The company has as its objective the production of a limited amount of bottles of Brunello di Montalcino, with unique characteristics in body, elegance and fragrance. The vineyards, extremely healthy, are subject to a double thinning of the bunches and, during harvest, the average criterion of choice, in the good years, is three out of five clusters. The grapes obtained in this way are subsequently selected in the cellar, where they are processed according to the old tradition. Wine, after being left to age three years in the barrel, is aged for at least twelve months in bottle before release. It has ruby red color, fruity bouquet, harmonious and velvety flavour, and is especially suitable for long aging.

The company was founded in 1965 by Alfo Bartolommei.
The Bartolommei family established itself in the municipality of Montalcino at the beginning of the latest century. The original family unit lived the Marzolo homestead in the municipality of Cinigiano (Province of Grosseto).
In 1911 the family moved to the Poggi homestead, a unit of Villa Santa Restituta Estate, running lands in sharecropping (typical way of management in Tuscany). The following years saw the family move to one homestead to another, belonging to Villa Santa Restituta Estate, until 1952, when they definitively moved to the Caprili homestead. The family came will all its livestock, running the fields as tenant farmers. In 1965 the Bartolommei family decided to purchase the property of the Castelli–Martinozzi sirs, owners of Villa Santa Restituta. In the same year, in 1965, they planted their first vineyard, named even today Madre, from which the clones for new plants are planted in the new company”s vineyards.

The company covers approximately 200 hectares of woods, vineyards, olive groves and arable land.
The vineyards of Poggio Antico, at an average altitude of 450 meters above sea level, are among the highest in Montalcino. The constant breezes of this altitude sweep the fog and the humidity of the evening and the morning, and dry quickly grapes after rain, preventing the formation of mold and allowing us to avoid the relative treatments. This privileged position and the high exposure to south–southwest of the vineyards ensure optimal conditions, especially during the crucial period of maturation, when grapes reach a perfect balance between sugar and acidity.
The land – calcareous, stony and rich in marl – ensures excellent drainage and is particularly suitable for the production of quality grapes destined for wines of great body, such as Brunello di Montalcino. The combination of factors such as altitude, the location and the soil features, give the Poggio Antico wines a special character and great elegance.
Approximately 32.5 hectares belonging to the company are made up of vineyards. Of these, 15.5 hectares were planted in the 70s and are now being replaced with new plants that have led to a density of 6,060 plants per hectare. To cope with the continuous increase in the demand for Poggio Antico wines, it was decided to increase the surface area of hectares rather than increasing yields at the expense of quality. As a result, 17 hectares more were planted in May 1997 and in May 2001.
Today, the total planted area is of 30 hectares respectively of Sangiovese (also called Brunello when planted within the only territory of Montalcino) and 2.5 hectares of Cabernet Sauvignon, planted in 1997 and used, in conjunction with Sangiovese, for our P.G.I. wine, Madre, created with the 2001 vintage.
