Tenuta Col d'Orcia is one of Montalcino's historic estates, already present in 1933 under the name Fattoria di S. Angelo in Colle at the First Italian Wine Exhibition held in Siena, with three vintages of Brunello.

The estate's origins date back to the first half of the 17th century when the family of the Sienese noble knights Della Ciaia established a property in the Sant'Angelo in Colle area that became larger and larger year by year. In the second half of the 19th century, it passed into the hands of the Servadio family and then the Franceschi family.

In 1973, Count Alberto Marone Cinzano took over the estate, intending to contribute to the development and affirmation of Montalcino and its Brunello on world markets.

Our Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Poggio al Vento 2016 took second place in the 2024 ‘Enthusiast 100’, the ranking of the best wines of the year signed by the influential American magazine ‘Wine Enthusiast’.

Another wonderful piece of news, which follows Col d'Orcia's nomination as ‘European Winery of the Year’ at the 2024 Wine Star Awards of ‘Wine Enthusiast’ and confirms, for the third consecutive year, our wines at the top of the international rankings and critics. In 2022 the Brunello di Montalcino 2017 entered the top 100 of ‘Wine Spectator’, in 2023 the Poggio al Vento 2016 stood out in the top 100 of ‘James Suckling. Read more
