“Poggio al Vento” is the Brunello di Montalcino from the famous estate “Col d'Orcia,” one of the most important realities of the Ilcinese territory. The vineyards are located in the area of Sant’Angelo in Colle and have been managed since 2010 following the principles of organic farming. The mild climate, with Mediterranean influences and good temperature variations, is very suitable for the the cultivation of red grape varieties, particularly for Sangiovese. The cuvée is the fruit solely from the Poggio al Vento vineyard, located in the central area of a hill, at 350 meters above sea level, overlooking the Orcia river. The south-facing exposure, always very ventilated, and the suitable soils allow Sangiovese to express itself very well. At the end of the harvest, fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 28 °C, with a maceration on the skins of about 20-25 days, accompanied by periodic pump-overs and délestage. In the wine, malolactic fermentation occurs in cement tanks and it ages for 3 years in Allier and Slavonian oak barrels of 25 and 75 hl, followed by a bottle aging period of 16 months.
