Lionello Marchesi Thirty years ago, a successful industrialist decided to devote himself to his great passion: wine-growing. And so began a fascinating and complex story which led Lionello Marchesi to acquire and develop three major settlements in Tuscany. The purchase and restoration of an historic monastery (dating from 1000) at Castelnuovo Berardenga, in the heart of the Siena Chianti Classico area, saw the creation of a prestigious agricultural and residential complex—the present-day Castello di Monastero. Montalcino, the home of one of the most famous wines in the world, saw the acquisition and renovation of the Coldisole estate. Lastly, he founded Poggio alle Sughere in the Tuscan Maremma area. |

His production philosophy focuses attention on territory and grapes: the wines must be an expression of these two components and highlight their best aspects through attentive management of the vineyards, harvest, vinification, and ageing.
