Historical notes about Poggio al Sorbo:
The original building was a military tower dated from 1200, and it is still possible to find its trace on the main wall: the ancient portal (XIV cent.), made in "alberese", limestone.
In the XV cent. the tower was converted into a Mansion and also nowdays it keeps the renaissance caracteristics of the high lacunar-ceilings, large volumes of its rooms, the typical sand stone decorations around the doors and the charming little courtyard with the old well.
The big entrance portal (drawn on the wines label) is dated 1600, at that time there was another addition, the stabbles for the carriages, now converted into a "Limonaia" (winter garden for lemon trees).
The long country stone-house surrounds the large square of the little "borgo", with the panoramic terrace and the fountain, the "sdrucciolo" (a small way to reach the pool), the formal italian garden, the park all around with the sculptures by Luigi Galligani and to visit the artist's Studio.
