Brunello di Montalcino DOCG

Guaranteed appellation of controlled origin

The special location of the Villa Poggio Salvi estate enables the production of an
exceptional, very elegant Brunello, from Sangiovese grapes picked by hand with
great care. A short path lies between the vineyards and the wine-making cellar,
hindering an undesired fermentation start or eventual transport damages to the
grape-stones. Its main characteristics, in particular the distinctively intense
fragrance, the prompt and harmonious roundness of tannins, and the long
aftertaste, are the result of the noteworthy microclimatic position of the originating
vineyards.
