About the Producer:
Tenuta Col d’Orcia
lies in the territory secured in the early 17th century by the noble
Sienese family Della Ciaia. After passing through several different
hands, the lands were dedicated to winemaking, and in 1933 the First
Exhibition of Italian Wine saw three vintages of Brunello under the
estate name Fattoria di Sant’Angelo in Colle. In 1973 the estate
adopted its new name under the ownership of Count Alberto Marone Cinzano
(of the famous Cinzano vermouth family), who was determined to show
the world how deserving Brunello was of admiration. Count Francesco
Marone Cinzano is the current president of the organization, and Edoardo
Virano governs production with the help of in-house enologist Pablo
Härri and consultant Maurizio Castelli.
Col d’Orcia covers 540 hectares in Montalcino, of which 142
are planted to vines, from the Orcia River to Sant’Angelo in
Colle. As well as producing outstanding wines, the estate is constantly
involved in research, the main goal of which is to optimize the quality
of the fruit they grow. Together with the University of Florence and
Professor Attilio Scienza of the University of Milan, they study planting
systems, clonal selection, and coupling vines with their ideal terroir.
The resulting discoveries feed further developments in their Brunello,
Rosso, and Moscadello di Montalcino, Super Tuscans, Sant’Antimo,
and Chianti.
