Poggiotondo was founded in 1968 by Carlo Antonini. Carlo’s
passion for agriculture and beekeeping led him to buy an estate
with three hectares of vines in the west of Chianti. This passion was
inherited by his son Alberto who, along with his wife Alessandra,
runs the now 50-hectare estate today. Alberto is a renowned
winemaker in his own right, consulting for a broad selection of
award-winning wineries across the world. At Poggiotondo, he is
dedicated to making authentic, pure expressions of indigenous
Tuscan grapes, including Sangiovese, Canaiolo, Colorino and
Trebbiano. The estate’s vineyards have been certified organic
since 2014. In the winery, they utilise concrete tanks and untoasted
oak casks to preserve their wines' fruit, vitality and texture.
