The Vineyards

Balance is the core principle of Tenuta la Poggiona’s wine-growing philosophy. The vineyard is understood as a living ecosystem sustained by a complex network of biological diversity. Organic farming has deepened this understanding, highlighting the soil as a living entity, essential to sustainable viticulture and the well being of the vineyard.

Organic certification reflects the low-impact approach from vineyard to cellar, centred on the character of each parcel and the natural expression, freshness, and purity of the fruit.

Sangiovese is at the heart of the project.
The vineyards of Tenuta La Poggiona are made up of 85% native Sangiovese, alongside Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, which find here the conditions to fully express their character. Small parcels are also planted with Carmenere, Syrah, and Vermentino.

CHIANTI CLASSICO D.O.C.G

Tenuta la Poggiona Chianti Classico has been the centrepiece of the estate’s winemaking operations since day one.
The grapes are sourced from carefully selected hillside parcels, each with its own soil, exposure, and altitude, capturing the diversity and its expressive character.

The individuality of each parcel is preserved through micro vinifications, before assembling them, always true to the personality of the vintage. After patient maturation, the wine develops brilliance, clarity, freshness mantaining the purity of fruit. A very intimate interpretation of Sangiovese.
