Planted to approximately 12 hectares (29 acres) of vines, Poggerino’s wines are produced exclusively from its own grapes, and every step of the wine production and marketing is carried out by the owners themselves. The winery believes in an almost fanatical attention to vineyard work. It is in the vineyard that they strive to produce healthy grapes, which have attained the highest degree of concentration and ripeness possible, as this is key to the production of wines of style and character that can fully reflect the individuality of Poggerino’s terroir.

The wines produced from predominantly Sangiovese grapes combine a richness and concentration of fruit, acidity and tannin, indispensable to the wine’s longevity, while the soft, ripe nature of the tannins allows the wines to be enjoyed earlier than most of its counterparts.

Poggerino’s vineyards are located 400 to 500 meters above sea level, and face south-southwest. The soil is rocky, due to the breakup of the local “galestro” rock, which provides optimal drainage. These factors are all essential in the quest to produce great Sangiovese.
