About Castello del Poggio Castello del Poggio is a large hillside estate in the Monferrato hills near Asti, in Piedmont, north-west Italy, and part of the Zonin family’s portfolio. Its name means “castle on the hill”, after the medieval fortress that once stood on the site and was guarded by the Knights Templar, the inspiration behind the Templar’s Red. Grapes have been grown here since at least 1699. The estate covers around 175 hectares of vineyards, woodland and pasture, set in a natural amphitheatre with views of the Alps. Its sandstone and clay soils, laid down by an ancient sea, drain well, while the surrounding ridges shelter the vines and the sloping hillsides keep them well ventilated. Castello del Poggio is best known for its fruit-forward, approachable wines, made to be enjoyed young. Order online for same-day delivery in Nairobi on orders before 2pm, or shipping across Kenya.
