Tenuta Il Poggione

Montalcino

With a history that dates back to the 19th Century Il Poggione is one of Montalcino’s major wineries: it covers a surface area of 600 hectares, of which 125 hectares are planted with vines, 70 with olive groves and the rest are arable and woodland.

Il Poggione's guiding principle is to pay meticulous attention to its vineyards. By practising 'Green Harvesting', regularly monitoring the condition of the vineyards and checking the soils nutritional content the quality of fruit produced is excellent even in less favourable vintages.

On the Poggione estate, the grapes are all harvested entirely by hand and the wine is made by the traditional method, although modern, state-of-the-art equipment is used. Total control of the vinification process is guaranteed, thanks to the new cellar built in the centre of the estate in 2004 and the introduction of extremely advanced technology, but as tradition is important, the company keeps the large French oak barrels used for aging the great Tenuta Il Poggione red wines five metres below ground.
