Le Poesie
Each gesture by the farmer, each grape and each furrow in the soil are a story in their own right. Our story began in 1898. After reviewing and tasting the wines below you will discover this long and unique adventure involving special people, their land and their wines.
Wine is a civilization and culture based on the land, its traditions, and its generations of people, their experience and daily rituals. The grapes that make up our wines grow on the hillsides leading to the Lessinia mountain range, near the ancient hamlet of Soave.
The extension and uniqueness of our area, our century old experience, and our specialization allow us to produce wines typical of the Veneto region for your enjoyment. Our Master of Wine, Adrian Garforth is our man on the ground overseeing the making of these beautiful wines.
