Founded in 1974, Avignonesi is the leading winery in the Montepulciano area of Tuscany.

Its flagship wine, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, is appreciated by critics and wine-lovers worldwide and the winery is also renowned worldwide for the unique dessert wines Vin Santo di Montepulciano and Occhio di Pernice.

The Alliance is a group of six Nobile producers (Salcheto, Poliziano, La Braccesca, Dei, Boscarelli, and Avignonesi), all sharing the dedication to the Nobile rediscovery.

The six winemakers have coordinated their respective work and each crafted a cru 100% Sangiovese Nobile specifically for this project.

The ‘Poggetto di Sopra’ brings out the characteristics of its environment, recalling the clay soil it lays upon.

Producer’s Tasting Notes

The wine shows grace and elegance, the bouquet is complex with tones of raspberry tart, Indian spices, especially clove and cardamom. The tannins are silky with a long lingering finish.
