Col d'Orcia Description
91 Points Vinous
The 2020 Rosso di Montalcino wafts up with a classic mix of earth tones, Tuscan dust and bright strawberries. It’s silky yet cool-toned in feel with inner violet and lavender tones over a core of tart wild berry fruit. The 2020 leaves a coating of youthfully grippy tannins, yet it keeps the mouth watering as sweet minty herbs slowly fade. This is a fun and fruit-focused Rosso that maintains wonderful balance, and I love how savory, almost salty it is at times.
90 Points Jeb Dunnuck
There is a light umami note of shitake in the 2020 Rosso Di Montalcino as well as candied berries and pressed flowers. Medium-bodied, but generous with ripe cherry, strawberry, and fine tannins as well as a clean and polished finish, this is a lovely Rosso to drink over the next several years
Winemaker Notes
Deep ruby red color with violet hues. On the nose, ample and fruity with notes of small red ripe fruits, blackberry and cherry, well balanced with oak spices. On the palate, good structure, soft and pleasant tannins. The aftertaste is long, persistent and fruity.
Wine Enthusiast: 91 Points
This young Sangiovese offers classic varietal aromas of woodland berries, camphor and tilled earth along with a whiff of blue flower. Ripe but also showing bright fruit, the full-bodied, savory palate doles out fleshy Marasca cherry, prune and licorice alongside taut, fine-grained tannins that grip the finish. Best after 2023.
