{"title":"Avignonesi","description":"\u003cp\u003eAvignonesi holds an important place in our range: a Montepulciano estate that combines serious winemaking ambition with an unusually thoughtful approach to its land. Established in the 1970s, it entered a new chapter when Virginie Saverys began its conversion to biodynamic farming in 2009. Her children, Basile and Eline Aloy, took that work forward in 2024, continuing a family commitment that looks well beyond the next vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcross its land between Montepulciano and Cortona, vineyards sit alongside woodland and olive groves. Certified organic and biodynamic farming is supported by cover crops, careful soil management and a practical interest in biodiversity. The La Stella project takes this further, integrating vines with hedges and fruit trees to create a more varied, resilient landscape. Avignonesi is also a certified B Corp, extending that sense of responsibility to its people and the wider business.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSangiovese is at the heart of the estate. In Montepulciano, more than 60 individual vineyard parcels are harvested and vinified separately, allowing differences in soil, exposure and growing conditions to come through. The Vino Nobile brings those characters together, while single-vineyard wines such as Poggetto di Sopra offer a closer view of a particular site. In the cellar, amphorae, concrete, stainless steel and oak are chosen to suit the wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat combination of precision and curiosity runs through the range, from the approachable Tuscan reds to the exploratory Da•Di wines. At the other end of the timescale, the estate’s remarkable Vin Santo spends more than a decade in small wooden barrels. There is plenty of history here, but just as much appetite for discovery: a compelling producer to get to know across several bottles.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"avignonesi-vino-nobile-di-montepulciano-2022","title":"Avignonesi Vino Nobile di Montepulciano 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003eA compelling benchmark Vino Nobile, with lifted Sangiovese fruit, graceful structure and finely measured tannins.
