Fattoria Agriturismo Il Colombaio Contessa Ava 2022

Il Colombaio is an historic Tuscan property located near Montereggioni in the province of Siena. The property has historical records dating back to the 1800′s and in 1897 was awarded an honor for its wine. An organic practicing farm, the soils are the famous Chianti Galestro: a special soil comprised of loose marl and limestone. The vineyards sit on 15 hectares with the rest of the property's 70 hectares being planted with olive trees.

The Il Colombaio Contessa Ava is made from 100% Sangiovese that is hand-harvested and fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks. The wine displays delicate aromas of sour black cherries and violets. On the palate it is full bodied with smooth tannins and a tight acidity which frames flavors of currants and strawberries. Enjoy with meat sauces or full-flavored fish dishes featuring tomatoes.
