Premio America Agricoltura

A n A w a r d T h a t R e f l e c t s t h e V a l u e o f a V i s i o n

On January 12, 2026, Poggio ai Laghi received the Premio America Agricoltura, awarded by Fondazione Italia USA.

This recognition holds a particularly meaningful value because it does not come from a spontaneous application: companies are identified and selected for the path they have built, the value they express and their contribution to the Italian agricultural landscape.

In this section, we share the meaning behind the award, our connection with the United States and the way this recognition is reflected in our daily work.

Q 1 W h a t d o e s t h i s a w a r d r e p r e s e n t f o r y o u ?

Receiving the Premio America Agricoltura represents a great source of pride for Poggio ai Laghi.

In a region like Tuscany, recognized around the world for the quality of its agricultural companies, being selected among many different businesses holds an even deeper meaning for us.

This award does not come from a spontaneous application: companies do not apply, they are identified and selected. For this reason, we consider it an important recognition of the path we have built over the years, based on the pursuit of quality, the enhancement of the territory and a company vision oriented toward growth.

Q 2 W h y i s i t s i g n i f i c a n t t o r e c e i v e i t i n P a r l i a m e n t ?

Because today, agriculture is not only production, but also culture, landscape and responsibility.

Receiving this recognition in Parliament, the highest institution in the country, strengthens the symbolic value of the award and underlines its significance.

For Poggio ai Laghi, it was an important moment, recognizing the role of an agricultural company not only as a productive business, but also as a guardian of identity, territory and tradition.

The United States represents an important and increasingly strong connection for Poggio ai Laghi.

Every day, we welcome American visitors who come to Tuscany in search of authenticity, quality, beauty and time. Through our wine experiences, our products and the story of our territory, we build an ongoing dialogue between our agricultural reality and an international audience that recognizes the value of Made in Italy.

In this sense, the Premio America Agricoltura also becomes a bridge between Italian agricultural tradition and those who choose, from abroad, to discover it, experience it and appreciate it.

It translates into the constant pursuit of quality, the care we put into hospitality and the desire to share the agricultural, historical and human value of Poggio ai Laghi beyond Italy’s borders.

Every product, every experience and every project is born from the desire to enhance the territory and tell its identity in an authentic way.

Our daily work is made of attention, responsibility and vision: elements that allow us to bring together agricultural production, wine tourism and the memory of this place in a path that is consistent with the history and future of Poggio ai Laghi.
