The story
The estate was founded in the late 19th century by Florentine landowner Lavinio Franceschi. Il Poggione was among the first wineries to market Brunello di Montalcino, as early as the beginning of the 20th century; the Franceschi family continues the business today.
Production philosophy
The estate combines tradition with modern techniques, with particular attention to vineyard care. It says it follows sustainable farming practices, alternates crops, limits the use of chemicals and carries out vineyard work mainly by hand.
Terroir and vineyards
The estate is located in Sant’Angelo in Colle, about 10 km south of Montalcino. Its vineyards lie between 150 and 450 metres above sea level and benefit from their position between Mount Amiata and the Tyrrhenian Sea.
