Pagliarese

The history of Fèlsina began in 1966, when Domenico Poggiali bought the farm and chose to invest in the quality of the wine. In the space of a few years, the hectares under vine became more than forty and the soul and organisation of the farm also changed. Positioned between the last offshoots of the Chianti mountains and the initial part of the Ombrone valley, today Fèlsina covers an area of about 600 hectares, 95 of which are vineyards. This gives rise to vines capable of expressing the different particularities of the terroir of this corner of Tuscany. After all, the Fèlsina estates, developed over more than a thousand years, still constitute the basic unit of cultivation today. And the main concern is the defence of the natural fertility of the soil, which is safeguarded by working in a context of experimentation ranging from biodynamics to the most modern technologies and innovations made available worldwide. Thanks to this mentality, today at Fèlsina there are several Sangiovese clones and rootstocks planted in very heterogeneous territories. This allows the winery technicians to have, like painters, a palette of infinite nuances and possibilities. Plus woods, fields sown with cereals, olive groves, scrub, ditches and streams, the smaller fields of the hunting reserve cultivated with alfalfa, lupinello, sorghum, sunflower and field beans. Everything contributes to the preservation of biodiversity.
