Collemassari: wines of Maremma between elegance, altitude, and territorial identity
The Collemassari collection gathers a selection of wines that are an authentic expression of the Tuscan Maremma, where hillside vineyards, constant ventilation, and strong temperature variations contribute to defining wines of character and precision. The estate is located at the foot of Monte Amiata, towards the Tyrrhenian coast, in a context suited for the production of labels with a Mediterranean profile but always balanced.
Within this selection, there are structured reds and a white with a territorial imprint, perfect for those looking for bottles capable of telling the story of the connection between soil, climate, and work in the vineyard. The agronomic management follows criteria of guaranteed and certified organic cultivation by ICEA, an element that further enhances the qualitative approach of the winery.
The production philosophy of the estate
Castello ColleMassari extends over a wide and diversified property, with vineyards located about 320 meters above sea level and cultivated with systems such as spurred cordon and double Guyot. The selection of grapes during harvest is particularly meticulous, with successive manual selection steps confirming the intention to bottle only the best expressions of the vintage.
This attention is reflected in the wines present in the collection, starting with the Montecucco Rosso Riserva DOC 2017 Collemassari and the Poggio Lombrone Montecucco Sangiovese Riserva DOCG 2017, two interpretations that enhance the structure, depth, and evolutionary capacity of Sangiovese in the Montecucco territory. Completing the proposal is Irisse 2023 Montecucco Vermentino DOC Collemassari, a fresh and savory choice, ideal for those who desire a white that is consistent with the identity of the Tuscan coast.
Grapes and style of Collemassari wines
In the wines of the winery, Sangiovese and Vermentino particularly stand out, two varieties that distinctly interpret the territory. Sangiovese, especially in the Riserva versions, offers structure, complexity, and a deep tasting profile, with a personality suited for those who appreciate elegant yet intense reds. Vermentino, on the other hand, delivers a more direct and bright sip, with acidity and drinkability, ideal for those seeking a versatile and territorial white.
Recommended pairings
Collemassari reds are well-suited to accompany important dishes of Italian cuisine, such as red meats, roasts, braises, and flavorful preparations of the Tuscan tradition. The Riserva versions, thanks to their structure, are particularly suitable for aged cheeses and long-cooked dishes.
Irisse 2023 Montecucco Vermentino DOC is instead a very interesting choice with seafood appetizers, delicate first courses, baked fish, and Mediterranean vegetables. It is the right wine for those who desire a white capable of combining freshness and personality without losing the connection to the territory.

Purchasing from the Collemassari collection means focusing on a winery that combines territorial identity, agronomic care, and attention to quality in the cellar.
