Poggio al Vento Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG

Riserva 2004

 

Production area:
Montalcino - Siena - Sant'Angelo in Colle. Hilly lands enjoying a favourable southern exposition.

Vineyard:
Poggio al Vento. Average height: 350 m above sea level. Planted in 1974.

Weather conditions:
Optimal weather conditions. Good spring rainfalls, not excessive temperatures in July and August with a few beneficial rainstorms. The vines have led grapes to perfect maturation. After some very early vintages, in 2004 there is a return to a "normal" harvest time, with beginning on September 20th for Sangiovese.

Grapes:
Particular clones of Sangiovese, locally called "Brunello". Vintage 2004 yield: 55 q/ha. Manual harvest with rigorous selection of the best bunches, in the vineyard at first and subsequently on the selection belt in the cellar.

Vinification:
Fermentation at controlled temperature below 30°C. 25 days of maceration in wide and short stainless steel tanks (greater contact between skins and must with a better polyphenolic extraction), daily punching down in the morning and pumping over in the evening.

Ageing:
4 years in Slavonian and French oak casks, followed by over 2 years of refinement in bottle, all of this in a conditioned environment.



Main Features

Colour:
Deep and dense ruby red with light garnet hues.

Bouquet:
Fine, intense, harmonious. The typical aromas of the great Sangiovese (ripe red fruits and tobacco) are perfectly balanced with the classical oak hints given by the long ageing in the barrique.

Taste:
The palate is overwhelmed by great emotions. The elegant body envelopes the ripe tannins well rounded with firm acidity. Long and memorable aftertaste.

Alcohol content:
14,5%

Total acidity level:
6.3 g/l

Serving temperature:
18° C

Pour the wine into ample glasses
