    Donatella Cinelli Colombini Prime Donne Project on Tuscan Vines

    John Fodera, of the very informative wine blog, Tuscan Vines, has wonderful things to say about the 2010 Brunelli, specifically the Donatella Cinelli Colombini Progetto Prime Donne and the DCC Brunello

    An excerpt from his post:

    "At the risk of sounding like a certain politician,  "I love women!" - and I love them even more when they make outstanding wine.  If you haven't gotten familiar with the wines of Donatella Colombini, then read this and let your search begin.  You've no longer got an excuse. 

    The 2010 "Prime Donne" Brunello is an astounding wine.  Sourced from two small vineyards totaling just 13 hectares, the Donatella Colombini vineyards lie approximately 225 meters above sea level.  Their Brunello is aged in French tonneaux for up to 3 years depending upon vintage characteristics.  

    This is a bright violet in the glass clear to the rim of the bowl. Though not a Riserva, the "Progetto Prime Donne" is produced by a "Council of 4 Women" that meet throughout the year to chart the course of the vintage's wine."
