Founded in 1974, Avignonesi is the leading winery in the Montepulciano area of Tuscany. Its flagship wine, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, is appreciated by critics and winelovers worldwide and the winery is also renowned worldwide for the unique dessert wines Vin Santo di Montepulciano and Occhio di Pernice. Avignonesi was purchased in 2009 by Virginie Saverys, who has brought significant changes to the winery. She has worked tirelessly to convert the entire property to organic and biodynamic viticulture, with the clear goal of crafting distinct, genuine wines that fully express the singular characteristics of the Avignonesi terroir. Virginie and the team's strong belief in organic products and homeopathic medicine meant they must introduce sustainable farming mehods, by way of biodynamic principles, and today they are the largest biodynamic winery in Italy. Today, Avignonesi owns 200 hectares of vineyards spread out over the Montepulciano and Cortona appellations. All of its wines are produced with 100% estate grown grapes. Resident winemaker Matteo Giustiniani and Agronomist Alessio Gorini oversee production, and under Virginie’s guidance, Avignonesi has developed a production philosophy based on balance, elegance, brightness of fruit and a strong sense of place.

Avignonesi Vino Nobile 150cl 2022

Super silky Sangiovese, called Prugnolo Gentile in Montepulciano, gathered from all 8 of the estate’s vineyards.
Composed of 100% Sangiovese grown on sedimentary soils of marine origins, calcareous with variable quantities of clay and sand from the Pleistocene (3 million – 120,000 years ago) at Le Capezzine, Lodola and Matracchio, from the Pliocene (3-5 million years ago) at I Poggetti, Le Badelle,Banditella and El Grasso. The vines are between 11 and 37 years old. The vines are bush-trained, guyot and cordon-trained at an altitude of 270 – 375 metres.
The fermentation was spontaneous. Alcoholic fermentation and maceration on the skins lasted up to 30 days, depending on the individual lots. The wine then spent 18 months in large oak casks and barriques.
