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.

WinemakerCol d'Orcia
RegionTuscany
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.

Nearco Sant'Antimo Rosso DOC

Vintage 2020
WinemakerCol d'Orcia
RegionTuscany
Grapes 50% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Syrah, 5% Petit Verdot

Winemaking

The high quality grapes are each picked when ideally ripe, with the Syrah grapes being harvested somewhat later to len d the wine an added complexity. After harvesting, the four grape varieties are fermented for 20 days in separate stainless steel tanks. Following this, Nearco is stored for 12 months in 225-litre barriques and then allowed to develop in 500-litre tonnaux.

Our tasting note

Nearco decants into the glass with an intense ruby-red col our with violet reflections, and immediately gives off enticing fruity notes of ripe black cherries, plums and a pinch of spice. It is very dense on the palate, nicely weighted and well-balanced, with mature tannin and a pleasing freshness. With its wonderfully delicate barrique notes, the wine lingers pleasantly on the palate.

Olmaia Sant'Antimo DOC - Col d'Orcia

Col d'Orcia

,

Montalcino (Tuscany)

Olmaia Toscana IGT

Vintage 2018
WinemakerCol d'Orcia
RegionTuscany
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.
