In 1971 Roberto Cosini decided to buy a 65 hectare farm, Il Poggiolo, with money he saved by selling agricultural machinery. The farm was uninhabited, without a cellar, without even a single row of vines, in practice, without anything. At that time, there were just 28 Brunello producers in Montalcino, it was not that economic and commercial phenomenon that we have learned to appreciate in the following decades. Yet, Roberto believed in it immediately, planted the first 3 hectares, bought the first cement tanks and the first Slavonian oak barrels, worth 30 hectoliters. A few years later, in 1980, the first 4,000 bottles of Brunello di Montalcino were born, vintage 1975. Since 1989 the company has been run by his son Rodolfo.
