Produced for the first time in 1983, it has been a Brunello DOCG since 1995 thanks to a modification to the disciplinary that reduced aging in wood to a minimum of 2 years. A classic and contemporary expression of Brunello that has gained great fame abroad, especially in the United States.

The variety of soils present in Poggio Antico offers rich and complex nuances: different expressions of the same vine can be found within the same vineyard. Thus emerged the Soil Units: 15 micro terroirs and 6 Macro units that enhance the Estate’s “geological symphony”.

The Soil Units go beyond the idea of «vineyard», dividing the 35-hectare property in areas with soils having the same characteristics, which can be found on different plots. Each Soil Unit is a “voice” of Poggio Antico, a unique and possible expression of its terroir.

The Soil Units offer an insight on the “natural origins” of each vineyard, identifying the needs of each area and the right time for harvest.

In the cellar, the Soil Units are vinified and fermented separately. After tasting the fruit of every single vinification, the “sound” of each Unit is harmonized to create the final wine.

CLIMATE

​

Catch a glimmer of the Tyrrhenian Sea, spreading for about fifty kilometers to the west, from its highest vineyards that rise for more than 500 meters. The sea offers constant ventilation that reduces humidity and eases averagely very hot temperatures.
