Poggio al Rigoloccio Estate is located in Gavorrano, in the heart of a region renowned for its historic iron and pyrite mines. The area's exceptional mineral-rich soils, combined with the constant sea breezes from the nearby Tyrrhenian coast, give our wines their elegance, freshness, distinctive minerality, and excellent aging potential. Our winery is a story of both land and people. Every day, we work among the vineyards and in the cellar with passion, dedication, and deep respect for tradition, carefully monitoring the ripening of every grape. Alongside this artisanal approach, we continuously refine our vineyard practices to enhance the unique mineral character of our soils and express the true identity of each wine. Guided by the vision and expertise of Kellermeister Gerhard Sanin, we transform these carefully selected grapes into wines of structure, character, and personality—authentic expressions of the land from which they are born.
