Histoire du domaine
Poggio Antico was founded in 1976 through the union of three former agricultural estates on the southwestern slope of Montalcino, whose lands already appeared in the 18th-century Leopoldine cadastre. The Glover family acquired the property in 1984 and developed it into one of the appellation's recognized estates; the 1985 Brunello, the first vintage vinified on-site according to the estate's published history, notably ranked fourth in Wine Spectator's Top 100 in 1990. In the early 2000s, Poggio Antico modernized its facilities, reorganized its vineyard, and expanded its range with two Toscana IGT wines. In 2017, the estate was taken over by Belgian entrepreneur Marcel van Poecke, founder of AtlasInvest. This new period has been marked by an in-depth study of the soils, their division into macro-units and pedological units, as well as the separate vinification of the different sectors. General management and viticultural and oenological developments are led by Pier Giuseppe D'Alessandro, while Alessio Sostegni currently oversees cellar operations.
