For Episode 67, get ready to uncork a truly special episode of Read Between the Wines! Host Pierre Ferland sits down with the charming and insightful Santiago Marone Cinzano of Col d’Orcia, a 10th-generation winemaker with a story as rich and complex as the Brunello di Montalcino his family has perfected for centuries. Santiago spills the secrets of transforming Col d’Orcia into Tuscany’s largest organic winery—a “biological oasis” where tradition meets innovation. From their meticulous organic practices to the unique Val d’Orcia terroir, this episode dives deep into what makes Col d’Orcia a beacon of sustainability and quality. But here’s the twist: patience isn’t just a virtue—it’s practically a religion at Col d’Orcia. Santiago reveals La Filosofia della Pazienza (the philosophy of patience), a mindset that turns waiting into an art form, proving that the best things in life—like a perfectly aged Brunello—are worth the wait. Whether you’re a Brunello aficionado or simply love a great story, this episode is an absolute treat. Tune in and let Santiago’s passion for wine inspire your next pour! Finally, we offer bonus material - over 30 minutes of conversation with Santiago exclusively on our website.
