ARISTOCRATIC AND MODERN WINES WITH STRONG CHARACTER AND AROMATIC QUALITIES FROM PIEDMONT
The Asti region has been acknowledged over the centuries as an emblem of Italian viticulture and oenology. The Castello del Poggio estate is located in this extraordinary area, once a chosen arena of action for the legendary Knights Templar.
The estate, which has noble origins, was named after the medieval fortification that once belonged to the Buneis Counts and today it represents the largest single-unit wine company in Piedmont, dedicated to the cultivation of autochthonous vines, including Barbera. which act as emissaries for Piedmont around the world.
The estate was the first of the group to use green manure, a traditional agronomic practice which consists in burying specific crops, in order to maintain or increase soil fertility.
We preserve part of the local fauna and flora by maintaining 15 hectares of pasture and 10 hectares of wood.
We use photovoltaic panels that allow us to achieve 35% of energy self-sufficiency.
The estate is located in a landscape of great value, therefore the panels are placed on the roof of shelters or cellars in order to reduce their visual impact.
Castello del Poggio offers guided tours of the vineyards and the wine cellar. The estate is the largest winery in Piedmont and invites visitors to discover one of the most beautiful spots of Monferrato.
