In the Heart of Chianti Classico
~
The “Fattoria Poggerino”
is a small, organic family run winery located in the heart of Tuscany’s Chianti Classico production zone. It consists of 106 acres (43 hectares) of vineyards, olive groves and woods, with a few old traditional stone houses and a 12th century church.
The winery is one of the properties of a large estate which used to belong to Prince Ginori Conti, a descendant of one of Florence’s oldest families. Floriana Ginori Conti inherited the winery from her father in the 1970s, and began in 1980 together with her husbant Fabrizio Lanza, to produce a Chianti Classico with the “Poggerino” label.
In 1999 she handed over the property to her two children, Piero and Benedetta Lanza, who had been managing it since 1988.
Besides its activity as a winery, Poggerino also provides accommodation. The property includes several typical old stone farmhouses, the famous Chianti “casa colonica” whose architectural beauty and harmony within the landscape are unique in the world. A vacation at Poggerino is an occasion for total relaxation by those who wish to escape the city, breathe in the romantic atmosphere of the Chianti hills and wake up to the song of birds .
