"A great wine must embody three souls: the soul of the grape variety, the soul of the territory, and the soul of the winemaker."
Where history, wine, and art converge
Rooted in the rich history and culture of Tuscany, Poggio ai Laghi is a contemporary winemaking project that brings together tradition, innovation, and artistic expression. Located in Monteriggioni, Italy, the winery celebrates the region’s distinctive terroir while honoring the stories and heritage that shape its identity.
Guided by renowned winemaker Alessandro Cellai, whose career includes recognition from Wine Spectator and more than 80 Tre Bicchieri awards from Gambero Rosso, Poggio ai Laghi is dedicated to producing wines that reflect the character and elegance of Tuscany. From Chianti Classico and Riserva to Supertuscans and other distinctive varietals, each wine balances a sense of place with a contemporary approach to winemaking.
Inspired by history, art, and the creative spirit of women, the Poggio ai Laghi collection tells a story that extends beyond the glass. Each bottle offers an expression of Tuscan culture, craftsmanship, and character, inviting guests to discover the region through its wines and culinary traditions.
