About the Producer:
Located in Montalcino,
50 kilometers south of Siena, the Poggio Antico estate contains records
dating back to the early 19th century. However, vineyards weren't
planted until the late 1970's, when construction of the wine cellar
began. What makes this estate truly unique is the elevation at which
it sits, an impressive 450 meters above sea level. At this height,
there are steady breezes helping to prevent fog and early frosts,
also drying the grapes after every rain, forestalling the development
of mold. The altitude of this site, combined with its uncommon calcareous
and rocky soil, has given the wines of Poggio Antico their distinct
character and brilliance. In 1984 the estate was purchased by Giancarlo
and Nuccia Gloder, who saw the unparalleled potential of this one-of-a
kind location. Paola, their youngest daughter, has managed the estate
since 1987; she is a firm believer in the importance of the grapes
and only allows the very best to make it through her rigorous 3-step
pruning process, resulting in high-quality wine from low yields.
