ウンブリア州のベヴァーニャは、アッシージの聖フランチェスコ大聖堂（画家ジョットにより描かれた『小鳥に説教する聖フランチェスコ』が有名）からほど近く、6haを所有するプラニ・アルケはオーナーのロベルト・ディ・フィリッポと妻のエレナによって経営されています。畑が広がるモンテファルコエリアは、緩やかな丘陵地帯に位置し、土壌は石灰質と粘土質で構成され、ボディとタンニンがしっかりとしており複雑味のあるブドウ品種、サグランティーノが収穫されます。サグランティーノの由来については様々な諸説が考えられており、1994年以降、畑は有機農法（Agricoltura Biologica）で耕されている。黒ブドウはサグランティーノ、サンジョヴェーゼそしてバルベーラが栽培され、白ブドウはグレケットとトレッビアーノが栽培されています。近年はより自然派ワインつくりに注力しており、グレケットを使用したペットナットなども高い評判を得ています。

Piemonte州Cuneo県のS.Stefano BelloにあるここのワイナリーはValdivillaの丘の背に沿って広がり、すり鉢のような地形による急勾配の畑に十分な日光が当たる好条件を備えているが、反対に厳しい労働条件であるともいえる場所である。標高は300～400ｍで粘土質と石灰質の交じり合った土質である。このような場所にPerrone一族は約8haの畑で３代に渡りCascina Gallettoのワイナリーを経営してきた。Moscatoを中心に他の品種も栽培しているが、近年実験的に新しいクローンのぶどうの研究も行っている。ぶどう栽培に関しては先代から続くオーガニックの方法を重視し、ワインの醸造に関しても必然的に伝統的手法を守り抜いている。また量り売りをしていたのも止めて完全に自社でボトリングをしている。

In 1928, Peter Zemmer, the great uncle of the present winemaker of the same name, established the winery. Vineyards and wineries in the best locations around Cortina s.s.d.v. in the lowlands of Alto Adige have been part of the winery since then. Helmut Zemmer, the founder’s nephew, has always been working in the business and after the early death of his uncle in 1969, he took over the winery, which he has turned into one of the leading companies in the region. Now his son Peter continues the legacy in the interest of his family. Peter Zemmer’s precious experience, detailed and innovative knowledge, together with the perfect natural environment, guarantee the quality and the expressive character of the wines, in harmony with the surrounding nature. The area in and around Cortina s.s.d.v. offers the ideal breeding ground for high quality white wines and authentic red wines. Peter Zemmer knows his land, his vines, and climatic conditions like the back of his hand and how to best work the soil. The authentic wines thus combine the closeness to nature and inspiration.

The property occupies two sites, one of approximately ten hectares in the hills of Rossazo in the heart of the Colli Orientali del Friuli, an area which favors  the production of high quality wines.  The second site found in Moimacco (3 km from Cividale) is of around twenty hectares and is also where the family villa and cellars are located. Being a relatively small company allows for a greater care of the vines and a more careful choice of the land.  Each step of the wine production process is carried out meticulously, from the harvest of the grapes to the bottling of the wine. ‘Ponca’ is a friulano expression which describes the land characteristic of the Rossazo area, made up of Marne and sandstone of Eocene origin. Some of the best wines of the Colli Orientali del Friuli come from this area, aided by a mild micro-climate which produces wide, elegant wines. The fusion of grapes from the Rossazo hills with those of the plains, which give perfume and elegance, result in a unique, full-bodied yet balanced wine. The ancient tradition that meets the most modern cultivation techniques. The estate has been in the de Puppi family for generations.  Of Tuscan origins, the de Puppi’s descend from the renowned Guidi family, lords of Poppi in Casentino.  Dante Alighieri, in a passage of the Divine Comedy, cites the Guidi’s, a testament to the power and prestige of this ancient clan. The war between the Guelfi’s and the Ghibellini’s created conflict and division within the Guidi family.  As a result, a branch of the family left Florence and settled in Friuli in 1200. Thus creating a new story, that of the de Puppi’s. Once established in Friuli, from the middle of the fourteenth century until the fall of the aristocratic regime, the family took part in the council of the nobility of Cividale. Land owners and leaders of mercenary troops, the family gave Friuli a series of prominent figures who distinguished themselves in politics, justice and within the ecclesiastical hierarchy. In 1703 Leopald of Austria, in recognition of the family’s important contribution, honoured them with the tittle conti del Sacro Romano Impero (Counts of the Holy Roman Empire). Our family has always played an active role in the running of the vineyard.  Combining (with the help of new generations) innovation with a firm belief in tradition and respect for the land. Our roots help to shape our approach to cultivation and production, whilst never getting in the way of an innovative outlook which sets us apart.

