Col d’Orcia Brunello di Montalcino 2020

Sweet and tart berries and fresh flowers kick off the palate, then crushed stones and herbs make themselves known. Strawberries and raspberries star on the palate, while undertones of orange peel, wild fennel and pepper provide balance. An integrated, coherent, immensely enjoyable wine. Col d’Orcia is hardly a secret, but could still be considered underappreciated for how great it is at this price threshold. (Danielle Callegari,wineenthusiast.com,Dec. 31, 2025)
