Obsessed by Nature: Everything you need to know about Col d'Orcia

In this open and enlightening conversation, Francesco Marone Cinzano and his son Santiago sit down with Stevie Kim for a deep dive into the history, philosophy and geography of the Col d'Orcia estate.

The name "Col d'Orcia" translates to "the hill overlooking the Orcia River," which describes the estate's prominent location. The estate is located on the southern slope of Montalcino in Tuscany near the Orcia River. It is situated in the heart of the Brunello di Montalcino region and is the largest organic estate in Tuscany.

Amongst the topics discussed today are the estate's production values and capacity, its commitment to organic farming, growing up on a remote vineyard in Chile, the challenges currently facing the sector, and, of course, the estate's "obsession" with nature. Finally, some pairing ideas!
