History | Winemaking
Established in 1933, Col D'Orcia is one of the historic names in Montalcino. Today the estate is owned today by Count Francesco Marone Cinzano, whose family bought Col d'Orcia in 1973.
Col d'Orcia has long been celebrated as a producer of monumental Brunelli - the iconic Riserva Poggio al Vento is one of the very greatest examples of Brunello - yet they also produces some excellent value Sangiovese-based reds (somewhat of a rarity in this region!)
Going into the Montalcino appellation, Col d'Orcia produces a full of character Rosso di Montalcino, one of the most consistent of the region.
The Brunello 2004 is a rich and elegant vintage benefitting from a superb growing season.
Because the warm vintage wasn't up the required high standard, they decided to bottle the Poggio al Vento as "simple" Brunello Riserva 2000: a combination of power and elegance, with fine tannins and very long finish. An absolute bargain!
