindi Sergardi Family have prospered and grown.
The land from which the vines prosper consist of limestone. It is this soil and microclimate of this region which gives the Sangiovese identity from vineyard to vineyard. It's worked pretty well for over 700 years. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks for 15 days and following malolactic fermentation the wine is then aged in oak barrels.
The nose shows nicely with ripe fruit of cherry, plum and blackberry. The mouth is juicy with cherry strawberry, and a hint of dark berries. The finish is long and juicy but so soft. Glad I have several more bottles of this Italian gem.
If you tasted this wine drop us a note on the blog and tell us what you thought.
Cheers
Dan
