Col d'Orcia Brunello di Montalcino Poggio al Vento 2010 DOCG 0.75l

Col d'Orcia Brunello di Montalcino Poggio al Vento 2010 DOCG 0.75l is a wine that expresses the Montalcino terroir with measured severity, where the rows exposed to the sun and the coolness of the lateral shelters produce Sangiovese Grosso grapes capable of expressing rare complexity in this great vintage. The Col d'Orcia winery was born from the commitment of a family and a deep knowledge of the territory, a business that favors a simple yet ambitious work philosophy, aimed at preserving a balance between vigorous traditions and a contemporary approach to vineyard management. The vines that feed Poggio al Vento ripen in a distinctive geographical context, where sunny exposures coexist with clay and limestone soils, resulting in wines capable of slowly developing aromatic harmonies and a structure that sustains long aging. The production philosophy focuses on respectful agronomic management, meticulous grape selection, controlled fermentation, and an aging process that combines restraint and oak aging to bring out the wine's character without forcing it. Poggio al Vento stands out for its depth of flavor, combining ripe red fruit, subtle spice, and a mineral note reminiscent of Sangiovese underbrush, with dense yet smooth tannins and a savory finish that invites aging. This wine occupies a prominent position within the Col d'Orcia range: not only an isolated cornerstone of a tradition, but also a benchmark for those seeking elegance, longevity, and precision in a Brunello di Montalcino. The sensory experience unfolds like a story: on the nose, notes of black cherry emerge, a hint of cocoa and peppery pepper; on the palate, a creamy texture, intense red fruit, and a distinct minerality, with a lingering finish. Ultimately, Poggio al Vento embodies a noble interpretation of the Brunello di Montalcino DOCG denomination, offering a wine that enhances the Tuscan territory in a 0.75l bottle ready to dialogue with protagonists of the table and with collections of fine vintages, and ends on a note of identity consistent with the STELT positioning: authenticity, reason and inspiration for those seeking style and substance over time.
