Poggio Bonelli

There are numerous ways of falling in love with our terroir. With Poggio Bonelli, you will enjoy doing it through fine wines, gathering and exalting the essential characteristics of a land, its traditions, and the distinctiveness of its vines. A natural treasure that skilled professionals know how to translate into quality. A close-knit team of talented young men – under the guidance of the renowned enologist Carlo Ferrini – strive continuously to move forward and to excel. 88 hectares are dedicated to cultivating Sangiovese and other international vine varieties. The viticulture, a significant part of which is organic and respectful of the ecosystem, is carried out manually. Spurred cordon vine growing allows for lightening the load of the gems per plant, producing a greater concentration in the fruit—objective: to start from the quality of the vines.

A property that was sought after by some of the most important Sienese families, Poggio Bonelli has belonged to numerous different families throughout the centuries. Firstly, the Spennali family owned it during the Middle Ages and passed it into the hands of the Piccolomini family in the second half of the 16th century. In the following century, probably for dynastic reasons, it became the property of the Landucci family. Finally, at the beginning of the 21st century, it came to belong to the Banca Monte Paschi di Siena, the most ancient Italian bank in the territory of Siena. The wine estate is owned by the Banca Monte Paschi di Siena, which acts as a shareholder, while a team of professionals with long-standing experience in wine-making carries out the management. The result is a human, dynamic, and solid business.
