Producer: The vineyards of Donatella Cinelli Colombini are known worldwide. They were the first estates in Italy where only women work. In 2002, the new Casato Prime Donne winery was completed, where nothing is lacking in order to produce traditionally interpreted wines at the very highest level on 16 hectares of vineyards. This is where the noble Brunello grows, which reaches the market after more than 4 years of ageing. Donatella, whose family is known to have produced wine in the region as early as the 16th century, runs her small empire with passion and foresight. The winery, with its attached hotel and restaurant, is intended to be a place where everyone is welcome to get to know the noble nature of Montalcino wine.

Grape varieties: 100% Garnacha

Vinification: The winemaking is very traditional, blending destemmed grapes with 50% whole grapes. Fermentation takes place in limestone tanks from a quarry near the winery, with twice daily pumping over. Maceration for an average of 10 days. After pressing, the wine is transferred to oak barrels where it completes alcoholic fermentation and undergoes malolactic fermentation. After a slight clarification, the wine is bottled without filtering.

The sites: The Monastrell and Garnacha vineyards are high altitude vineyards, as the winery is located between 780 and 1200 metres above sea level. The dry climate typical of this location subjects the vines to an extraordinary effort, resulting in a unique expression of these fruits and their wines. 

The vineyards are located in the DO Bullas Protected Designation of Origin region. A region whose relationship with wine goes back thousands of years.

The Bodega: The vineyards of Bodegas Saura are located in a unique enclave that is home to numerous animal species such as the arrui, the mountain goat, the wild boar, the vulture, the eagle and the eagle owl. Along the winding paths that lead from one paréala to another, it is possible to have a fleeting encounter with these species, unique spectators of the development of the vineyards.

A horseback ride through the mountains provides a wonderful opportunity for these encounters, as well as the chance to observe how the vineyards occupy small hilltops.

Bodegas Saura run a project to preserve and care for these species and their habitat, which is part of the project's philosophy. These vineyards and their fruits would not be understood without the untamed nature that surrounds them.

SERVING temperature: 16° - 18°C ;
