Cantina il Poggio

Cantina Il Poggio was established within Tenuta il Poggiolo, located at the highest point of Cangelasio, the hill overlooking Salsomaggiore Terme.
The entire estate spans 28 hectares, divided among vineyards, olive groves, woods, orchards, and a private lake of one hectare with a depth of 10 meters.
The vineyards cover the whole Poggio hill, with the manor house standing proudly at its summit. On these 15 hectares of vineyards, you'll find rows of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Barbera, Bonarda, Malvasia di Candia Aromatica, Trebbiano Modenese, and Chardonnay.

Cantina Il Poggio is a landmark for wine lovers and those seeking authentic food and wine experiences.
The guided tours tell the story of the winery, the vineyards, and the wines, while the tastings are paired with gastronomic offerings carefully curated to enhance each glass, creating a deep connection with the surrounding territory.

A simple wine tasting becomes a captivating experience that blends culture, gastronomy, and storytelling.
Here, you'll find not only excellent wines but also an atmosphere that celebrates the beauty of simplicity and the value of human connection.

Seven different varieties of grapes: four reds Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Barbera and Bonarda; three whites Malvasia Aromatica di Candia, Trebbiano Modenese, Chardonnay.

Ten different wines: two spumante wines, one Extra-Brut made with 100% Malvasia di Candia; the other Bruth a blend of Chardonnay and Trebbiano Modenese; two other sparkling wines, refermented in the bottle: one made with 100% Malvasia di Candia, the other with 100% Barbera. A white barreled wine, once again from 100% Malvasia di Candia; a sparkling red wine, traditional from here, a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Bonarda.

Three still red wines: one 100% Barbera; one, a blend of all the different red grapes varietes that we have here, one year in steel tank and then it is bottled; the last is our most precious wines, a base that recalls Bordeaux, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, a tiny percentage of Barbera and Sundried bonarda grapes left in infusion, 12 months in french oak barrels and two years in the bottle. 

Lastly, our dessert wine, a late harvest, made with 100% Malvasia di Candia.
