Col d'Orcia Brunello di Montalcino 2015
Montalcino, Siena, Tuscany, ItalyCol D'Orcia is explained in the name: sun slope, down to the Orcia River, at the southwest border of Montalcino. This is the hill on which the 140 hectares of south west vineyards are planted and all the wines come from (140-440m). The image on the label represents the 3 rows of hills, and the hand pointing to the starts illustrates their reach for excellence. 2015 was an excellent vintage, with a solid warm period to provide mature and round tannins, but a cooler harvest to preserve acidity and freshness. This was fermented over 3 weeks in stainless before 3 years' rest in varying sized Slavonian and French oak casks. Lovely firmness and structure here, with savoury, dark cherry, tobacco, dark cocoa dusted tannins, a ripe cherry core, ample splices, and a spire of freshness driving this to the medicinal hued finish. Quite bold, as is the vintage, but still quite elegant, drinking very well now and will continue with 10+ years in your cellar.Tasted: 29 November 2020Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $55.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
