Col d’Orcia, meaning "the hill overlooking River Orcia," is situated in the picturesque Brunello di Montalcino region of Tuscany. This winery is dedicated to producing exceptional wines that reflect the unique climate and soil of the area. In 2010, Col d’Orcia earned its organic farming certification, making it the largest organic winery in Tuscany. The estate's gardens, olive groves, fields, and vineyards are cultivated using sustainable practices.
The vineyards thrive in hilly terrain with limestone-rich soil, ideal for grape cultivation. With ample sunshine, the grapes reach perfect ripeness. Spanning 144 hectares, the estate includes notable vineyards such as Poggio al Vento, Bozzolino, and Banditella. Here, organic varieties of Sangiovese, Merlot, Cabernet, Syrah, Petit Verdot, Ciliegiolo, Moscato, and Bianco are grown, contributing to a diverse range of red, white, and dessert wines.
Col d’Orcia's winemaking facility features stainless steel tanks with a capacity of 8,400 hectoliters, equipped with temperature control systems. The aging cellar, established in 1990, utilizes Allier and Slavonian oak barrels, ensuring that each wine batch receives the attention it deserves. The size of the barrels and aging duration vary, reflecting the winery's commitment to tradition, integrity, and sustainability. Col d’Orcia's classic-style wines are celebrated globally for their quality and craftsmanship.

Wine tasting at the winery “Col d'Orcia”: Here we meet Francesco Cinzano, who is the chairman of the visionary “Col d'Orcia” winery. The Cinzano family arrived in 1973 in this area. It is now an organic producer of world class red wines. “Col d’Orcia” literally means the hill overlooking the Orcia river. This river marks the south west border of the Brunello di Montalcino territory. The name of the farm is intrinsically linked to the physical location where the vineyards are planted. Inside the estate there is a little shop, where the charming Daniela Dragoni is selling the delicious wines, which are produced here. We decided for the “Rosso di Montalcino”. This wine is a classic wine, made also with pure Sangiovese grapes. It is released already one year after the harvest. This way it retains all the freshness and fruitiness of a young wine. At the same time, it develops the intensity that only the Montalcino area is capable to deliver. Daniela has also a very tasty olive oil and a variety of local produced noodles to offer.

Wonderful experience immersed in nature, history and the commitment that has led this company to strive for excellence, bio-sustainability and the preservation of biodiversity. Our guide Enrico accompanied us on this journey with professionalism and kindness, introducing us to these three wines that we had the pleasure of tasting. Calling this experience a "tasting" is really an understatement for those who manage to "go beyond" and appreciate the beauty of much more! To repeat, to learn and explore more!

Tasting of 7 wines and a beer. Very interesting pure Cabernet Sauvignon. Brunello still needs a few years of aging. Beautiful estate
