Donatella Cinelli Colombini - Fattoria del Colle
Il Drago e le Otto Colombe IGT Toscana
-
Description :
Donatella Cinelli Colombini's all-female wineries dedicate this wine to one man: the agronomist. He is the dragon that is portrayed on the label, while the doves who surround him are the seven women who work with him in the winery. A very technical vinification process is performed starting with dry ice to lower the temperature of the grapes when they arrive at the winery. The destemming and crushing processes are done simultaneously to enhance the extraction of polyphenols. The wine ages for 18 months in French oak barrels.
