The story
The estate was reconverted to vineyards beginning in the 1960s. In 1969 it was acquired by a company that began converting the land to viticulture. The first harvest is recorded in 1973 and the first wine marketed under the Val di Suga label dates from 1975. In the 1980s the company began to promote single-vineyard wines and in 1994 it joined the Tenimenti Angelini group. In 2009 the cru Poggio al Granchio was created; more recently the company's image was redesigned to emphasize the three production areas.
Production philosophy
The style is oriented around the concept of terroir: the estate interprets Sangiovese through three different exposures and soils, producing both single-vineyard wines and blends that seek balance among the components. Attention is paid to the relationship between the landscape, cellar development and tasting.
Terroir and vineyards
Located in Montalcino, in the heart of the Val d'Orcia, the estate comprises vineyards on three aspects of the hill, with distinct microclimates and variable soils — from galestro to sand and clay — that contribute to the varied expressions of Sangiovese.
