Toscana

Tuscany
is about to meet
its next great wine.

Tenuta Coró

The eighth place to call home.
And perhaps the most fitting.

The Daou family was not looking for an estate. They were looking for a terroir. Years spent crossing Tuscany, before Val d'Orcia confirmed what they had already sensed.

Beneath the surface: rare blue clays, found in only a handful of the world's greatest merlot terroirs.

This terroir was not chosen.
It was found.

Coró is the eighth
home of a family.

Lizzy, the Daou Family

To understand Coró, you have to look at the Daou brothers. Two Lebanese men whose journey took them to California, where they built one of the most celebrated estates on the West Coast. Convinced that the world's greatest wines are written in Europe, they chose Tuscany.

That is where Lizzy Daou, Daniel's daughter, asserts herself. An oenologist trained in Europe, seasoned in France, she does not embody the next generation: she is the present and the future. From vine to cellar, her palate guides the decisions, her exacting standards set the course. In this family project, she is the central piece.

The Wines

In 2026, the exceptional terroirs of Coró will produce their first great wines.

Vinification will take place in a vat room and barrel cellar meeting the highest oenological standards, in order to express all the complexity and finesse that this singular place has to offer.

What is being quietly built here, vintage after vintage, may well become one of the greatest wines in the world.

The name was always there.
Hidden in the hillside, in the ancient name of the estate, Tenuta Coró.
We just listened.
Coro — choir. Core — the essential. Oro — gold.

The Eighth Place

8

OCTA — The Wine of the Eighth Place

Each of us — Georges, Daniel, and Lizzy — has lived in exactly eight places. Lebanon. France. California. And now, Val d'Orcia. Tuscany is not simply our eighth address. It is the final destination. The place where all roads converge, where the restlessness of a lifetime gives way to rootedness. The number 8 is also the symbol of infinity — a loop without rupture, where every new beginning prolongs what came before. OCTA is named for this convergence. It is our most intimate wine: 100% Merlot, produced in minute quantities, intended for decades of cellaring. A wine not made for today, but for the generations that follow.

"The number 8 is not chance.

It is also the symbol of infinity —
a loop without rupture,
where every new beginning
prolongs what came before."
— The Daou Family

The Estate & Soil

Soils Shaped by Ancient Seas

All soils on the property are marl and limestone based — formed where an ancient sea once lay and shaped by the volcanic presence of Monte Amiata. The limestone preserves natural acidity. The diversity of minerals is written in color: red and orange signal iron; green indicates ferrous iron; purple and black reveal manganese. Each color is a mineral fingerprint; each gives nuance to the wine.

Cabernet Sauvignon grows on deep clays and on Galestro — the schist-like soil famed for aromatic complexity and drainage — and on ancient travertine at the summit where berries become small, dense, and highly concentrated. The Right Bank blend thrives on rocky upper blocks and red travertine soils rich in iron.

Lizzy Daou practices precision agriculture: every block is treated individually. Biodynamic preparations — 500P for soil health, 501 as a natural biostimulant — nurture the microbiome. Horses farm select clay blocks to prevent compaction. Everything is harvested by hand, at night, in small lots. No detail is overlooked.

Olio di Oliva

The Olive Orchard

Coró olive orchard

Ancient olive trees of the Coró orchard — Val d'Orcia

The estate's olive orchard is among the oldest living presences on the property — ancient trees whose roots reach as deep into this soil as the vines aspire to. When the Daou family acquired the land, the orchard came with it: a gift from the valley, and a responsibility. Rather than remove the trees, they chose to preserve and cultivate them, producing an extra virgin olive oil that is, like the wines, an expression of place before anything else.

The oil is pressed from hand-harvested olives, cold-extracted to preserve the full spectrum of aromas and polyphenols. It is bottled in a vessel designed to honor the land it comes from — dark above, stone-pale below, sealed with cork. Limited in quantity, offered only to those within the allocation circle.

Vineyard Story
For this wine the primary blocks were 2A, 3A, 1A, 3B and S.L.V. Block 4 — the "grande dame" of the vineyard — which was planted in 1972. These vines along with blocks on the eastern side of S.L.V., characterized by their fire-borne volcanic soils, give this wine its structure and sense of minerality along with concentrated dark fruit flavors and ripe, elegant tannins.

Vintage

A dry and hot growing season, coupled with a global pandemic, and multiple wildfires made 2020 a year we won't forget. Rain right at bloom interrupted fruit set and provided a "natural fruit thinning" that brought the crop in balance relative to the dry soil conditions. The warm weather this vintage produced wines with a riper character. We are very pleased with the resulting wines from the 2020 vintage (although there won't be as many bottles) to carry our legacy forward.

Wine

The 2020 S.L.V. Cabernet Sauvignon offers generous aromas of black fruit, cocoa, blackberry jam, ripe plum and baking spice. Integrated fruit and oak flavors meld on the palate with rich, polished tannins. The tannin structure, dark fruit, and pleasing minerality point to this wine's ability to age.
