Poggio Al Vento Riserva

Fermentation at controlled temperature of 28°C. in stainless steel tanks of 50 and 60 hl. The different areas of the vineyard were kept separate. During the maceration, that lasted 20-25 days, daily pump-over and long “delestages” were carried out. Malolactic fermentation took place in concrete. 3 years of aging in Slavonian and Allier oak barrels of 25 and 75 hl. followed by about 3 years of further aging in bottle before release.

In the heart of the estate, half way up the hill that overlooks the Orcia River, on a ridge gently sloping towards the South you can find the Poggio al Vento vineyard. The name literally means “windy hill” and this aspect in conjunction with the very unique soil composition of the area produce the exceptional Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Poggio al Vento.

Intense ruby red. Elegant and complex bouquet with fruity notes as cherry, blackberry and blueberries combined with tobacco hints, licorice aroma and toasty scents. Powerful, elegant and balanced wine with ripe and enveloping tannins. The finish is pleasantly fruity, sapid and persistent. 2013 - 96 Points Wine Advocate, 96 Points Wine Enthusiast
