Overview:
The Col d'Orcia 2018 Brunello di Montalcino DOCG is a remarkable expression of Tuscany's prestigious Sangiovese grape, sourced from the winery's estate vineyards located on the hillsides overlooking the Orcia River. With its south-southwest exposure, the vineyard benefits from ideal sun exposure, allowing the grapes to ripen fully and develop the complex aromas and flavours that define this celebrated Brunello. At an average altitude of 300 meters above sea level, the vines thrive in the unique Montalcino microclimate, contributing to a wine that embodies elegance and structure.
Tasting Notes:
This Brunello reveals a stunning ruby red colour with violet hues. On the nose, it offers an intense and broad bouquet, brimming with red fruit aromas of cherry and blackberry, seamlessly complemented by subtle vanilla and woody notes imparted by oak aging. The palate is full-bodied, with excellent structure and balance. Soft, ripe tannins lead to a long, persistent finish, where fruity and earthy undertones linger, leaving an impression of richness and refinement. Perfectly paired with rich dishes such as roasted meats, wild game, or aged cheeses. This Brunello's balanced structure and complex flavours make it an ideal companion for hearty meals. Best enjoyed after decanting to allow its full complexity to unfold, it will continue to evolve beautifully in the bottle for years to come.
