Col D’Orcia Brunello di Montalcino DOCG (2015) Bio
Col D’Orcia is a traditional producer of Brunello di Montalcino. The choice of continuing to use Slavonian oak barrels was made many years ago, well before the debate between modernist and traditionalist producers began. Tradition means respect for the essence of Sangiovese di Montalcino which lies in the potential for aging, in the improvement of the wine through its long stay in wood and the consequent aging in the bottle.
