From Sangiovese grapes Col d'Orcia Brunello di Montalcino expresses an elegant complexity.
Col d’Orcia is a traditional producer of Brunello di Montalcino. The choice to continue using the large Slavonian oak barrels was taken many years ago, well before the debate between modernist and traditionalist producers even started. Tradition means respecting the essence of Sangiovese from Montalcino which is the aging potential and the improvement of the wine through its long passage in wood and the subsequent aging in the bottle. Still today, at Col d’Orcia, we age our Brunello di Montalcino for a full 3 years in the large barrels before bottling and keep the bottles in cellar at least 1 year before releasing the wine to the market.
It has a ruby red color with garnet reflections. The nose is complex and elegant with intense fruity notes, such as blackberry, they integrate with the spices given by the oak. A wine of excellent structure, full and persistent with soft and ripe tannins. It has a sapid and pleasantly fruity aftertaste.
