Montalcino - near Siena on the Sant’Angelo hill overlooking the Orcia River, facing South South/West and exposed to sunrays all day long. Average elevation of vineyards 300 m above sea level. Particular clones of Sangiovese, selected by Col d’Orcia. Manual harvest with rigorous selection of the best bunches in the vineyard at first and subsequently on a selection table in the cellar. Certified Organic.

Ruby red with violet hues. Intense and complex aromas lead back to small red ripe fruits and plum jam followed by toasted and vanilla notes. Excellent structure, full bodied and balanced. The enveloping tannic texture leads to a fruity pleasant, lasting aftertaste.

Serve at 18 degrees Celcius, and if possible decant. Col D'Orcia Brunello di Montalcino is capable of long aging in bottle.
