Orcia Sangiovese D.O.C is a testament to the rich winemaking heritage of Tuscany, produced from 100% Sangiovese Grosso grapes in the UNESCO World Heritage Park of Val d'Orcia. Nestled within the rolling hills of Montalcino at an altitude of 280 to 320 meters, these grapes thrive in a unique terroir where sunny days and cool nights help cultivate a perfect balance of flavors. The Terzuoli family, with centuries of agricultural expertise, brings this wine to life through meticulous organic practices and traditional methods, with every step from vine to bottle handled with care.
This particular Sangiovese was crafted to showcase the purity of its fruit-driven aromas, with vibrant notes of redcurrant, red cherry, and violets at its core. Its intense ruby-red color is a visual representation of its bold personality, while the flavors are dry, warm, soft, and well-balanced. The wine ages in large Slavonian oak barrels, allowing its natural tannins to soften, creating an elegant yet approachable structure that is easy to drink. Orcia Sangiovese pairs exceptionally well with traditional Tuscan cuisine such as white and red meats, cured meats, and medium-aged cheeses, making it a versatile and delightful choice for any occasion.
The 22,000 bottles produced annually reflect the care and attention invested by the Terzuoli family. The commitment to organic farming is evident in every step of the winemaking process—from harvesting by hand in late September to pruning and selecting only the finest grapes. Roberto Terzuoli, the current agronomist and oenologist, has furthered his family’s vision by enhancing the winery’s operations while maintaining the principles of sustainability, biodiversity, and respect for the environment.
