May 24, Montalcino, Col d'Orcia Estate | Fabulous Brunello and Tuscan Hospitality


The first stop off was in Montalcino, in the heart of the Tuscan vine growing area. Here, the crews received a sumptuous welcome in the magnificen  Col d’Orcia Estate, one of the most prestigious cellars making Brunello di Montalcino where the encounter between two exceptional centenarians was celebrated in style with "déjeuner sur l’herbe".
After parking their cars in the vast meadows in front of the winery, !the Bugatti drivers had the chance to relax an !enjoy the atmosphere of the Siena hills and excellent Tuscan hospitality.
An impressive long table, with places set for over three hundred diners in the shade of ancient tuscan cypresses, aroused great admiration. this delightful location, with its 540 hectares of beautiful countryside, lying in the heart of the Orcia Valley at an altitude of about 1350 ft, and the atmosphere of international friendship among the participants were ideally offset by the tasting of the noble Brunello made by Col d'Orcia, one of the oldest wine producers in Montalcino, dating back to the early 17th century.
