POGGIO IL CASTELLARE




For many years, Brunello di Montalcino is
unanimously considered
the most prestigious Italian red wine with controlled
name of origin.
The
production area covers the entire hilly land of the territory
of Montalcino.
The Poggio Il Castellare vineyards are located
in the hamlet of
Castelnuovo Abate, next to the spectacular panorama
of the Abbey
of Saint Antimo, opposite the Val d’Orcia (Orcia Valley)
from which
Mount Amiata rises imposingly.
“Castellare”, the name of the farming estate, originates from
an old
Etruscan settlement. The ruins of the houses and towers of this
settlement
can be found on this hill. Starting off from this hill,
one can go for wonderful
walks through the small, old paths that lead to
the Abbey. Sunset watched
from the Abbey of Saint Antimo is considered
one of the greatest marvels
of the world. According to popular tradition,
meeting in Sant Antimo at
sunset fills one with emotions that will never
be forgotten.
