Released seven years after the harvest, the 2010 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Poggio al Vento is a stunning wine. It soars to the highest altitudes in terms of elegance and power. These opposite forces—muscle versus grace—are what distinguish this classic vintage. Col d’Orcia has effortlessly captured and immortalized both sides of the continuum. The bouquet produces a long succession of aromas including dried cherry fruit, licorice, cola, lavender flower, cured meat and black truffle. The velvety finish is supple and long in persistence. This is a gorgeous creation.

Varietal

Sangiovese

The name of this grape, meaning 'blood of Jove' conjures up evocative images of long dead civilizations, and gives the Sangiovese varietal a sense of the holy, the sacred, the special. Indeed, this particular type of Italian grape has been cultivated and processed for thousands of years, and is said to be the original favorite grape varietal of the Romans, and the Etruscans before them. Throughout history, vintners have continued to plant this varietal, and they continue to produce wonderful wines to this day. The long bunches of very dark, round fruit are treasured by fine wineries in Italy and a few other places around the world, and when young, these grapes are lively â€“ full of strawberry flavors and a little spiciness. However, it is when they are aged in oak that they take on some truly special flavors and aromas, as seen in some of the finest wines of the Old World.

Country

Italy

There are few countries in the world with a viticultural history as long or as illustrious as that claimed by Italy. Grapes were first being grown and cultivated on Italian soil several thousand years ago by the Greeks and the Pheonicians, who named Italy 'Oenotria' – the land of wines – so impressed were they with the climate and the suitability of the soil for wine production. Of course, it was the rise of the Roman Empire which had the most lasting influence on wine production in Italy, and their influence can still be felt today, as much of the riches of the empire came about through their enthusiasm for producing wines and exporting it to neighbouring countries. Since those times, a vast amount of Italian land has remained primarily for vine cultivation, and thousands of wineries can be found throughout the entire length and breadth of this beautiful country, drenched in Mediterranean sunshine and benefiting from the excellent fertile soils found there. Italy remains very much a 'land of wines', and one could not imagine this country, its landscape and culture, without it.

Region

Tuscany

The central Italian region of Tuscany is widely understood to be one of the world's most famous and highly regarded wine regions. The beautiful rolling hillsides and medieval towns and castles which are a key feature of the area are also home to many of Europe's finest wineries, and extremely high quality vineyards growing the distinctive Sangiovese and Vernaccia grape varietals which are the flavorful backbone of Tuscany's wonderful red and white wines. For almost three thousand years, this region has been recognized as an ideal home for wine production on a large scale, and the ancient Etruscans, Greeks and Romans all noticed that fine grape varietals flourished on the unique soils and under the hot sunshine which typifies the area. Today, Tuscany is home to a wide range of wines, from the traditional to the complex, but all dedicated to excellent flavors and aromas, and maintaining the region's international reputation.

Appellation

Brunello Di Montalcino

Brunello di Montalcino, an esteemed wine appellation in Tuscany, Italy, has been crafting exceptional red wines since its establishment in 1966. Focused exclusively on the Sangiovese grape, specifically the local Brunello clone, this region's unique terroir of warm, dry climate and well-drained soils imparts richness and complexity to the wines. The hallmark of Brunello is its extended aging, requiring a minimum of four years, with at least two spent in oak barrels. This meticulous process results in bold, full-bodied wines with robust tannins, vibrant acidity, and a remarkable aging potential. Flavors of ripe red berries and dark cherries, coupled with notes of leather, tobacco, and spices, define the nuanced profile of Brunello di Montalcino wines. Exploring these wines offers enthusiasts a captivating journey into the world of Italian winemaking, showcasing the harmonious blend of tradition, terroir, and meticulous craftsmanship.

Dark, rich and seductive, the 2010 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Poggio al Vento shows ginger-spiced cookie with hints of leather and smoke, before opening further to reveal black cherry fruits. While cool-toned and pliant, it has velvety textures that find a wonderful balance in the tart blackberry fruits and exotic inner spices. The balance here is amazing, sometimes sweet and sometimes sour, all framed by youthfully grippy tannins and hints of cranberry and spice. Bury the 2010 deep in the cellar, and reap the rewards for decades to come.

The celebrated 2010 vintage in Montalcino registered good levels of rainfall in spring followed by a warm and dry summer with no temperature extremes. September was balanced with great night and day temperature variations. The crystalline ruby garnet colour of this wine suggests lively and complex Sangiovese with a peacock's tail profile comprising wild cranberry, sweet violet, fresh leather, tobacco and peanut which is a typical aroma of Brunello from Sant'Angelo in Colle. The attack is dense and full with velvety tannins and vibrant acidity that well balances the alcohol at 15%. One of the richest wines in the flight in terms of dry extract (31.4g/l), with stunning grace and fine potential due to the lifted cherry fruit flavour.

A big and rich Brunello with plenty of ripe fruit, chocolate and hazelnut. Full body and round and chewy tannins. Solid as a rock. Drink now or hold.

Wine Spectator

Broad-shouldered and dense, with plum, cherry, leather, iron and tobacco flavors gaining intensity as this complex red evolves on the palate. The finish is very stony, with a lingering aftertaste of chalk and iron. Drink now through 2030. 1,600 cases made, 160 cases imported.

Winery Notes

Rated 93 - This 2010 Col d’Orcia Brunello di Montalcino Poggio al Vento Riserva still looks youthful with an almost opaque, dark garnet color. 2010 was celebrated as a very good quality, classic vintage as there was plenty of rainfall in spring, a hot, dry summer and cool September nights. On the nose the fruit is subdued right now, but there are some tar and waxy, resin-type aromas. On the palate the flavors are of dark woodland berries, with semi-ripe blackberry, crunchy bramble and licorice notes. The tannins are firm with a slightly green element to them. The wine feels a little austere and lacks some ‘joi de vivre’, but it has good concentration, a pleasing texture and weight, and as always a refreshing acidity on the finish. - The Wine Independent
