Not just wine! Poggio La Luna’s objective is to promote our territory of origin, enhancing the local characteristics of all our products. In addition to quality wine, we also produce delicious honey, excellent extra virgin olive oil and a sophisticated craft grappa. All work in the countryside follows environmentally friendly procedures. Visit our vineyards and wine cellars and get to know the secrets of vine farming and wine making, olive trees growing and olive oil making, beekeeping and honey producing. A full immersion experience ! Walk among the rows in the vineyard and enjoy foliage in the autumn or light green at springtime. Our winery is open to public: visit our wine cellars for aging the wine (we decided to produce a limited number of bottles to guarantee the same quality in every single bottle and a trustworthy product that will never let down).The grape harvest season when the grapes are brought in and the process of making the wine begins.
We had a fantastic wine tasting today. After a look around the property we sat down and were served a full plate of cheese, ham, bread and olives. We had a nice selection of home made ecological wines, really tasteful. We couldn’t help to take some home (and the delicious home made honey too!)

After spending the morning at Cascate del Mulino in Saturnia, we decided to visit the Roccapesta winery which our host recommended. Tuscany is abundant with wineries including several notables. Although, we had never heard of Roccapesta we were excited to try a local recommendation. The owner, Alberto, actually gave us our tour. He was so incredibly knowledgable, kind and answered our many questions (my husband must've asked easily 100+ questions). Apparently Alberto purchased the winery in late 2000's. If I remember correctly, Alberto was formerly an engineer before buying the winery. Every grape is hand-picked before being hand-sorted for processing. Many of the wines have earned the illustrious DOCG certification, included their most popular Roccapesta Reserve. Our personal favorite would have to be the Calastia wine. Alberto was so generous and even let us try some of his older reserves from his personal collection! This was by far our best vineyard experience while traveling in Italy (way better than some of the big, notable ones like Banfi).
