A leading producer of fine Brunello (the #1 fastest growing category of the top 10 Italian Red Varietals in $*), Col d’Orcia routinely sets the standard for excellence in Montalcino. It is the largest certified fully organic estate in Tuscany, marrying traditional winemaking techniques with a staunch focus on sustainability and integrity. This accolade celebrates the 2016 vintage of Poggio al Vento’s consistent rankings of 95 points or higher over the course of the year and speaks to the lasting impression it left on the reviewers (the 2016 Poggio has a 96-point rating from Danielle Callegari, Wine Enthusiast’s Writer-at-Large for Tuscany and Southern Italy).
“It’s a great honor to see our wine ranked #2 on the 100 Best Wines of 2024 list,” exclaims Santiago Cinzano, third-generation winemaker at Col d’Orcia. “We are truly so happy — thank you so much, Wine Enthusiast! Ad maiora [toward greater things]!”.
Each year, Wine Enthusiast releases a list of its Top 100 Wines, which ranks standout selections based on pedigree, structure, and staying power. The annual list is published in the Best of Year issue and online.
