It is well known for its Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, made from the Sangiovese variety, and its Vin Santo, which is the most sought-after on Wine-Searcher. The estate was founded in 1974 by the Avignonesi family. It was acquired by Virgine Saverys in 2009, who has expanded the estate significantly. It now comprises 175 hectares of vineyards, and has a new, state-of-the-art winemaking facility. Saverys also established it as a leader in biodynamic viticulture in the country. Avignonesi is certified organic, biodynamic (Biodyvin) and vegan. In total, Avignonesi has nine vineyards: eight in Montepulciano, and one in the small commune of Cortona, which is a little way to the northeast of Montepulciano. Soil types vary widely, while the rolling hills offer different aspects and elevations.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"CaskCartel.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42715863613578,"sku":"","price":94100.0,"currency_code":"HUF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/products\/86.png?v=1674657845","url":"https:\/\/caskcartel.com\/en-hu\/products\/2018-avignonesi-desiderio-cortona-merlot","provider":"CaskCartel.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
