    Portrait of Fabio Cenni

    i. Biography

    At a Glance At Colle Santa Mustiola in Chiusi, Italy, the work centers on Sangiovese and on reading site as a primary part of production. Fabio Cenni has said, “Poggio ai Chiari, my first wine, testifies to the connection between my production and the land in which it is born.” He has also said, “I decided to dedicate myself full-time to the activity of a winemaker.” That commitment frames a practice built around the conditions of the place: “I believe that the nature of the soils and the climate are indispensable factors in the production of my wine.” The range, in his own words, is narrow by design: “Our production focuses on three wines, born from love for the territory and for the vine.”
