A big and modern cellar has been built under the property villa, perfectly included in the environment. The cellar is split into a storeroom devoted to fermentation, with thermic conditioned shafts equipped for automatic fulling with pneumatic rakes and with a special device devoted to sink the head of the must (extremely important for wine quality); into a bottling area; and into a wide storeroom organised for the stock of bottles in the refining process. |

A special care is given to the oak barrels' storeroom, where Brunello Villa Poggio Salvi is aging inside rows of slavonian oak barrels. The Brunello path begins with the "red" wine-making process and is then poured off in the oak barrels, where it is aged for three years before some more months of refining in bottles. A "grappa" (distillate) is produced from the fresh dregs of pressed Brunello grapes, extracted by a discontinuous process and poured into numbered and vintaged bottles. |
Villa Poggio Salvi's production includes more wines, such as Rosso di Montalcino from Sangiovese Grosso grapes, the Chianti "Caspagnolo" from a blend of Sangiovese and Merlot grapes, and the "Lavischio" wine, a fresh, fruity, rich and flavoured Merlot. Villa Poggio Salvi's wine assortment is completed by "Aurico", a fine and harmonious Moscadello di Montalcino sweet wine, produced in this county ever since 1500 ! |
