Sweet and tart berries and fresh flowers kick off the palate, then crushed stones and herbs make themselves known. Strawberries and raspberries star on the palate, while undertones of orange peel, wild fennel and pepper provide balance. An integrated, coherent, immensely enjoyable wine. Col d'Orcia is hardly a secret, but could still be considered underappreciated for how great it is at this price threshold.

The organic Col d'Orcia 2020 Brunello di Montalcino offers a classic Sangiovese bouquet with warm-vintage intensity. It shows sweet aromas of raspberry tart and cooked cherry. There is a delicate element of smoked spice at the back. The tannins are open-knit, and the wine offers immediate drinking pleasure. It should be exciting to follow this wine's future evolution. "We try to protect the freshness of Sangiovese," says Count Francesco Marone Cinzano. "That is our reading of traditional Brunello."

A fresh and refined red with plum and orange character, as well as fine tannins. It’s medium-bodied, lively and focused. A little tight at the end, suggesting two or three years will allow it to open. A more traditional Brunello here. Drink after 2027.

Balsamic notes of tomato leaf, juniper and thyme rub shoulders with strawberry, cherry, blood orange and earth in this dry, elegant red. Ends firmly, with lightly chewy tannins and a mouthwatering feel. Best from 2027 through 2042. 20,000 cases made, 4,200 cases imported.

The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino opens slowly with a blend of black cherry and minty herb scents elevated by hints of blood orange. It displays silky textures and a lifted feel, with tart wild berry fruit aromas and mineral tones accentuated by rosy inner florals. The 2020 imparts edgy tannins offset by a tinge of zesty acidity.
