Col d'Orcia
The Tenuta Col d Orcia is one of the most historic and well-cultivated vineyards in Montalcino. The estate has over 142 hectares of wine-growing land, whereby the majority is planted with Sangiovese, the unique wine variety for Brunello di Montalcino. Since 1973 the vineyard has beenunder the ownership of the aristocratic family of Marone Cinzano, and in 2010 switched over fully to biodynamic winemaking. Today Col d Orcia is one of the largest organic vineyards in Tuscany.

Olmaia Sant'Antimo DOC
| Vintage | 2016 |
| Winemaker | Col d'Orcia |
| Region | Tuscany |
| Grapes | 100% Cabernet Sauvignon |
Winemaking
Fermentation is carried out over roughly 20 days at a controlled temperature between 25 and 28 °C in stainless steel tanks. The Olmaia is then aged over 18 months, 95 percent in French oak barrels and 5 percent in American oak barrels, followed by 8 months of maturing in bottles.
Our tasting note
The Olmaia has an intensive, ruby-red colour. The unbelievably lush fruit of blackcurrant, cassis liqueur and the fully-ripe blackberries are accompanied by influences such as liquorice and juniper, as well as heavenly mineral under tones. The Olmaia is initially very rich and ripe on the pallet, while still being elegant and perfectly balanced. Also wonderfully smooth in its finish, with vital freshness and carefully-balanced tannins.

Brunello Poggio al Vento DOCG
| Vintage | 2016 |
| Winemaker | Col d'Orcia |
| Region | Tuscany |
| Grapes | 100% Sangiovese |
Winemaking
Stringent selection of the grapes, fermentation over 20 to 25 days at a controlled temperature of 28 °C in large stainless steel tanks. The wine then matures for 48 months in barrels made from Slavonian and French Allier oak, followed by 24 months of maturing in bottles.
Our tasting note
The Poggio al Vento Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is an absolute Brunello icon and practically impossible to surpass in terms of finesse, complexity and opulence. Aromas of ripe red fruits and tobacco that are typical for this type of wine dominate the bouquet and harmonise wonderfully with the noble wood note. An elegant body, polished tannins and a fresh structure also make the Poggio a firework of the pallet. All the characteristics combine in a delicate and long-lasting finish.

Rosso di Montalcino DOC
| Vintage | 2021 |
| Winemaker | Col d'Orcia |
| Region | Tuscany |
| Grapes | 100% Sangiovese |
Winemaking
Traditional fermentation over 10 to 12 days at a controlled temperature of below 28 °C in large stainless steel tanks. The wine then matures for 12 months in 25- and 75- hectolitre barrels made from Slavonian oak, followed by a short period of maturing in bottles.
Our tasting note
The Rosso di Montalcino is a top-class second wine besides Brunello. This wine has an intense ruby red colour in the wine glass. The nose enchants with notes of ripe raspberries, blackcurrants and plums. In addition to that comes the aroma of violets, as well as a subtle note of oak. It is full-bodied and structured on the pallet. Wonderful integrated tannins with a comfortable freshness. Long-lasting finish with a perfect balance.

Brunello di Montalcino DOCG
| Vintage | 2019 |
| Winemaker | Col d'Orcia |
| Region | Tuscany |
| Grapes | 100% Sangiovese |
Winemaking
Stringent selection of the grapes, traditional fermentation over 18 to 20 days at roughly 30 °C in large stainless steel tanks. The wine then matures for 36 months in barrels made from Slavonian and French Allier oak, followed by at least 6 months of maturing in bottles.
Our tasting note
An extremely fresh, crisp nose and elderberry-emphasised fruit with aromas from wild berries as well as fine notes of liquorice, coffee and spices. Very intense and compact on the palate, pleasantly refreshing and wonderfully balanced tannins. Elegant and long-lasting finish - excellent price-pleasure ratio.
