Poggio Maestrino

Poggio Maestrino winery is part of Rocca di Castagnoli, owned by Calogero Calì. He has owned Rocca di Castagnoli since 1981 and has since acquired four other wine companies, including Poggio Maestrino. He employs an impressive team of winemakers and grape growers, led by Daniele Pagni, to get the wines from all companies the way he wants them. The end result is never a megalomaniac and expensive blockbuster but rather a digestible and elegant wine for a decent price.

Poggio Maestrino is located in the Morellino di Scansano DOCG appellation. The soil there is medium in texture and has a volcanic origin. The vines have an average age of about 10 years and the vineyard covers approximately 13.5 hectares and is located 150 m above sea level.
