Spadafora is a noble Sicilian family, whose first certified traces date back to 1230. Over the centuries, the Casato had the predominance over five principalities, a duchy, two marquisates, a county and twenty-five baronies. Some of the family members have occupied leading positions in the Kingdom of Sicily and in some European States. The founder of the farm is Don Pietro dei Principi di Spadafora, who inherits the estate from his uncle Michele De Stefani, a talented farmer and breeder of race horses. The estate suffered a lot of damage during the 1968 earthquake but don Pietro undertook both the reconstruction and the redevelopment of the company, reevaluating the native vineyards and bringing to Sicily allochthonous vineyards destined for the birth of quality wines. The current owner is Francesco Spadafora, son of Don Pietro, married to his wife Claudia, flanked by his daughter Enrica. The history of Spadafora bottled wine begins more than thirty years ago, in the summer of 1988, when Don Pietro Dei Principi di Spadafora decided to explore another world; so from the countryside of Mussomeli, family property in the Sicilian hinterland where wheat was cultivated, his son Francesco moved to Virzì to take care of the vineyards, transforming the grapes into wine. Spadafora wines are made only with our grapes, located in the Virzì district, (Municipality of Monreale, map sheet 142), in the area adjacent to the cellar, so much so that it is defined as the garden that surrounds our houses.

ワイナリーはサルディーニャ島のほぼ中央部に位置する。ヌォーロは周辺で植栽されているのは主にカンノナウで、この島全体の収穫量の43％を占める。セディレスのワイナリーがあるマモイアーダは高品質のカンノナウが収穫されることでも知られている。標高は700mで意外と高い。風化した花崗岩が主体のカリウムが豊富な土壌を構成している。気候は冬は寒く、比較的雨が多く、春夏は乾燥する。9、10月は昼夜の温度差が顕著。ワイナリーを継いだ息子たちはこの島の地場品種のカンノナウにこだわったワイン造りをしているが、甘味系のペードラピンタ（グラナッツァ種）にも力を入れている。樹齢は古いものは50年、平均的には30〜40年のものが多い。総生産本数100,000本。

Tenuta Fontenuova was founded in 2012 by Giuseppe Raspanti but the first vintage released was 2020. Tenuta Fontenuova initially, with its 8 hectares, was dedicated to the cultivation of vineyards and the production of grapes. In recent years it has grown to the current 20 hectares, a growth focused on quality, modern viticulture, in full respect of the environment and tradition. All this has been possible thanks to the precious help of my sisters, Maria Pia and Elisa, and my wife Serena who play the role of fundamental consultants in facing current and future challenges. Potential production is 47,500, while current one is 6,600 bottles.

After generations in the wine sector, the Pellegrini family founded Aia Vecchia in 1996 with the mission to create a portfolio of small lot, high-quality Super Tuscan blends. With the help of the famous Hungarian winemaker Tibor Gal, the Pellegrini family purchased exceptional property in the Bolgheri DOC. The fusion of the microclimate, terrain and elevation creates an ideal location for growing premium grapes. Aia Vecchia recruited well-known agronomist Daniel Schuster to assist with choosing varieties, clones, and different rootstocks, which come directly from Bordeaux in order to ensure the quality. The first vintage of Aia Vecchia’s flagship wine, “Lagone,” was in 1998. It is a structured and elegant wine that is remains one of the greatest values to come out of the Bolgheri region and has captured the attention of critics from publications such as Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast and more. At Aia Vecchia, we succeed in obtaining the best results through hard work and our will to express the natural characteristics of the Bolgheri region. Our production is limited in order to ensure the best quality goes into each bottle.  Attention to detail is seen in everything we do, from the farming, to the hand picking of the grapes, up to the individual vinification, fermentation and aging. All of this, coupled with our respect for the land, help us to create high quality wines that we are proud to present.

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.

As a winemaker, I am a minimalist in every sense of the word, especially when it comes to Pinot Noir,” said Derek. Derek founded Bravium―a Latin word meaning “gift” or “prize”―in 2007. His widely acclaimed small-lot Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are characterized by excellent structure and aging potential, along with invigorating acidity, which allows for seamless pairing with a variety of foods. Of all the influences that have shaped Derek’s path, his family’s Cherokee heritage has been the steady drumbeat that led him to the right places at the right times. His parents gifted him the name “Winter Hawk” as a child. To this day, the sight of a hawk feather in his vineyard reminds Derek that he is fulfilling his destiny. That rich heritage gently guides his hand in the cellar. For Derek, terroir is a gift.
