“POGGIO al TUFO” estate (POGGIO = hill ; TUFO = tuff / volcanic soil) is located in Pitigliano, a very important Etruscan city in the Maremma Toscana area (south of Tuscany), a few Km from Sovana, Sorano and Saturnia and about one hour north of Rome.
It has been owned by the Tommasi family since 1997.
The estate, about 350 metres above sea level, is 66 ha of vineyards, and has volcanic origins - meaning they are very rich in “tufo”.
After a very meticulous analysis of the soil and climate, the estate was replanted with selected clones of indigenous and international grape varieties.
The mitigating influence of the Mediterranean (25 Km away) prevents drastic temperature variations and the vines flower and ripen early thanks to the stable, fairly warm microclimate with its extraordinary light during the final phases of ripening.
The wines produced in this estate are:
AL ICANT E from “Bottinello” vineyard with Alicante Bouschet grapes
VERMENT INO from “Montebuono” vineyard with Vermentino grapes
ROMPICOLLO from “Rompicollo” vineyard with Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes
CA BERNET SAUVIGNON from “Rompicollo” vineyard with Cabernet Sauvignon grapes
