The estate was acquired in 1999 by Claudio Tipa and his sister Maria Iris Bertarelli, who restored the ColleMassari castle — a 13th-century fortress that was originally the homestead of area nobility — and transformed it into one of Tuscany's most celebrated organic wine estates. The vineyards on the Montecucco hill are home to some of the oldest Sangiovese vines in the DOCG.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRigoleto is ColleMassari's entry-level expression — a blend of organically grown Sangiovese, Ciliegiolo, and Montepulciano that captures the fresh, fruit-driven character of Montecucco with an easy, approachable style. Shimmering ruby red in the glass. The nose is fresh, vinous, and balsamic — tart blackberries, cherry, fresh thyme, menthol, and earthy topsoil. On the palate, fresh, soft, and inviting with tart, snappy black cherries, juicy fruit, harmonious structure, and a hot, peppery finish with chalky tannins that keep the wine lively and food-friendly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePair with pasta with tomato sauce, pizza, grilled meats, charcuterie, and aged pecorino.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Castello ColleMassari\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCuvée:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rigoleto\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppellation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Montecucco Rosso DOC, Tuscany, Italy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlend:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sangiovese, Ciliegiolo, Montepulciano\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2023\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFarming:\u003c\/strong\u003e Certified Organic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBottle Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eCritical Acclaim — Vintage 2023\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWine Enthusiast — 91 pts:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fresh, earthy nose of tart blackberries, topsoil and herbs.
