The Poggiali family moves safely on a dual track of Chianti's orography: that of the Chianti Classico with Fèlsina in Castelnuovo Berardenga and in the denomination Chianti Colli Senesi with the Castello di Farnetella in Sinalunga.

The vineyards of the latter are located beyond the picturesque medieval village and reach the considerable altitude of 560 meters above sea level, dominating one of the most characteristic highlands of the area.

After meticulous mass selections, begun with the acquisition in the eighties, today the Sangiovese di Farnetella makes itself talked about thanks to well recognizable wines, set on balance and a well-orchestrated aromatic profile. Read more
