History

The story of Tenute Polini takes root in the heart of Val Menocchia, where the Polini family has lived since the 19th century. The lily in our emblem, symbol of noble spirit, inspires our commitment to the land and pursuit of excellence—a journey that began with devotion to the soil and continues today with a focus on organic farming, honoring nature’s rhythms. Our vineyards reflect a seamless balance of tradition and innovation.

At Tenute Polini, three words encapsulate our identity: niche, panorama, and care. Niche embodies our drive to create rare, artisanal products inspired by our land. Panorama reflects the unmatched beauty of a location where every vista resembles a postcard. Care symbolizes our unwavering attention, from vineyard to cellar.

Sustainability

Organic cultivation

Our journey into organic cultivation began with the third generation, spanning 20 hectares of vineyards and 468 certified IGP olive trees. Certified IGP, our olive grove exemplifies excellence, celebrated through bottled production that speaks to the land’s deep heritage. By employing natural methods such as grassing, we respect biodiversity and abstain from synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. This not only safeguards the ecosystem but also elevates the distinct Marche terroir, captured in every bottle.
The result is a true harmony of sustainability and tradition.

where we are

Our territory

“The territory of the Ascoli Piceno wines is clearly distinguished from the rest of the Marche for its peculiar geographical conformation. Wedged between the Apennines and the Adriatic Sea, it enjoys a unique microclimate, characterized by strong temperature variations and constant ventilation. The soils, predominantly clayey and calcareous, give the wines an unmistakable minerality and aromatic complexity. This combination of natural factors favors the cultivation of native vines such as Pecorino and Passerina, which express their maximum potential here, giving life to wines with great personality and structure.

biological methods

DOC crops

The native varieties grown with organic methods tell the story of a rich territory, always. Rosso Piceno, for example, blends the freshness of Sangiovese with the structure of Montepulciano, giving life to a balanced and full-bodied wine. Combined with whites such as Pecorino and Passerina, Offida DOCG, these wines reflect the versatility of the terroir of the Ascoli Piceno area.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

The 472 olive trees are children of our estate. Cared for with organic methods and certified IGP, the olive grove represents not only a commitment to the quality of the product, but also a deep bond with the tradition and knowledge of this land.
