POGGIO LE VOLPI – Founded by Felice Merge in 1996 in Monte Porzio Catone, the winery Poggio le Volpi is one of the wineries in the Lazio region. As the land covers a surface of volcanic soil with predominantly noon orientated vertical trills, the philosophy of Poggio le Volpi is to valorize the ampelographic richness of the land. Combining the values of this tradition with the passion for innovation and the wine making experimentation, Poggio le Volpi Winery is the most interesting wine making company in terms of production.
