Col d’Orcia Grappa di Brunello di Montalcino

Col d’Orcia means the hill overlooking the Orcia River. The Orcia River marks the South West border of the Brunello di Montalcino territory and the name of the farm is intrinsically linked to the physical location were the vineyards are planted. It is the mission of Col d’Orcia to produce the best possible wines that the exceptional combination of soil and climate of this part of Montalcino can achieve. Since 2010 the whole estate is run following exclusively organic agricultural practices.

Grappa made from grape skins vinified to produce the Brunello di Montalcino “Col D’Orcia” and distilled according to the traditional discontinuous method in steam coppers. This skilled mix exalts fresh aroma and the mellow taste.
