Our Vineyard: from the history of the ancient Romans and Etruscans to the Poggio degli Ulivi Estate

A vineyard of the Val d'Orcia wine tradition

The Poggio Degli Ulivi estate owes its name to the 1500+ olive trees that over a hundred years old, located in a vast plot in Montalcino. The extension of the property, equal to about 90 hectares, is divided into olive trees from which DOC oil is produced with a robust flavour and intense aroma and the Brunello di Montalcino vineyard.

  • Characteristics and information on the territory

    The area is characterised by the typical crops of southern Tuscany, flanked by junipers, strawberry trees, broom and high-trunked woodland areas consisting of holm oaks. The vineyard is 11 hectares. The soil, clayey loam, is particularly suitable for the production of wines such as Sangiovese Grosso and Brunello di Montalcino. The vines are cultivated using the spurred cordon system with low bud loads. Cultivation is carried out manually, so that the specific needs of each individual plant can be taken care of. The land owned by our company in Siena is suitable for the cultivation of vines as it is sheltered from the harsh currents coming from Poggio d'Arna and from the north winds. Monte Amiata surrounds the land and prevents strong winds from the south. The valley in which our company is located, and which houses the vineyards for Brunello di Montalcino wines, is protected from atmospheric agents.

Vineyards of the Poggio degli Ulivi estate: Brunello di Montalcino

The territory that hosts the Poggio Degli Ulivi Estate is located between Sant'Angelo in Colle and Castel Nuovo dell'Abate, in Montalcino, Siena. Slightly leaning towards the Orcia river, this land tells a very ancient story: inhabited since prehistoric times, this hilly area has hosted both the Etruscans and the Romans.


In the olive groves of the Pieve, various clay residues and remains of an ancient Roman villa have been found. The Ministry of Archaeological Heritage of Tuscany has declared the territory of 'particularly important interest'. A feature that makes our vineyards and the Brunello di Montalcino wines produced there even more precious and unique.
