Il Poggiolo Montalcino

Four generations of tradition, passion and excellence

L&' company, linked to the land for four generations, started in Castelnuovo dell'Abate with my grandfather Bramante, later founder of a &' workshop in San Angelo dedicated to the repair of tractors in the 1930s. Our story continues at Poggiolo, where today we produce numerous labels, each with a unique story and philosophy.

The real protagonist is my father, Roberto, who in 1971 bought Il Poggiolo, a farm then uninhabited without a cellar or vineyard. Despite the challenges, Roberto believed in &' adventure and planted the first three hectares. In 1980, the first 4,000 bottles of Brunello di Montalcino, a 1975 vintage, were born.

In 1985, I started the first Brunello di Montalcino Cru, Sassello, following the logic of French Crus. In 1989, after the death of my father, I inherited &' the company continued to produce wine as he would have done.

In this adventure, my partner Cecilia played a fundamental role, contributing to my intuitions and maintaining a balance in a relationship characterized by her sunny nature and my humoral nature
