A beautiful farmhouse, historic residence of noble families, surrounded by rolling,
vine-covered hillsides in the heart of a land with a centuries-old winegrowing tradition.
The 70 hectares that make up the estate include Tenuta Carretta in Piobesi d’Alba, a number of splendid vineyards in the terrain devoted to “Cannubi” Barolo, “Poderi Tavoleto” in S. Rocco Seno d’Elvio, “Cascina Bordino” in Treiso.
Every year, around 480,000 bottles of Piedmont’s most prestigious red and white DOC and DOCG wines are produced under the expert guidance of director Roberto Giacone.
Grapes used by the Tenuta Carretta winery come exclusively from its own vineyards located in Roero and the Langhe.

The company is currently owned by the Facello family, taking up the consolidated inheritance especially for Asti Spumante and Moscato initiated by the original founders Perlino and Bosso, combining it with the family tradition dating back to grandfather Leone, a well-known wine-maker in the early 1900s. On becoming a stock company in 2004, the Facello family transformed Perlino into a dynamic reality with broader horizons ad today a leader on national and international markets.

In its direct and local area production alike, Perlino follows up every step to verify and ensure constant high standards.
In building its huge offering available today, the company has never lost sight of its fundamental principles - “knowing how to make and select” - since only experience ensures the capacity to select, produce and sell quality products.

This conviction underlies the strict decision to retain typical local production methods and provide discrete and professional on-site assistance to regional Italian products without in any way modifying their originality and special characters based on local traditions going back centuries.

The quality of a product of the land is structured in three fundamental stages: selection of raw materials,
subsequent processing and correct conservation.
Perlino supervises all these stages and assists its producers in order to be absolutely certain of offering only the best.

As he walks through the vineyards, the winemaker remains fascinated and dazzled by the intense spirit and beauty of the space around him.
Every vineyard holds only one potential and unique wine and it is only through careful perception that man can extract nature’s precious secret fruit.
From the ever evolving relationship between man and land, made of both knowledge and struggle, come the terroir wines… always the same yet different with every season and every harvest.
These wines reflect the character, the strength and the sweetness of the soil they originated from.
Malgrà nurtures its vineyards in order to extract the wine that is jealously cherished deep down in the soil’s core and is also a nickname that the inhabitants of Mombaruzzo attribute to those who are perceived as half-dreamers, half-clairvoyants…. someone who lives by his own rules and that is sometimes seen as the village sorcerer.
The natural element - the vineyard in this case – contains within itself all the characteristics which will be fully unveiled only in the wine it yields and if this is true, the only aim of the winemaking process is to bring out and bottle the wine that is already potentially present in the soil itself.

The Provenza winery, which today is a balanced blend of tradition and modernity,
is made up of four farmhouses: the oldest, built in 1710 by the notary Sebastiano Maioli from Desenzano, and since 1967 the main headquarters of the Provenza activity, is Cà Maiöl. To this the Contato family has added over the years the lands of Molino, Rocchetta and Storta farms, where new vineyards have been planted to respond to a strongly growing market demand.
From the ancient Provencal origins of the Contato family, on a strip of land in the Garda Lake area, the Provenza winery was created. Founded in 1967 by the father Walter, today the company continues its noble traditions through the commitment and the dedication of Fabio and Patrizia Contato. And thanks to this enthusiasm, the winery has increased from the original 12 hectares in the heart of the production area of Lugana wine, to the current 140, extending throughout a rich and fertile terrain.
The love for this land and the passion for wine, make the Provenza winery into a strong wine-producing presence among the most esteemed wineries of the area, which according to the family tradition lives on a daily pleasure of producing and offering excellent wines to the public.
The land of Lugana wine extends from the south of Lake Garda onto an unusually characteristic territory
With the contributing benefits of the mild lake climate these lands have become the ideal location for the cultivation of an autochthonous monovine of unique quality that gives the palate a delicate tasting white wine of an unmistakeable freshness, a wine that is a genuine expression of its territory of origin.

Valpolicella and the surrounding areas has been a land where wine has played an important part in the social life of the local inhabitants for many centuries.
At Terre Antiche the Cottini Family thanks to an intense work of selection of the best vines located in the best position, the love and passion together with a great attention to high quality allowed the production of wines with their own unique and distinctive flavours, all sensations that will come alive from the moment you will pour it in your glass.

The story of Pasqua Vigneti e Cantine starts in Verona, in 1925 when the Pasqua brothers establish a production activity of Veneto wines.
The company quickly grows within the Italian wine sector; during the 1940s it starts investing in vineyards and, shortly after, deploys a technologically advanced bottling plant.

The second generation – brothers Carlo, Giorgio and Umberto, still at the helm of the company today – brings about new ventures and the opening of foreign markets. Pasqua starts to export Italian wines and wine culture to Europe and to the world.

