CANTINA POGGIO CAVALLO

The company is located in the heart of Orvieto Classico, in Le Velette area. It is set on a gentle slope overlooking the Duomo and is supported by volcanic terraces beneath which an ancient Etruscan cemetery was located. To date, our company has 16 hectares of vineyards for an annual production of 120,000 bottles; its modern concept has enabled efficient management of cutting- edge production processes. The use of modern vinification and refinement processes has been put at the service of the oldest winemaking traditions. The result sets our winery in a perfectly balanced position between tradition and innovation, guaranteeing a high quality standard of the product, as well as a capillary control on every production phase, from the vineyard to the bottle.

In strict respect of the environment, our modern cellar is designed to provide a qualified oenological production: from autochthonous varieties like the Grechetto vinified either in purity or in blend with the Trebbiano to create the Orvieto Classico, up to international varieties such as the Viognier, an ancient vine of French origin, and the elegant Chardonnay. Among black berry varieties, the Syrah – a vine of ancient oriental origins – when joined with the Malbec offers us a wine with a soft and fruity taste

that is immediately pleasing and enjoyable. The Merlot, the autochthonous Montepulciano and the Cabernet Sauvignon characterize the Rosso Orvietano DOC, which is full of character and pleasant to both taste and smell. Cabernet Franc, with its typically herbaceous notes, is vinified in purity and aged for a year in French oak barrels, where it acquires all its longevity and softness.

THE WINES

The elegance of the bottles is also given by the particularity of the labels, which recall Etruscan inscriptions discovered in the area surrounding the cellar.
