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。

The Cavalleri family boasts entire generations of farmers who have chosen to follow a path of growth, with seriousness and commitment. Only high-level objectives have been set, aiming for product excellence through the most natural methods possible. Starting from the earth and reaping, with work, the fruits that It can give.

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.

Founded in 1998, Rosa Bosco is a winery where female owner Rosetta and her daughter Alessandra started producing four types according to their taste under the guidance of brewer Donato Lanati. This was the beginning. Il Bosco Rosso, which is 100% Merlot and aged for 24 months in Barrique, Sauvignon Blanc, which is aged for 24 months in barrique, with three clones, Ribolla Gialla with a taste of minerality, and a splendid sparkling, Blanc de Blanc. Since 2005, Villa de Puppi has been producing Rosa Bosco as a luxury line.

Jean Velut is located in Montgueux village in the La Côte des Bar region, about 80km south of Epernay. The winemaking dates back more than 50 years and the family-run winery owns 7.3ha of vineyards. The winery has a very strong awareness of environmental conservation, using green manure and grass cultivation, and harvesting is done by hand. The maximum production capacity is about 28,000 bottles. About 40% of the grapes harvested are sold to other houses (top houses for Chardonnay cuvées). Montgueux village is also known as "Montrachet of Champagne". Daniel Thibaut of Charles Heidsieck, who gave it this nickname, purchases Jean Velut's grapes because of their unique, highly aromatic grapes.

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.

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.

In the 1950s Pierluigi Talenti purchased the property and the lands that he had fallen in love with and decided to move from Romagna to the gently rolling, sunny hills of Montalcino. Over the years, he devoted his time to clonal research into the locally grown Sangiovese, taking his wines to the highest levels of quality. Today, Riccardo Talenti continues that research, with the utmost respect for tradition, working with the very same passion and determination. The estate has been developed around an old farm called “Pian di Conte”, not far from Sant’Angelo in Colle, on the southern slope of the municipality of Montalcino, which has been restructured and expanded over the years. The property occupies an area of 40 hectares, among vineyards, olive groves, orchards and seed crops, surrounded by age-old holm-oak woods, characteristic of the Montalcino area.

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.
