Col d'Orcia

In the heart of the estate, halfway up the hill overlooking the Orcia river, in a moderately oblique point towards the South, is the Poggio al Vento vineyard. The name literally means "hill exposed to the wind" and this aspect in conjunction with the particular composition of the soil produces the exceptional Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Poggio al Vento. The dominant and elegant tannins present in the wine require long and traditional aging in large oak barrels. After bottling the wine requires another 3 years of refinement in the bottle before being presented on the market. Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Poggio al Vento is produced only in the best vintages and represents one of the highest expressions of pure Sangiovese that can be found in Montalcino.
