TERRITORY
Poggio Nicchiaia, a young-spirited and energetic agricultural company, is situated in a magnificent Tuscan estate of hundreds of acres, in the hills about 40 km south of Pisa, close to the town of Peccioli.
We are located in the gentle, undulating Pisan hills, with an elevation of no more than 200 metres and a soft landscape and mild climate influenced by the currents of the nearby coast, rich in Etruscan history. The soil is a very interesting compound of marine origin and rich in fossils with a sandy-silt-clay texture.
In this setting blessed by nature, Poggio Nicchiaia has about 50 hectares of very well exposed vineyards with an average of 5000 plants per hectare, of which the Tuscan Sangiovese variety is by far the most numerous.
VINEYARDS AND WINERY
The technologically advanced winery is in Montelopio, a pretty village with a feel of times past, a few kilometres from Peccioli.
We are passionate about producing wines that offer a modern interpretation of Tuscan traditions, an exquisite evolution in taste, not dictated by fashion but by the quest for enduring pleasure.
Vine cultivation focuses heavily on the interaction between vines and micro climate to improve the richness and complexity of the fruit.
Starting from the harvest, the winemaking team, aided by the best in winemaking technology, follows every stage of fruit processing in order to obtain a result that meets the organoleptic properties typifying the area.
Respect for tradition but also love for innovation and a willingness to accept and overcome new challenges characterize the men and women of Poggio Nicchiaia, who passionately seek to create wines that live up to the true emblem of Tuscany.
