Col d'Orcia
Translated as ‘the hill overlooking the Orcia River,’ they produce exceptional wine that really makes use of the favourable climate and soil that this excellent location on the west border of Montalcino provides. Count Cinzano’s vineyard produces some of Italy’s most revered Brunello di Montalcino.

The 1995 Brunello di Montalcino emerges from the glass with hints of smoke, scorched earth, licorice and tobacco. Here, too, the aromas are more forward than the fruit, which remains big, powerful and virile. The tannins are quite firm, and the wine remains young, even after all these years. A huge, intense finish rounds things out. Today the 1995 comes across as a bit awkward. It should be a little more composed in another 2-3 years.Inc. GSTSG$929.18 -
Vinous (95+)
The 1995 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Poggio al Vento (magnum) is a gorgeous, vivid wine loaded with class and personality. Black cherries, smoke, tobacco, licorice, flowers and menthol explode from the glass as this multi-dimensional wine shows off its considerable class and pedigree. Layers of flavor continue to build in the glass over time. A cool streak of minerality frames the inward, mysterious finish. In magnum, the 1995 is truly spectacular. The October 9 harvest remains the latest recorded for Poggio al Vento.Inc. GSTSG$2,620.80
