Book this experienceAvignonesi sits between Montepulciano and Cortona, with Le Capezzine as the estate’s hospitality and cellar centre. The regional wine-road listing places the company in Valiano di Montepulciano and describes its role in the quality development of Vino Nobile from the mid-1970s. The core wine identity is Sangiovese-led: Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG, Rosso di Montepulciano, single-vineyard Nobile bottlings and Vin Santo. Avignonesi also works beyond the classic Nobile family, including Merlot in Desiderio, the 50&50 project with Capannelle, Grifi and Da-Di wines. The official site frames Avignonesi around organic and biodynamic agriculture, long-term land stewardship and its status as an Italian Società Benefit since 2021. That makes the page stronger if it treats sustainability as an operating fact, not a marketing adjective. For visitors, the official hospitality page points to Le Capezzine for tastings, tours, a grand lunch experience and cooking classes, with online booking links. Prices and durations were not verified in the accessible official text, so they should stay blank unless confirmed later. The current bottle set gives this profile a practical buying route as well as a producer introduction. The linked wines connect Avignonesi to Toscana IGT, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG and Bianco dell'Empolese DOC, with grapes such as Sangiovese, Grechetto and Merlot, so readers can move from the winery background into bottles with active UK retailer data where available. That catalogue context helps compare the house style across regional labels and estate bottlings without changing the underlying winery facts, visit information, or image set already attached to the page.
