About this wine
Col d'Orica, elite Brunello de Montalcino
The apex of quality alongside its counterparts Barolo and Barbaresco, Brunello di Montalcino is among Italy’s most venerated wines. One of Montalcino’s most historic wineries, the Col d’Orcia estate’s lineage goes as far as 1890. Each exceptional, their Brunello di Montalcino is an extremely limited and highly sought-after wine perfect for a hedonistic celebrazione or the cellars of those in the know. Rich flavours, precise balance and refined tannins, it’s not hard to see why Brunello is often named the ‘king of wines’.

Antonio Galloni
The 1999 Brunello di Montalcino is starting to show early signs of maturity in its bouquet. Worn-in leather, spices, licorice and tobacco meld into sweet dark cherries and plums in this full-bodied, intense Brunello. There is still more than enough fruit and sheer power to allow the 1999 to drink well for another 15-20 years, perhaps longer. The style is very much on the masculine, virile side of things. If opened today the 1999 needs time to come together in the glass.

Decanter
Another dry, hot vintage, 1999 was rated five stars by the Brunello di Montalcino consortium. Marone Cinzano notes that his 1999 has always stood out for its immense concentration and tannic charge and has only recently come around. Expressive scents of anise and pressed violets make for an inviting entry. Grippy tannins assert their power on the palate, eventually yielding to a core of dark berries and sous-bois. Dense and full though properly proportioned, this has plenty of appeal now along with the substance and structure for at least another 10 years. Poured from magnum.
