The
Col D’Orcia estate is one of the oldest companies of Montalcino,
being present in 1933 with the name “Fattoria di Sant’Angelo
in Colle” at the First Exhibition of Italian wines held in
Siena, with three vintages of Brunello. The origin of the estate
dates back to the first half of the XVIII century when the noble
family Delle Ciaia of Siena established an estate in the area of
Sant’Angelo in Colle which increased year by year. In the second
half of the nineteenth century the ownership was passed to the Servadio
family and subsequently to the Franceschi family. In 1973 Count
Alberto Marone Cinzano took over the company, with the aim to contribute
to the development and success of Montalcino and its Brunello on
world markets. From 1977 the company has been under the direction
of Edoardo Virano and from 1992 the Col D’Orcia estate is presided
over by Count Francesco Marone Cinzano.