The history of Tasca d'Almerita starts in 1830s when 2 brothers, Don Lucio Tasca and Don Carmelo Mastrogiovanni Tasca, purchased 1200ha of the Regaleari land in Sclafani Bagni, halfway between Palermo and Caltanissetta. In particular, with Mr. Lucio, Tasca developed and greatly contributed to the agricultural land reform in Sicily. He was the first to be given the title of Earl Armerita when his son, Lucio, was in his second generation. With Alberto, CEO, Tasca developed even more purchasing level vineyards in Sicily: on Salina Island; on Etna and Mozia; and in addition on Etna.

Tempo al Vino is an offshoot of Schola Sarmenti in Salento, Puglia, whose wines are crafted by young winemaker Sylvia Formigli. Their young vineyards are just a short distance from the sea, farmed organically and maintained under the old Apullian training system called Albarello, which has been used since ancient times. The native varieties of the region such as Negroamaro and Primitivo are promoted and made to a very high standard under organic farming principles.

n the heart of the Classic Valpolicella area, more precisely in the municipal district of Marano, the Vaona family has always made Valpolicella wines while preserving the traditional values that are the winery's hallmarks.  The recently renovated wine cellar is part of a complex built around the mid-17th century. For generations, the whole family has been making RECIOTO and AMARONE della Valpolicella wines with passion and sacrifice every day.  The Vaona family owns about 10 hectares of land, characterised by excellent sun exposure, mainly in the hills and at an average altitude of about 200 metres above sea level. The fertile soils are ideal for producing the most famous and loved wines, AMARONE and RECIOTO della Valpolicella. The plant training systems used are: the traditional Veronese pergola system, and the Guyot system on the plains. The latter system encourages a low yield of finer quality grapes.

The winery Picollo Ernesto is located in the district, at an altitude of 260m of Rovereto, Gavi. Gavi was originally drunk at a restaurant along the coast of Liguria, but by being promoted to DOC in 1974 and DOCG in 1998, it became highly regarded among Italian wines. The field has been passed down to the third generation and is modernized with a stainless steel tank with temperature control and a bottling machine, but it also has a traditional method that incorporates the belief of the founder. The vines are 25 to 30 years old, facing south. In addition, no herbicides are used to grow grapes. The geology is clay and marl. The label's church is a church that he drew as a child in front they “cantina” and house, where they live.

Tenuta Il Poggione was founded in the late 1800s. Lavinia Franceschi, landowner of Florence, following the stories of a shepherd who brought cattle in transhumance around Montalcino, decided to visit the area and fell in love with the landscapes and people who lived there, he decided to buy land and make it a farm. The company was among the first to market Brunello di Montalcino since the early 1900s and one of the founding members of the Brunello di Montalcino Consortium. After more than a century, Lavinio Franceschi's work is still a point of reference for his heirs, Leopoldo and Livia who continue to strengthen the company with the same commitment and unaltered passion, combining the ancient and wise wine tradition, with the more innovative techniques. The Il Poggione estate covers approximately 530 hectares, of which 140 are vineyards, 50 are olive groves and the rest is arable land, woods and livestock.
