Poggio al vento produces also a good spirit called "grappa" obtained with the destillation of the grape skins.
Once the grapes were croped and the wine tanks and barrels got filled, in the early November days, it is finally time to harvest our olive groves. After each day of picking the olives carefully by hand, we bring the selection of our varieties “Frantoio”, “Leccino”, “Moraiolo” and “Pendolino” to the old oil mills of Castiglione d’Orcia, where our extra vergin olive oil gets cold pressed. The best “Frantoio” olives end up as our special selection oil.
Not that we don’t have enough to do, but more out of passion we raise some bees. They thank us for our care every year in July with their excellent flower honey, conserving their and our efforts and the beauty of this landstrip.
