Poggio Al Sole
Comprising 31 hectares of mostly woods, with about 24 hectares of organic Sangiovese, near Badia a Passignano, an old Benedictine Abbey, the wines of Poggio Al Sole are singularly precise and expressive, the perfect combination of German-Swiss precision and Tuscan soul.
Poggio Al Sole is a project from Johannes Davaz, who grew up in eastern Switzerland, where the Rhine River tumbles out of the Alps to feed a family vineyard whose rows of pinot noir shaped his life from earliest childhood. By the time he began his formal training, he’d been helping his parents in the vines and cellar for as long as he could remember. But he had a dream of his own, and at 29 he went hunting for a place to plant it. The rest is history and the result of a lot of hard work.
