The wine shop The
wine shop of Ghino has its location in one of the most fascinanting corners
of Pienza, right between the austere palaces of the renaissance. Yhe city
itself was founded by pope Pio II and was recently recognized from the UNESCO
as “patrimony of humanity” The
wine shop is situaded in a beautiful stokehold of the old part of the city
where Ghino, the owner, receives his clients with a warn welcome. Thanks to
his wide experience, he helps you to find the right wine for your special
taste from his wide range of the best wines. The
rason why Ghino Poggialini decided to move right above his wine shop was to
be always disposable and to be able to welcome his quests at every time with
warm heartedness and familiarity. |

The experience
After
a long career in various important locations, especially in France and
Germany, Ghino Poggialini decided to come back to Pienza and to devote
himself to his great passion: wines and valued vintage liquors. Thanks to his
knowledge and his firmness he began to put together a section of masterpieces
that leave you breathless. Ghino loves his bottles and his collection of
products. That’s also the reason why he is to be considered more a collector
than a businessman. His wine shop is only know by a few, but those few are
great connoisseurs of vine. Because Ghino prefers to sell his masterpieces
only to those who are able to interpret and understand them. |

of experience. Besided

and a wide selection of extra virgin olive oil. |

The Collection There
are only a few wineries in Tuscany, but also in Italy, where you can get all
the best wines of the world. At Ghino’ you will find:
ü
The
Sassicaia of all the vintages (and not only normal bottles but also the magnum
ones) ü
The
Brunello of the best vintages and the best wineries ü
All
the indiscoverable Bordeaux of the entire collection starting from the
“Rothschild” /with painted labels annual newly designed by famous artists) to
“Chateau Lafite”. ü
The
Champagne Gran Cru 100% that exist only in small quantities. The grapes are
produced in the heart of the region (like e.g. the “Chateau du Mesnil”, that
is imported only in a few bottles to Italy. ü
The
Solaia from the vintage ’97 that was promoted as world’s best wine of the
year 2000.
Bottles
of this level are practically not available on the market and you have to
search them either at the origin or do a lot a travelling for wineries and
castles and conquer the confidence of the producer. If you would like to find
for example a bottle of “Chateau Mounton Rothschild” with a label designed by
Picasso, Mirò or Andy Warhol, you might find it in Paris at “Fouchon” or
drink it in New York at “Le Cinque” (where it will probably not cost less
than $5.000). But strangely, you find this bottle also in a show case of Ghino’s wine shop.
