"In a district called Bengodi where the vines were tied with sausages, flowed a river of the best wine ever tasted, without a single drop of water”. In his Decameron Boccaccio describes the Certaldo area where some of “the best wine ever tasted” is still produced today. Opposing enemies fought over the conquest of these lands where the generous vines yield their treasures from the rocks. The oldest record of Castello di Pogni dates back to 1059. The name derives from the Latin “pugna” (fist), recalling the battles fought here for the control of a geographically important area inhabited by proud, indomitable people. Today, with our brand Terre del Bruno, the Diddi family leads a young innovative wine business that creates great wine while maintaining strong bonds with the local area and its winemaking traditions.

Inclusions: Tasting of 5 wines of our brand Terre Del Bruno, a light snack is included.
