Established in 1933, Col DOrcia is one of the historic names in Montalcino. Today the estate is owned today by Count Francesco Marone Cinzano, whose family bought Col dOrcia in 1973. Col dOrcia has long been celebrated as a producer of monumental Brunelli the iconic Riserva Poggio al Vento is one of the very greatest examples of Brunello
yet they also produces some excellent value Sangiovese-based reds (somewhat of a rarity in this region!).

The classic Chianti Gineprone (Sangiovese 93% and Canaiolo 7%) is a noble example of traditional Chianti with a slight austerity but rich in cherry and plum fruit on the midpalate.
