We grow grapes, olives and raise bees. Our vineyards are on a 500 m hill and the variety of the grapes are Sangiovese with rounded leafs and Cabernet Sauvignon. All these species are very comfortable with the mild tuscan climate without any hot eccess during summer or freezy temperatures during winter.thanks to the woods and the mountains tha surrounds our farm. It's from these characteristics that we produce our wines d.o.c. Orcia rosso:

- Arcere, the most precious made by Sangiovese 85% and Cabernet Sauvignon 15% aged in oak barriques for 12 months and then almost 6 months in the bottle.

- Sangiovese 100% excellent quality aged in oak barriques for 12 months and then almost 4 months in the bottle.

- Arco, made by Sangiovese 90% and 10% round leafs quality, aged in steel tanks for 12 months and then almost 3 months in the bottle.

Poggio al vento produces also a good spirit called "grappa" obtained from the grapes' skins distillation.

Each year, at the end of october we begin the olive picking ad we go to the mill every two days to obtain the typical green tuscan olive oil called "olio novo". Our experience let us to produce two kind of olive oil: the first from the varieties " FRANTOIO, LECCINO, MORAIOLO and PENDOLINO" the second one is a single variety oil from "FRANTOIO" obtained one week after picking.

On july, when the temperature rises and flowers stop their bloom we extract our honey from beehives.

All the products are available for free tasting and on sale directly in our farm or can be shipped worldwide.
