Each year Poggiolo select the optimum Brunello di Montalcino vineyard. Here great care from the vineyard to the winery is taken to produce a small quantity of In Riva Al Fosso. In the vineyard they commence the final pruning some 30 days prior to the harvest, next they sever 50% of the crop at the vine and allow these to wither on the vine until they are harvested together with the remaining grapes.

Finally, ageing in 500 litre wooden vats takes place for 1 year, here, the vats are purpose built using three different types of wood and replaced each year. (6 x 75 cl)
