Poggio La Croce is an estate in the Montalcino region of Tuscany. It is located at Località La Croce, roughly between the Biondi-Santi Il Greppo and Fattoria dei Barbi estates. La Croce’s history dates to 1950 when Paola Benocci, from an ancient Montalcino family, inherited 35 hectares of arable land, woods and olive groves in Montalcino, bordering the vineyards and the farmhouse to the east of the historic Il Greppo estate created by the Biondi-Santi family. There were 2 hectares of vineyards. Paola Benocci and her husband, a representative of food and drinks company based in Bologna, maintained the business, started making wine and sold it via direct sales and agri-tourism.
