Its name is a tribute to the humanist and poet Angelo Ambrogini (1454-1494), known as \u0026quot;Il Poliziano.\u0026quot; Federico Carletti, Dino's son, took over management of the company in 1980, having completed his agricultural studies. He immediately made a professional and philosophical shift by studying and working exclusively with estate-grown grapes (\u0026quot;Estate Winery\u0026quot;). Focusing on high-quality viticulture, modern yet respectful of the environment and tradition, he quickly produced a Vino Nobile of great depth and quality from the high-density vineyards. In pursuit of quality and excellence in his wines, Federico has continually updated his techniques both in the vineyard and in the cellar. In the 1990s, international varieties were planted, but at the same time, the quintessential local variety, Sangiovese, known in the Montepulciano area as \u0026quot;Prugnolo Gentile,\u0026quot; has been studied and celebrated. Drawing on his extensive knowledge of the potential of the Montepulciano terroir, Federico, for nearly twenty years, has focused on maximizing its exaltation and expression in his wines; allowing their unique character and naturalness to flourish. This is why he has dedicated himself to producing highly renowned crus. The family's passion for wine and the terroir continues with Francesco and Maria Stella, who today serve as Federico's key advisors as he interprets and addresses current and future challenges.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Poliziano","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42781814620417,"sku":"VIN00669","price":59.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0401\/6616\/2598\/products\/NobilediMontepulcianoAsinoneDOCG2017Poliziano.png?v=1716904212","url":"https:\/\/cosidilposto.com\/en\/products\/nobile-di-montepulciano-asinone-docg-2017-poliziano","provider":"Cose del Posto","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