It is said that the founder of the winery was born in the Lake Garda area and that he used to go as far as Verona on his inseparable Vespa to settle his business, making a personal visit to his customers and taking them some bottles of new wine to taste. Today, we still continue the journey that our founder began, taking our excellent wines to the tables of all Italians.For over 50 years, our wines have expressed the beautiful features of Lake Garda, because we were born in these lands, in Lazise, where the best Bardolino Classico wine is produced.All the vineyards on the estate are grown according to the principles and most advanced techniques of organic farming. Only thanks to excellent grapes can we produce top-quality wines. To achieve this, the part played by integrated biological pest management has been crucial. In addition to drastically limiting the use of pesticides and systemic pesticides, it involves using specific fertilizers, pruning according to the Simonit & Sirch method and protection against the vine moth, grapevine esca disease, downy mildew and powdery mildew.

A close attachment to our land and to its wise, peasant roots.
This is what we are: a blend of tradition and innovation projected towards the future that we cultivate lovingly and devotedly.
The “Tenuta Bosco Albano” is a young winemaking business that has a well-established, three-generation strong experience.
Immersed in a favourable microclimate thanks to the presence of an underground water table, the right exposure to the sun and gentle slopes, the vines enjoy ongoing wellbeing and yield a harvest of selected, quality grapes

Azienda Agricola Pakravan-Papi is located on the site of an old farm which, in a distant and nearly forgotten past, was a land of wine. With time, it turned into wilderness as the Mediterranean scrub land took over.It was a challenge for Amineh Pakravan and Enzo Papi to recover the original vocation of this territory and revive it with the help of new technologies, while fully respecting tradition. The pre-conditions for the cultivation of grapes were there: the micro-climate dominated by the sunshine and the breeze from the Mediterranean, variegated and complex soils with a wealth of minerals, gentle and well exposed slopes.

The Estate “Il Sosso” is situated amongst the vast hills of the Tuscan landscape between Arezzo and Siena and precisely in Lucignano, an exquisitely beautiful medieval historic village. The Farm has been owned by the Ravaglioli Family since 1965 showing the same boundless enthusiasm for cultivating the vineyards and constantly striving for quality.

The Collina dei Poeti is a farm situated on the hill of Spinalbeto in Santarcangelo di Romagna, just inland from Rimini and the Adriatic Coast.
In 2006 were planted 7 acres of vineyard, embellishing the landscape of these hills.
The vineyards are cared for producing high quality grapes, limiting yields. The harvest is done manually and takes place at different times based on the ripeness of each single clone of Sangiovese.
In the cellar they are processed and aged in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature and only the Riserva rests in large oak barrels.

The farm TreRe' was born in the early 60' thanks to my father Valeriano who after working in his famly farm decided to set up his own business by buying 14 hectars of land on the hills of Faenza.
In 1976 my love and passion for the land and wine shone and my father decided to put me in charge of the cellar. Seven years ago my son Massimiliano joined the business.
We produce different wines and our constant aim is to improve the quality and to cultivate our image, characteristics that made our wines known and appreciated all over the world.

The history of the Garofolis is a story of people and of a family that has been identified with wine making for four generations. The same philosophy has always guided them:a constant updating of production techniques while respecting traditional and historic wine making methods along with loyalty to the values of the special characteristics that the traditions of the territory have transmitted.

Orvieto has been a celebrated wine since antiquity, especially in Rome where it abounded in the dining rooms of the prelates and at the banquets of the Vatican nobility. A long history, rich in enjoyable anecdotes, such as that of Pinturicchio who, when signing the agreement for the fresco in the chapel of Santa Maria Maggiore in Orvieto, demanded a supply of “vin d’Orvieto quantum libuerit”, that is to say “ an unlimited supply of Orvieto wine”, while carrying out the work! The modern story of Orvieto is closely linked to the birth of the Wine House of Luigi Bigi in 1880. Thanks to the commercial instincts of Luigi Bigi, its founder, this classic wine travelled the world acquiring approval and fame.

The Pallavicini family has been present in the Latium territory since the second part of the 1600’s and weaves its own history with that of the region in the most diverse purviews, amongst which the running of agricultural properties and the winery near Rome. The particular commitment to viticulture has taken on a new lease of life thanks to Maria Camilla Pallavicini, determined to follow a project very dear to her: to contribute to enhancing Latium wine-making, especially that of Frascati, involving her family domain as the natural scene for this scope.
The Principe Pallavicini winery represents the largest privately owned vineyard dedicated to production of Frascati, boasting 50 hectares of white Frascati DOC grapes out of the 80 hectare total of vines.
All the Principe Pallavicini vineyards are in privileged positions thanks to the typology of the land and the climate, with forms of cultivation that include traditional cazenave and rational spurred cordon and Guyot, less productive but more congenial to giving wine with a higher concentration.

