The Company

Our house was built in the mid-twentieth century, but the history of the hill is rooted in the past of the nearby town: Badia a Passignano.

L’importanza del monastero è documentata in molti testi, ora custoditi nell’Archivio di Stato di Firenze, che danno notizia dei vigneti di Sangiovese Inside the property a small hermit cell was found overlooking the vineyards. It was discovered soon that where the monks from the near town came there retire spiritually; today, after numerous restoration works, this cell has become a graceful and suggestive consecrated chapel.

The Villa was born in the early twentieth century as a country residence of a Florentine gentleman. Years went by and in 1974 it was bought by Carlo Pacini. The passion for nature and sensibility towards the territory have meant that two generations have followed with a great desire to create a special wine. With these assumptions, the company has grown by expanding its corporate body which today covers approximately 25 hectares divided into vineyards, olive groves, and woods.


The Consortium

Il Poggiolino is part of the Consorzio del Gallo Nero, producing Chianti Classico according to the ancient Chiantigiana tradition. We have always preferred quality over quantity, and this is also visible from the limited production of certain vintages, which are precisely carried forward only if they are considered valid. Every day great attention is put to all production processes and each bottle is checked by our experts to ensure the highest quality.

Vineyards

The vineyard area of ​​Poggiolino is about 18 hectares with plants located between 320 and 400 meters above sea level. Now as in the past, in harmony with nature, with love and hard work, we have the basis for producing excellent wines. The cellar, restored in 2007, with its controlled temperature and modern systems, allows us to continue to work the precious harvest of the vineyards with care and carefulness.
