Located northeast of Montepulciano, historic Avignonesi winery crafts some of this area’s most recognized wines, including their signature Vin Santo and black label Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. Avignonesi’s long-standing tradition of vineyard experimentation entered an exciting new chapter of development in 2009, when the winery was acquired by Belgian entrepreneur Virginie Saverys. In the spirit of leading the winery towards new levels of excellence, she has encouraged the introduction of organic farming at Avignonesi. Avignonesi today holds 140 hectares of vineyards.
