Poliziano

Poliziano began in 1961 when Dino Carletti, moved by a romantic vision for his native land and its centuries of wine tradition, acquired the first parcel of 22 hectares around the area of Montepulciano. The name of the winery is a tribute to this indeed. In Italian, in fact, a native of Montepulciano is called a ‘Poliziano’, of which probably the most well-known in history is the humanist and poet Angelo Ambrogini (1454-1494), nicknamed "Poliziano", represented in the logo.

Federico Carletti, son of Dino, after completing his studies in agriculture, took over the management of Poliziano in the late 70s. He immediately made his mark and reached a philosophical turning point by studying and working exclusively with proprietary grapes ("Estate Winery"). The estate since his arrival has grown over the years until reaching 170 hectares of vineyards. Focused on quality viticulture, innovative yet respectful of the environment and tradition, it was soon possible for Federico to achieve a Vino Nobile of great body and great quality.

Firm in his belief of the potentiality of the territory of Montepulciano, Federico, for almost twenty years, has focused on reaching the highest expression of this territory in his wines; he has done this at every stage of production, from the vineyards to the cellar, allowing each bottle of wine to express both the tradition and authenticity of our splendid terroir. He has also dedicated himself to the production of "crus" of great renown and the complete elimination of chemical weeding and insecticides, revolutionizing the traditional techniques with a more ‘natural’ and sustainable approach which, from harvest 2021, will yield certified organic wines.

The family passion for wine and the territory continues with Francesco and Maria Stella, who since 2019 and 2021 respectively, function as essential advisors to Federico, ready to interpret and face both current and future challenges.
