Aged for a full 3 years in the large barrels the 2012 Col d’Orcia is bright red. Very pure nose offers raspberry, pomegranate, and licorice. Fresh and vinous, with scented yet silky flavours of redcurrant, raspberry, flowers and spices perked up by firm acidity and a solid mineral spine. The finish is penetrating and long. This is a lovely example of the typical 2012 high acid, perfumed Brunellos. Kept a year in the bottle before release. Drink 2021-2036.
93 pts – James Suckling
Bright and freshly fruity with plum, cherry and walnut undertones. Medium to full body and firm and silky tannins. Really beautiful and bright. One of the best wines in years from here. Drink or hold.
