James Suckling
This is tangy and rich with chocolate, dried berry, cedar and vanilla aromas and flavors. Some nuttiness as well. Full body, bright acidity and a clean finish.

Wine Spectator
Ample cherry and plum fruit is augmented by eucalyptus, tobacco and earth accents, balanced by acidity and moderate tannins that all come together on the lingering finish. Best from 2017 through 2026.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Collosorbo's 2011 Brunello di Montalcino shows a bright and cheerful side of this warm vintage. The wine presents an easy and forthcoming aromatic profile with upfront tones of black cherry and dried blackberry. It offers good balance thanks to subtle tones of leather and spice that serve to flesh out and widen the bouquet. The quality of fruit is simple, slightly sweet and definitely on the ripe side. This is another good near-term Brunello from 2011.

Tenuta di Collosorbo was started in 1995 by Giovanna Ciacci from the division of her family’s estate, Tenuta di Sesta, which was founded in 1850
The Ciacci family always cultivated grapes, olives, and all types of grains. Giuseppe Ciacci bottled the estate’s first Brunello di Montalcino in 1966, the same year that the Producers Association was established and the estate’s Brunello was given a DOC label.
Nowadays, Giovanna Ciacci and her two daughters run the winery, maintaining the family crest as a tie to the past. Giovanna takes care of the general administration of the winery. Laura Sutera Sardo works as both the enologist and viticulturist. Lucia Sutera Sardo, the agronomist, is responsible for the commercial side of the winery.
