Between Bolgheri and Scansano, on the hills of Gavorrano in the central Maremma, two worlds came together: Paolo Panerai from Castellare di Castellina and Baron Eric de Rothschild from Domaines Barons de Rothschild-Lafite. The first Italian-French joint venture in viticulture came into being – and with it, on the highest hill of the estate, a cellar designed by Renzo Piano. The only one of its kind. Up to 2,000 barriques rest beneath it, hewn 50 metres deep into the rock. On the hill: Etruscan artefacts that prove that wine has been made here for 3,000 years.

Poggio alla Guardia is the gateway to this universe – and it doesn't need a lot of words. Sangioveto, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, fermented in steel, matured in concrete, no barrique. Direct character, fresh fruit, spicy personality. Plum, chocolate, herbs, a mineral aftertaste reminiscent of the light-coloured limestone of these hills. For everyday drinking with sophistication.
