In 1966, Domenico Poggiali purchased the vineyard property where Fèlsina now lies, in order to indulge his passion for hunting. He immediately realised that the area had tremendous potential, and so together with his son Giuseppe Poggiali he began expanding the vineyards and the winecellar.

His passion for hunting and his respect for animals and nature ensured that hunting was well-served by the countryside and vice versa: the less chemical fertiliser is put into the ground the greater will be the health of the fauna that populate the surrounding woods.

The Fèlsina property covers 500 hectares, of which 90 are under vine, with the rest remaining in woodland. Today, hunting is restricted to the owners, but it still plays a fundamental role for the quality of the wines that are produced on the estate.
