Collemattoni has been in the Bucci family since 1798, when Giuseppe Bucci acquired property to the south of Montalcino. Today the 18-acre estate is farmed organically and is run by Marcello Bucci, along with his parents and uncle. The vineyards are divided into four specialized parcels, and the estate’s name comes from the Collemattoni vineyard, which is the family’s original parcel. The vineyard is relatively high, at about 1,300 feet above sea level, and its name means “brick hill,” a reference to its rich, reddish, rocky soil. Collemattoni’s cellar was completely renovated in 2012. Collemattoni produces Brunello di Montalcino, Rosso di Montalcino, and several IGT wines, which are in the second level of the Italian wine classification system.
