The Brunello di Montalcino DOCG produced by Tenuta Col d'Orcia is an exemplary red wine that captures the essence of Tuscan winemaking tradition, emblematic of refinement and quality. This prestigious wine is made entirely from Sangiovese grapes, carefully selected from vineyards located in the enchanting hills of Montalcino, a territory renowned for its ideal climate and soils that impart unique and unmistakable characteristics to the wine.

The grape harvest is carried out exclusively by hand to ensure the integrity of the fruit, followed by traditional fermentation. The Brunello di Montalcino from Tenuta Col d'Orcia matures for at least four years, with at least two of those years in oak barrels. This extended aging is crucial for developing the complexity and harmony that characterize it.

Visually, the wine displays an intense ruby red color, which tends towards garnet with aging. On the nose, it offers a rich and persistent bouquet, with notes of ripe red fruits, spices, and a slight hint of vanilla, a result of the maturation in wood. On the palate, the Brunello di Montalcino is robust yet harmonious, with a well-balanced tannic structure that promises excellent aging potential. The finish is long and seductive, with a pleasing persistence of aromas.

Perfect to serve with rich dishes such as braised meats, game, and aged cheeses, the Brunello di Montalcino DOCG from Tenuta Col d'Orcia is a wine that continues to evolve and surprise over time, making it ideal for special occasions or as a prestigious addition to any wine collection.
