In the heart of Italy we are growing Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes at an avarage
altitude of 500 meters (500 yards) above sea level, on the east side of the Orcia river, that
offers optimal conditions, due to a very specific and mild micro clima.
The love for our farm, the passion for wine making and the intensive care for our olive groves
is not only visible in any corner, but even sentible to the last drop. At the end of each years’
efforts we are proud to present the following products:
The “Arcere”, our “battle ship”, a high class Orcia red wine created with a blend of
85% Sangiovese and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon. Prior its period in the bottle it was
aged for 6 month in medium toasted oak wood barrels.
The “Orcia”, a high class Orcia red wine created out of 100% Sangiovese grapes. Prior
its period in the bottle it was aged for 12 month in medium toasted oak wood barrels.
Because of the excellent quality it stands therefore between and outstands some of the
Rosso di Montalcino and Brunello wines easyly.
The “Arco”, made out of 90% Sangiovese and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 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 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.
Please visit us any time you like to try and to buy our products. As you like we proudly ship
them to your home, where ever you are.