"...Dear father,
I am very glad to announce to you that, after all the efforts we made, we have been rewarded as deserved.
Our good wine, produced with great love and expertise, will be delivered everywhere in the Reign, starting today; I would also like to inform you that, in a few days, a cart loaded with our wine will leave for the faraway lands of Savoy and Grand Duchy of Tuscany.
You only can understand our feelings and how proud we are of all this. We always think of you. A big hug..." Your son Camillo
Camillo Di Carlo's letter to his father
Crecchio, 13 Dicembre 1830

Two centuries have passed since then and the property has expanded to become an organic farming business, Azienda Agriverde, now run by Giannicola Di Carlo. The Company exports its products all over the world and boasts prestigious international awards for its quality wines and olive oil. The Agriverde complex is unique for a number of special features and it is an ideal place to spend a holiday and to restore well being: colours, flavours, aromas and daily routine that are part of humanity's most ancient traditions.
AGRIVERDE wines divulge the culture of “terroir” melting the concepts of Climate, Geology, Topography and Soil.
The recovery of natural yeasts, going away from the standards of aromatic yeasts, gives to our wines a taste intimately tied to the territory, restoring the centrality of the natural element and of the features of the belonging “terroir”.
AGRIVERDE mission is to produce superior wines preserving what we inherited from Nature, in order to hand it down to future generations.
AGRIVERDE philosophy is centred on the respect of Nature and Man himself.

A wine-cellar turned into a business to renew archaic gestures enriched by new instruments day after day with only higher quality in mind. D’Antiche Terre has the image of a modern business. Revamped in 2005, it is headed by Gaetano Ciccarella and his family.
Growth is substantiated by a production that as increased a hundredfold over a few years. In fact production has grown from 35,000 bottles in 1993 to 350,000 in 2005. Running a modern business doesn’t mean forgetting the steps imposed by the seasons, the land, the grapes, or even the wine itself, which is a sort of blood tie for the people who have espoused the craft and passion for making wine. Scrupulously run by the family, with the input of experienced, strict collaborators fully involved in business decisions, there is an atmosphere of sincere spontaneity. Controlled and selected products have made D’Antiche Terre a gem of Campania oenology.
The finest grapes at Manocalzati, in the heat of Irpinia, are turned into precious nectar, thanks to expertise rooted in the centuries-old tradition of the art of winemaking.
D’Antiche Terre has been producing prestigious wines since 1993, but began activities tied to cultivation and sale of grapes obtained only from native grape varieties back in 1989. The same grapes are turned into our wine today.

In Salento. A big white canvas. White, like its tiny and assorted villages spread out over vast areas, the heel of the boot, in the southeast of Puglia between the Ionian and Adriatic Seas, Salento is a region which is both mild and full of energy.
Castello Monaci comes from here. In places which bear the mark of history, from their emergence – in the 5th century B.C. with the Messapi, breeders of the horses of Illyria – to the conquests of the Greeks, Byzantines, Romans and Turks. Up until today, with the light of the sun always the most important element involved. As with the Baroque, the lifestyle too is splendidly varied, new and old together, amazing like the sun.
Castello Monaci. Where white encounters the colours of the people. Rugged and elegant, but also lively and forceful, the people of Castello Monaci have the character of Lecce, nerve centre of Salento. Here there is a religion, art, music, trends, fashions in a seventeenth century setting rich with statues sculpted in soft, Ivory-coloured stone.
The contours of Castello Monaci blend into the lines of its native land. Salento lies between two seas, a territory of distinctive shapes and myriad forms representing nature. Fanning out around the castle and cellar, Castello Monaci’s 150 hectares of vineyards are planted mainly to indigenous varieties Primitivo, Negroamaro and Malvasia Nera. The estate is at the forefront of sophisticated innovation and technology and has a barrique cellar carved out of the solid rock that provides natural temperature insulation. It house over 1,000 barriques of French oak; shadows and silhouettes sculpted from light.

The history of the Fazio Company goes back four generations of people dedicated to the art vine-growing and wine-making. Recently Vicenzo and Girolamo have modernized the structures and production techniques in line with the needs of the actual market. This modernization first involved the management of the vineyards by a staff of technicians directed by wine expert Giacomo Anzaldi, a Sicilian and therefore an expert of the territory, who carried out reconversion of production to make the most of local vines without ignoring the nobler international ones. His experience which comes from working on the territory and studies abroad is also useful in production. In order to strengthen the ties between production and this unique territory, Vincenzo Fazio has promoted a plan to obtain D.O.C. recognition for Erice which will come in to being, for the 2005 harvest. In this way the Fazio family have turned the company into one of the most modern and dynamic, not only in its own territory, but in the whole of Sicily.

A small number of far-sighted producers began this Winery in 1956. With an inborn respect for agricultural traditions, the founder partners draped the land with noble vineyards, whose fruits they processed with passion, rendering homage to a territory that already at the dawn of human history our forefathers were well able to appreciate and exploit. Gentle, sun-kissed slopes and a bubbling stream mark the sites of our prehistoric ancestors who, thirteen thousand years ago in Palaeolithic times lived in the Puisteris area, today known as Mogoro. In the heart of the upper Marmilla region, this village famous also for the production of precious carpets and tapestries, is marked by its old buildings in dark basalt rock drawn from the plentiful stock of nearby Monte Arci: in the Middle Ages, it was the administrative district of Parte Montis, as is witnessed by the charming church of the Carmine. A town of faith, custodian of the miracle stones in the Parish Church of San Bernardino, Mogoro is marked by the complex village-fortress of Cuccurada whose multi lobed early Nuraghe stands on a hilltop as the ancestral beacon of the wine cooperative.
