Depth and energy define the 2016 Col d'Orcia Poggio al Vento Brunello di Montalcino Riserva, with lifted aromas of red cherry, wild berries, rose and sweet spice leading into a poised, full-bodied palate. The fruit is vivid and pure, edged by notes of tobacco, leather and dried herbs, while taut acidity and super-fine yet firm tannins give the wine a long, vertical finish that promises outstanding evolution in bottle. A superbly classical, tightly wound Poggio al Vento that will reward patience for many years.

Poggio al Vento is Col d’Orcia’s single‑vineyard Brunello Riserva from the wind‑exposed Sant’Angelo in Colle site — a 100% Sangiovese selection made only in top vintages, traditionally matured for many years in large oak (and sometimes barriques) before release. It’s known for powerful yet refined tannins, concentrated dark cherry and leather-spice notes driven by sandy, limestone soils at about 350 m elevation, and for the long‑ageing, old‑school structure that rewards extended cellaring.
