| Review: |
"Extremely fascinating on the nose alternating notes of strawberries, red prunes, lavender, hibiscus, karkadè, linden blossom, lime peel and passionfruit. In the background herbaceous hints colour the matrix green. Full bodied, perfectly polymerized tannins and a warm, enveloping finale which shows volume and tension, extending in the best possible manner, leaving a great gustatory persistency. Colonnello is a vineyard in Bussia with a prevalent amount of sand. Fermented in steel and refined in large Slavic oak barrels. Better from 2026." |
