Avignonesi is a historic Tuscan winery based in Montepulciano, renowned for its commitment to crafting elegant wines that showcase the unique terroir of southeastern Tuscany. Founded in the 16th century and named after the Avignonesi family, the estate has grown into one of the leading producers of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, a wine that holds Italy’s prestigious DOCG status. Over centuries, Avignonesi has built its reputation on tradition, quality, and innovation, while remaining deeply rooted in the cultural and viticultural heritage of the region.

The estate’s vineyards span over 400 hectares, primarily planted with Sangiovese, the noble grape of Tuscany. In recent years, Avignonesi has become a pioneer in biodynamic viticulture, embracing organic practices and natural cycles to preserve soil health and biodiversity. This philosophy not only respects the land but also enhances the expression of terroir in the wines, yielding grapes of purity and character.

In the cellar, winemaking is carried out with a balance of tradition and modern precision. Extended macerations, careful fermentations, and aging in large oak casks or barriques are employed depending on the wine’s style. Beyond Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, Avignonesi also produces Super Tuscans and sweet Vin Santo, further showcasing the estate’s range and expertise. Today, Avignonesi stands as both a guardian of Montepulciano’s legacy and a forward-looking leader in sustainable Italian winemaking.
