ColleMassari Winery, located in the Montecucco DOC region of Tuscany, stands as a beacon of Italian winemaking excellence. Founded in 1998 by siblings Maria Iris Bertarelli and Claudio Tipa, the winery has expanded its reach by acquiring prestigious estates like Grattamacco in Bolgheri, Poggio di Sotto, and Tenuta San Giorgio in Montalcino. These properties, each with their distinctive wines, contribute to ColleMassari's reputation for quality. The estate encompasses 1200 hectares, with 120 dedicated to vineyards and 90 to olive groves, all managed under ICEA-certified organic practices. The vineyard primarily produces Sangiovese reds, complemented by Ciliegiolo and Montepulciano, while also offering sweet Vin Santo and refined Montecucco biancos. The winery prides itself on creating organic olive oil and Grappa. ColleMassari’s commitment to tradition and innovation has garnered prestigious accolades, such as being named Wine Producer of the Year by Gambero Rosso in 2014 and recognizing Claudio Tipa as Winemaker of the Year in 2020. The diverse soil types, from sandstone to clay, enhance the wine profiles, reflecting Tuscany's rich tapestry. ColleMassari invites wine enthusiasts to explore authentic Italian flavors, continually proving itself as a pillar of Tuscan winemaking heritage.
