Description
Details of wine
Evenly with the other great Brunello producers, Col d'Orcia also uses large Slavonian wood barrels to refine the Sangiovese destined for the production of its great Brunellis. In fact, in addition to the attentions of organic farming, it is this aging of 3 years in cask and then another year in the bottle that enhances the qualities of power and complexity and maturity that only time gives to this great Tuscan wine symbol.

Color
Rosso rubino intenso, con tinte ancora giovanili.
Smell
Complesso, fresco, ampio e profondo. Le spezie del rovere sono integrate con armonia nel frutto invitante.
Taste
Di notevole impatto: l'imponente struttura tannica è avvolta in un corpo generoso e quasi cremoso, che libera sensazioni gustative multidimensionali. Frutto primario e positiva evoluzione del lungo affinamento in rovere sono in perfetto equilibrio, conducendo ad un retrogusto nobile ed elegante.
Pairings
Si abbina bene con preparazioni a base di carni rosse come stufati e brasati, è eccellente anche con selvaggina da pelo, formaggi stagionati, anche piccanti.

The Col DOrcia estate is one of the oldest companies of Montalcino, being present in 1933 with the name Fattoria di SantAngelo in Colle at the First Exhibition of Italian wines held in Siena, with three vintages of Brunello. The origin of the estate dates back to the first half of the XVIII century when the noble family Delle Ciaia of Siena established an estate in the area of SantAngelo in Colle which increased year by year. In the second half of the nineteenth century the ownership was passed to the Servadio family and subsequently to the Franceschi family. In 1973 Count Alberto Marone Cinzano took over the company, with the aim to contribute to the development and success of Montalcino and its Brunello on world markets. From 1977 the company has been under the direction of Edoardo Virano and from 1992 the Col DOrcia estate is presided over by Count Francesco Marone Cinzano.
