About us

Wine is more than our business. We live every day among the vines and barrels, always focused on quality, with care and love. Our stewardship of our land and our wines, our dedication to this craft and our family, result in wines that perfectly express the love and the respect we have for our precious land: Montalcino and Tuscany.

Poggio Rubino is ruled by Edward Corsi, his wife Alessandra Marzocchi , and Alessandra’s mother Roberta Salvadori.

Being a producer of Brunello is not a random decision. Succeeding in playing a leading role in such a premium landscape really means attesting to a way of being and living. Alessandra and Edward have accepted this life-long role, to live on and from this land, enhancing the value of their quality of life and lifestyle.
