Wine Description for Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2020 by Col d’Orcia

Colour & Appearance
A deep ruby red with delicate violet reflections at the rim.
Nose
An honest, classic Sangiovese bouquet of impressive depth: juicy black cherries, raspberries and barberries merge with blood orange, dark plum and cherry stones. Behind these, delicate nuances of cedar, mint, dried violets, a touch of cinnamon, leaf litter and cool, crushed stone reveal themselves.
Palate
On the palate, the wine presents itself as seductive, dense and extraordinarily smooth. The interplay of ripe berry fruit, lively acidity and a striking tannic structure lends it both elegance and down-to-earth character. Savoury notes of bread spice, quatre-épices and delicate foliage support the juicy texture.
Finish
Very long and mouth-coating with lingering hints of liquorice and lightly candied orange zest.
Terroir & Origin
The Sangiovese grapes ripen at around 300 metres altitude in south-facing vineyard sites above the river Orcia. The Marone Cinzano family estate encompasses 142 hectares of vines within the UNESCO World Heritage Val d’Orcia and is the largest certified organic winery in Tuscany, where the estate’s own livestock and home-made compost strengthen the ecosystem.
Grape Variety & Vinification
100% Sangiovese, hand-selected. Following a 15-day maceration in specially crafted, shallow stainless steel tanks, the wine matures for four years: 32 months of which are spent traditionally in large Slavonian and Allier oak casks (25 to 75 hl), followed by at least 12 months in the bottle.
Food Pairings
Perfect with classic Bistecca alla Fiorentina, braised wild boar stew, roasted leg of lamb with rosemary or aged Pecorino Toscano.
Key Features
A timeless, old-school Brunello. The Cinzanos place an uncompromising focus on ageing in traditional large oak casks rather than fashionable barriques, lending the wine its unadulterated, age-worthy style. The estate’s organic commitment was honoured as Environmental Advocate of the Year 2025 for its ecological dedication.
