    The name is a tribute. Maria Iris Bertarelli – co-founder and the heart and soul of Collemassari – is the woman who, together with her brother Claudio Tipa, acquired the abandoned castle in Montecucco in 1998 and planted it with a vision: that this forgotten hilly landscape between Montalcino and Scansano had what it takes to become an appellation in its own right. Irisse is her wine. Vermentino with up to 25% Grechetto – more body, more substance. But what really sets Irisse apart from Melacce is the short maceration on the skins, followed by twelve months' ageing in large oak casks. This yields a depth one rarely expects from Vermentino.

    Golden yellow with amber hues. On the nose: ripe pear, quince jelly, citrus blossom, hazelnut and a hint of toasted bread. On the palate, it is full-bodied and well-structured, with rounded acidity and a long, spicy final. A white wine that understands the passage of time – and rewards patience. SUPERIORE.DE

    "Powdery chalk dust mingles with dried herbs and tart green melon as the 2024 Vermentino Irisse opens up in the glass. On the palate, it reveals a soft texture and a depth of mineral-driven fruit. The fresh acidity cleanses the palate remarkably well, whilst the wine tapers off in a structured manner, with a crisp sensation and a finish of tart green apple." Vinous

    "A perfumed, complex nose of spices, dried flowers and beeswax. Medium-bodied, dry and tense, with vertical acidity driving the length. Focused and layered. Drink or hold." James Suckling
