In order to find the roots of Poggio Le Volpi Company we have to make a leap back of almost a century. Everything began in 1920, when Manlio Mergè starts his production of wine and oil. His passion for the land is first transmitted to his son Armando and then to his grandson Felice. Both transform the dream of grandfather Manlio into reality, founding in 1996 the Poggio le Volpi Farm in Monte Porzio Catone.This is a volcanic origin area, herefore its is inherently fertile. Poggio le Volpi represents the first business turning point of the family company.
If Armando started the Monte Porzio Catone production and the transformation of the company from local to a national one, Felice, following the business inclination of his father,becomes enologist leading the company into the circle of the most interesting winemaking companies in terms of production in the Lazio region, achieving high appreciation amongst the national and international niche wine lovers.
Felice Mergè cultivates a modern and varied winemaking tradition, typical of eclectic and ambitious people, just like Manlio and Armando Mergé.
Since 1920 the Mergè story is about territory, passion and quality.

The Malvasia Puntinata grapes that give life to Rome are grown in the hilly vineyards of the Castelli Romani, on clayey soils of volcanic origin with a rich composition. The harvest is manual, and the selected bunches are subjected to soft pressing and static decantation. Fermentation takes place in steel tanks at a controlled temperature, and maturation on the yeasts always in steel before bottling. A wine that reflects the great personality of the grape of origin, with a great aromatic breadth and strong minerality.
