 91 puncte Robert Parker, 91 puncte James Suckling, 91 puncte Wine Spectator

Cea mai mare proprietate certificata organic din Toscana, Col d’Orcia este recunoscuta la nivel mondial drept unul dintre cei mai de succes producatori de Brunello di Montalcino din lume. Situata in provincia Siena, aproape de orasul medieval Montalcino, crama are o lunga istorie in domeniul viticol, istorie care a inceput undeva in secolul 18. Recomandarea noastra de astazi, Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2014 , este un vin rosu rubiniu cu tente violete, realizat din struguri Sangiovese. Bine echilibrat, vinul dezvaluie mai intai note olfactive complexe de fructe rosii bine coapte. Pe palat, se simt taninurile matasoase si aromele specifice invechirii in stejar, arome regasite si pe finalul lung si persistent. Savurati acest vin la 15-18 grade Celsius, alaturi de preparate la gratar, vita, branzeturi, mezze si mezeluri sofisticate.

• The 2014 Brunello di Montalcino opens to a ripe and dark quality of fruit. These tones underline the slightly warmer growing conditions present on the southern side of the appellation where Col d'Orcia is located. That extra warmth is an important factor especially in a cool and soggy vintage such as 2014. This wine appears to have suffered less compared to its peers. The bouquet is layered with rich aromas of cured meat, spicy tobacco and moist potting soil that add to the weight and gravitas of the wine. This Brunello is compact and mid-weight in terms of texture. Some 200,000 bottles were produced.

• Aromas of plums, flower and hints of asphalt follow through to a medium body, juicy and savory fruit and a flavorful finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
