The Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG Poggio al Vento by Col d'Orcia is one of the highest expressions of Sangiovese Grosso in Tuscany and one of the most iconic wines of the entire denomination. Produced only in exceptional vintages, this wine comes from the eponymous “Poggio al Vento” vineyard, located at about 350 meters above sea level on calcareous and galestro-rich soils, with a southwest exposure. The Riserva is the result of a meticulous grape selection and traditional winemaking, including long maceration and aging in large oak barrels for at least 36 months, followed by an extended period of bottle aging. The box containing the 2001, 2012, and 2015 vintages offers a sensory journey through three outstanding harvests, showcasing the wine's aging potential and extraordinary complexity.
