Winery Podere Poggio Scalette

The current Podere Poggio Scalette originated from the restoration of an abandoned property on the Ruffoli hill: Vittorio Fiore and his wife Adriana Assjè di Marcorà acquired the land in the early 1990s, establishing the estate as an independent concern in 1991 and expanding it with subsequent acquisitions in 1996. Over time the Fiore family has enhanced historic vineyards — in particular the cru known as "Il Carbonaione" — restoring the terraced plots to production and developing a range of IGT and Chianti Classico DOCG wines.

Production focused on expressing the territory: respect for the terraced soils and historic vineyards, with careful work in the vineyard and cellar to produce wines that reflect the altitude and exposure of Ruffoli’s vineyards. The estate states an approach rooted in a passion for the land, the vine and people, with attention to the local terroir.

The vineyards are located in the Alta Valle della Greve area, between 350 and 550 m above sea level, on terraced slopes characterized by sandy soils with a stony content; the hill of Ruffoli is considered one of the best areas of the Val di Greve for growing vines and olives.
