THE WINE
"In Violas""of"PolizianoIt is a pure Merlot grown in the Pliocene clays of Cortona. The establishment of the Cortona DOC in 1999, its immediate recognition as a suitable area for international grape varieties, along with the friendship with the Aliotti Tommasi family, who own excellent lands, were the inspiring factors behind the birth of the winemaking project of Poliziano. This wine matures for about 18 months in barrels to achieve depth, elegance, freshness, and harmony.
THE COMPANY
Our company was founded in 1961 and in 50 years has become a renowned Tuscan wine-producing reality known worldwide. Poliziano It is the name of the founder Dino Carletti, father of the current owner. Federico Carletti chose the name for the company in homage to the humanist Angelo Ambrogini and his roots. A name that reflects an important vocation: attention to the territory, love for one's own history, and a tradition that embraces innovation.
Our wines evoke the historical tradition of the territory but are capable of speaking to the world. They have a long story: born in the 1980s, they retain the original labels but have refined and evolved, always pursuing the goal of uncompromising quality. Each of our wines is primarily made from Sangiovese grapes, known in the area by the historic name of Prugnolo Gentile.
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.
In over thirty years of managing the viticultural and oenological aspects of my company, never has a decision been made solely with the comfort of market analysis; rather, all choices have been inspired by my great passion for agriculture and the genuine emotion of imagining and theorizing a vineyard, a grape, a wine, and then finally seeing them realized after having followed them step by step throughout their lives.
Looking to the future, I aim to consolidate the well-defined character of my products, which will come from the new vineyards. In this perspective, I engage in ongoing and passionate research that continuously explores all possibilities for improving the quality of my wines. In recent years, the research has focused on the environmental sustainability of viticulture, reducing the use of chemical products through the study and trials of organic and biodynamic farming. In the winery, we increasingly apply natural winemaking where technology respects the original and classic characteristics of the wines.
