Donatella Cinelli Colombini
The 8 doves on the label represent this groundbreaking female-led winery, while the dragon represents Donatella's beloved husband, Carlo. From Trequanda’s Fattoria del Colle, at 400m on hills of predominantly limestone and sandstone comes this Supertuscan blend of Sangiovese (60%), and equal parts Merlot, and Sagrantino. This was vinified in stainless before 18 months in large barrels and in 5-7 hl French oak tonneaux.
Perfumed florals, sun-ripened cherry, and balsam are woven through this muscular red, with ample chewy tannins and warming baking spice on the finish. One to pour alongside roast lamb / root veg.
"Darkly enticing, the 2020 Il Drago e Le 8 Colombe smolders up with a whiff of cocoa and tangerine zest before giving way to balsamic-inflected black cherries. It’s cool-toned and juicy, with tart wild berry fruits and inner herbal tones elevated by a core of vibrant acidity. This leaves a wild blueberry saturation, edgy tannins and graphite-tinged mineral hints to fade slowly. Despite its structure, the 2020 is more accessible than past vintages, though still complex. Drink 2025-2030." - 92 points, Eric Guido, Vinous, March 2026.
