Col D'Orcia Brunello di Montalcino Magnum 2021

Col d'Orcia’s Brunello di Montalcino Magnum 2021 is a classic expression of one of Tuscany’s most celebrated appellations, crafted entirely from Sangiovese grown in the hills of Montalcino. Produced by one of the region’s historic estates and shaped by an organic philosophy, it combines heritage, precision, and the generous format of a magnum for extended development in bottle.

Tasting Notes
Expect a deep ruby-red color that may begin to show garnet highlights with age. On the nose, it typically offers layers of ripe red cherry, dried herbs, violets, and subtle spice, with earthy and tobacco nuances emerging as it evolves. On the palate, Brunello di Montalcino is known for its structure, freshness, and finely grained tannins, balanced by vivid acidity and a long, savory finish. This 2021 vintage should have excellent aging potential, developing greater complexity over time with notes of leather, forest floor, and dried fruit.

Production
The grapes come from Montalcino in southern Tuscany, where the combination of hillside vineyards, sun exposure, and well-drained soils provides ideal conditions for Sangiovese. Harvest is done manually in baskets, allowing only the best fruit to be selected at the right point of ripeness. Fermentation takes place on the skins with natural indigenous yeasts at a controlled temperature below 30°C for 18-20 days, in specially designed tanks that gently extract tannins and color. The wine then matures for four years in Slovenian and allied oak casks, followed by at least six months in bottle before release.

Food & Serving
This is a superb match for roast lamb, grilled steak, wild boar, porcini risotto, and aged hard cheeses such as Pecorino Toscano. Serve at 16-18°C, and decant for at least 1-2 hours if drinking young to allow the wine to open and soften.

Producer
Col d'Orcia is one of Montalcino’s most important historic estates, with roots tracing back to the second half of the 17th century and modern activity dating to 1933. The winery is widely recognized for its commitment to organic viticulture and for producing wines deeply tied to Tuscan tradition, earning acclaim from leading critics and publications including Wine Enthusiast, Decanter, and Vinous.
