Tenute Toscane, a brilliant company led by Bruna Baroncini and her nephew Samuele, bought Poggio Il Castellare in Montalcino in 1998. Poggio Il Castellare stands on the top of the hill, surrounded by a radial of vineyards, as they say in Montalcino. The vineyards embrace the group of farmhouses that include the cellars, the residences and the welcoming places for visitors. The estate has a total of forty hectares of land, seven of which are dedicated to vineyards, two to truffle grounds, a wood rich in medicinal herbs, and the remaining part to arable land.
The company philosophy aims to protect tradition and will focus on organic as well as on the enhancement of all the excellence of Montalcino that are born in an extraordinary territory such as that of Val d'Orcia. The goal is to safeguard the uniqueness of Brunello by trying to enhance the fruit and aromas, to maintain the uniqueness and spiciness of Sangiovese grosso.
