Domenico Poggiali bought Felsina farm in 1966 and with a courageous act, during that difficult time of Italian viticulture, he chose to invest on the quality of wine and on the expertise of some young people.
Lovers of viticulture and skilled entrepreneurs, Domenico and his son Giuseppe modernized the management of the country without abandoning the spirit of tradition. Within a few years, the hectares of vine became more than forty and they also changed the essence and the organization of the company. In the second half of the seventies, his son–in–law Giuseppe Mazzocolin entered the company with the task to develop commercially the company. His humanistic culture and his awareness of the responsibility of man in his work contributed to the growth of the culture of wine in Italy and abroad, obtaining his first international recognition. His friendship with Veronelli and his collaboration with the winemaker Franco Bernabei have charted a course that reveals itself with extreme consistency in wines from the 1983 vintage, the first of Fontalloro and Rancia, up to the present days. Under the guidance of Domenico and Giuseppe Poggiali, a path begins, that since 1990 sees even Giovanni Poggiali as protagonist, the first of the three children of Giuseppe.
