Col d'Orcia Nearco 2021

Col d’Orcia means the hill overlooking the Orcia River. The Orcia River marks the South West border of the Brunello di Montalcino territory in Tuscany . 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.

The Mediterranean climate, the Montalcino “terroir”, the nobility of Merlot and Syrah, and the knowledge and the passion of the Col d'Orcia team all came together to create Nearco. On the gentle southern hillsides of Montalcino, embedded in the middle of Brunello vineyards, one can find the plots dedicated to the great international varieties that made the Tuscan reds so famous. Real “cru”, where Merlot and Syrah have found ideal growing conditions to express their celebrated class at its best. A new wine of great impact and structure, where the softness of the Merlot is married perfectly with the spicy fruit of the Syrah.

Tasting Notes

Deep ruby red. The fragrant bouquet of dried fruits such as mulberry and plum is combined with elegant notes of vanilla and coffee coming from the oak. Elegant and enveloping wine with soft and ripe tannins. It closes with a pleasant persistence.

Merlot, Syrah, and Petit Verdot
