The story
The Il Poggiarello project began as a venture by the Ferrari and Perini families, whose shared history dates back to 1882. In the 1980s the family acquired about 20 hectares in Val Trebbia and launched the Il Poggiarello range to showcase the area's typical grape varieties, remaining family-run to this day and maintaining a strong link with Piacenza's winemaking culture.
Production philosophy
Four words guide the winery's approach: terroir, uniqueness, simplicity and ambition. The winery places great emphasis on the vineyard as the source of its wines, promoting biodiversity and environmentally friendly practices; the grapes are certified organic and interventions in the cellar are kept to a minimum to preserve their expressiveness.
Terroir and vineyards
The hills and valleys surrounding the Trebbia River, with views over the city of Piacenza and the surrounding plains: a context of limestone hills and favourable exposures that defines the style of Il Poggiarello's wines.
Awards and recognition
Individual wines from Il Poggiarello have received recognition: for example, 'Lo Straniero' has received scores from specialist guides, while 'Il Valandrea' and 'La Barbona' appear in rankings and have won medals, as reported on the product pages.
