Description
The winery was founded by the Paola Gloder family acquired in the 70s. Paola daughter of Giancarlo starts at the age of 21, learnig first the daily operations with Cludio Ferrett historic farmer of the estate for then taking the business side of the winery to a whole new level. The most iconic wine is the Brunello Altero which has been the very first Brunello aged in French oak. Poggio Antico are amongst the highest of the entire appellation 510 mt ((1,640 ft).). so high that on a clear day you can spot the Tirrenean sea side. This particular microenvironment is essential for the finesse and drinkability. The ancient and mixed soil is made up of calcareous rock and galestro (marl) forcing the Sangiovese grape to bring out its best expression, resulting in complex and elegant wines: the iconic Brunello. There is an obsession for managing of the vineyards where the winemaker classify Poggio Antico vineyards in 6 Macro units and 15 Soil Units: these represent the estate’s micro terroirs and are harvested and vinified separately. We choose their wines since the very beginning, as you can see the selection for the Riserva is the deepest you can find!
STYLE: Modern
POSITION: Highest point of the hill slightly south from the center of the Brunello map.
