THE STORY

My family had its first contacts with the world of viticulture in 1961, when my father, Dino Carletti, purchased 22 hectares of land in the municipality of Montepulciano, where he planted the first specialized vineyards in the area. The reasons that led my father to make that investment were more heartfelt than economic, driven by the desire to keep alive the connection with the places of his childhood and the culture of his homeland. That bond, more than producing immediate results in the management of the business, particularly influenced my educational choices, which led me to Florence, where I graduated in agriculture in 1978.

In the immediate years that followed, I held a professional position in a farm in northern Italy, where I was not involved in viticulture, but where I was able to enrich my training with valuable experiences.
At the end of 1980, at a delicate moment due to the economic crisis and the decline in consumption, I decided to accept the challenge and took over the management of my company, setting a new and more modern production philosophy according to my personal vision of agriculture. From the very beginning, my passion for the art of "making wine" drove me to engage with the most advanced techniques used in international viticulture and oenology, creating an increasingly close and fruitful dialogue with industry specialists and fellow producers of Chianti Classico.

I soon understood that the renewal of the company could only happen through the synthesis of the best technical knowledge, courage, and creativity. The result of combining these ingredients is the new viticulture of Poliziano, thanks to which for more than a decade our wines, strictly based onGentle Plum, They are able to adopt a highly pleasant international style while maintaining a strong connection to their place of origin.
