Col d'Orcia's owner, Count Francesco Marone Cinzano, is also the president of the consortium of Brunello producers, which put him and his winery at the very center of 2008's scandal. Cinzono's storied estate, one of the oldest companies in Montalcino, promotes both development and tradition, rising above any controversy. And they produce awesome wine.
