Riserva Poggio al Vento
Appellation: Brunello di Montalcino DOCG
Vintage: 2006
Production area: Montalcino (Siena)
Vineyards: Poggio al Vento, altitude 350 m a.s.l. Year of planting 1974.
Grape varieties: Sangiovese, special clones selected from Col d’Orcia. 
Climatic trend: rainy winter and not too cold. The slight delay at bud break was made up by June. Copious spring rains allowed the summer period to pass without stress, bringing the grapes to a very balanced ripening.
Vinification: temperature-controlled fermentation of 28°C in 50 and 60 hl steel vats in order to optimally select different areas of the vineyard. During maceration, lasting 20-25 days, daily pumping over and long delestages were performed. Malolactic fermentation was carried out in concrete, and the first racking was done directly into wood in spring 2007.
Aging: for 4 years in 25 and 75 hl Allier and Slavonian oak barrels. Bottling was followed by about 2 years of bottle aging in conditioned environments.
Alcohol content: 15 % vol.
Serving temperature: 18°
Organoleptic characteristics:
Color: Intense ruby red.
Bouquet: broad, intense and persistent. The typical berry notes of Sangiovese are enhanced by the spicy hints given by the long stay in the barrel.
Palate: combination of power and elegance. Excellent structure envelops soft, ripe tannins in perfect balance with pleasant acidity. Long, savory and fruity aftertaste.
