Tenuta Poggio Il Castellare: A Historic Winery in Montalcino

Situated atop the lush hills of Montalcino, Tenuta Poggio Il Castellare is one of the region's oldest wineries, with roots dating back to 1489. The Baroncini family began their winemaking journey in this historic area, known since Etruscan times for its rich viticulture. The estate spans 40 hectares, featuring seven hectares dedicated to organic farming, two hectares of truffle fields, and three hectares of woodland filled with medicinal herbs. In 1998, Bruna Baroncini and her nephew Samuele took ownership, continuing a legacy that has flourished for over 500 years.

The estate includes a collection of farmhouses that house the cellars, residences, and welcoming areas for visitors.
