Avignonesi
An investor since 2007, Virginie Saverys aquired the Avignonesi estate outright in 2009. This change did not affect the management system, but gave the company an important boost towards future growth and allowed for continued investment. The estate was purchased from the Falvo brothers who bought the property in 1974 and invested in viticulture (using local varieties such as Prugnolo and introducing new ones including Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot), creating a model for making premium Tuscan wines that is still followed today. Avignonesi's four wine-producing estates Le Capezzine, I Poggetti, La Selva and La Lombarda comprise over 250 acres of vineyards and 17 acres of olive groves.
