POGGIO TORSELLI
A noble land over the centuries
The Poggio Torselli estate sprawls over the Tuscan hills
in the municipality of San Casciano in Val di Pesa. This is
Chianti Classico country. The superb landscape offers sweeping
views over about 30 hectares of verdant vineyards and 2,700
olive trees. In the Tuscan countryside, fragrances and colors
intoxicate the senses of those who love and cherish them,
an instinct that is second nature at Poggio Torselli. In more
practical terms, Poggio Torselli’s mission is to pass on the
savors and colors of this noble land,by maintaining a healthy
balance of modern agronomic techniques and respect for the
territory as a whole.

The future is founded on ancient
traditions
The Poggio Torselli philosophy can be summed up
in a single concept – our indissoluble bond with the
terroir.
By terroir,we mean a way of living in the country and
cultivating its fruits.
We see our working life as a never-ending exchange of
ideas between ancient traditions and new generations
of growers, in the hillside setting that makes Poggio
Torselli wines unique and inimitable.
The rows of sun-kissed vines, cooled in the valley’s
shadow, stand on varying slopes with varying aspects
to create a fitting backdrop for the historic Villa
Poggio Torselli.
From the Villa’s strategic position, a single glance
can embrace the estate’s entire vine stock.Each variety
has its place, interpreting the territory in full respect
of the changing soil types and range of hillside aspects.
Planning wines means taking and implementing decisions
on the estate, from land management to water retention,
selecting varieties and clones, and adopting training
systems. Every decision is carefully weighed against
the final objective, our synthesis of quality, tradition
and respect for the territory.
