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 fonde 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. |
Terroir: A Grand project for territorial enchancement
Respect for the territory means getting to know the land and understanding its needs. That is why Poggio Torselli uses only clones that come from a scrupulous selection process for new plantings. Our choice of cordon spur pruning is part of the estate’s philosophy of achieving vines that provide a good combination of vegetative activity and yield with optimal concentration of quality-critical elements. In this perspective, green cover cropping of the vineyards ensures timely, rational vineyard management operations in full respect of the environment. |
