Col d'Orcia - "Col d'Orcia" Brunello di Montalcino | Italian Red Wine

Col d’Orcia is a traditional producer of Brunello di Montalcino. The choice to continue using the large Slavonian oak barrels was taken many years ago, well before the debate between modernist and traditionalist producers even started.

Tradition means respecting the essence of Sangiovese from Montalcino which is the aging potential and the improvement of the wine through its long passage in wood and the subsequent aging in the bottle. Still today, at Col d’Orcia, the Brunello di Montalcino are aged for a whole 3 years in the large barrels before bottling and the bottles are kept in cellar at least 1 year before releasing the wine to the market.
