DESCRIPTION
Col d'Orcia is a traditional producer of Brunello di Montalcino. The choice to continue using Slavonian oak barrels was made many years ago, well before the debate between modernist and traditionalist producers even started. Tradition means respect for the essence of Sangiovese di Montalcino which lies in the aging potential, in the improvement of the wine through the long permanence in wood and in the consequent aging in the bottle. Even today, in Col d'Orcia, Brunello di Montalcino is aged for 3 full years in large oak barrels before bottling and is kept in the cellar for 1 year before being released on the market.

CELLAR
Col d'Orcia is one of the historic companies of Montalcino. Today's lineage dates back to at least 1890, the date on which official documents show that the Franceschi family originally from Florence bought the property, later known as Fattoria di Sant'Angelo in Colle. In early 1933 the Fattoria di Sant'Angelo in Colle presented its Brunellis at the "wine exhibition" (First Exhibition of Italian Wines) held in Siena, one of the first commercial activities presented in Italy, decades before the Brunello became a precious (first class) wine of international and world level.
