The 2008 Poggio al Vento Riserva is a beautifully distinguished and finely structured expression of one of Montalcino’s most iconic single vineyards. Its bouquet opens with layered aromas of dried cherry, redcurrant, rose petal, sweet tobacco, and herbs, framed by accents of cedar, warm earth, and subtle spice. On the palate, the wine is poised and tightly woven, offering a vibrant core of red fruit supported by firm yet refined tannins and a lively acidity that gives the wine remarkable lift. Notes of savory herbs, crushed stone, and a gentle balsamic nuance build through a long, elegant, and deeply resonant finish. Still youthful in its structure yet already showing complexity and harmony, the 2008 Poggio al Vento is a true connoisseur’s Brunello—precise, noble, and crafted for decades of graceful evolution.

Col d’Orcia is a cornerstone of traditional Brunello, a historic estate whose expansive holdings on the southwestern slopes of Montalcino are dedicated entirely to organic and environmentally respectful viticulture. The property’s position overlooking the Orcia River provides abundant sunlight, cooling breezes, and a mosaic of clay, limestone, and gravel-rich soils that give Sangiovese both structure and expressive aromatic lift. While the estate is known for its classic Brunello, its crown jewel is Poggio al Vento, a single-vineyard site of exceptional pedigree. Here, meticulous vineyard work, strict fruit selection, and long aging in large oak casks come together to create one of Tuscany’s most profound, long-lived expressions of Sangiovese. Col d’Orcia’s philosophy is steadfastly rooted in purity, patience, and terroir transparency, resulting in wines that embody the noblest traditions of Montalcino.
