Col d'Orcia
Translated as ‘the hill overlooking the Orcia River,’ they produce exceptional wine that really makes use of the favourable climate and soil that this excellent location on the west border of Montalcino provides. Count Cinzano’s vineyard produces some of Italy’s most revered Brunello di Montalcino.

Vinous (95)Dusty earth gives way to dried roses, incense, hints of cedar, sage, currants and black cherries in a display that makes the 2016 Col d'Orcia Brunello di Montalcino a very special experience. It’s nuanced and perfumed from start to finish, boasting silky textures contrasted by tart berries and minerals, but with sweet tannins that frame the expression perfectly. Its inner sweetness is balanced by bright acids, creating an almost-juicy sensation, right up until the moment you realize that your palate is aching with youthful tension. There’s so much going on and much more to come, making me wonder what the Poggio al Vento might offer in the 2016 vintage. For now, that doesn’t even matter, because the 2015 Col d'Orcia impresses on nearly every level. |
