Poggio al Sole

Nestled among the sun-drenched hills of Tavernelle Val di Pesa, in the heart of Chianti Classico, Poggio al Sole is a family-run winery where Swiss precision meets Tuscan tradition. Founded by Johannes and Kathrin Davaz, who left Switzerland to pursue their dream of making wine in Tuscany, the estate has become one of the region's most respected boutique producers. Their passion for the land, combined with an uncompromising attention to detail, has resulted in wines of remarkable elegance and consistency.

The vineyards are cultivated organically, with great care given to preserving the health of the soils and the biodiversity of the surrounding landscape. Sangiovese naturally plays the leading role, producing refined Chianti Classico wines that beautifully express the estate's unique terroir, while carefully selected international varieties add depth and complexity to the winery's acclaimed Super Tuscan blends. Every step, from vineyard to cellar, is guided by a philosophy that favours quality over quantity.

Alongside the winery, the family has created a charming agriturismo, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the peaceful rhythm of the Tuscan countryside. Surrounded by vineyards, olive groves and panoramic views, visitors can experience firsthand the relaxed lifestyle that inspired Johannes and Kathrin to make Tuscany their home.

A visit to Poggio al Sole is a perfect blend of authenticity and hospitality. Guests are welcomed into a warm family atmosphere where meticulous craftsmanship, organic viticulture and a genuine love for Tuscany come together to produce wines that are both elegant and deeply expressive of Chianti Classico.
