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。

With a long family tradition in the wine industry, in 2003 Marika Drusian decided to start her winemaking journey. She purchased the first vines in the “Ru de Confin” estate, close to the city of Vittorio Veneto (TV) and she re-planted them from scratch. In 2006, she produced the first vintage of her Prosecco Superiore Althea. Today Marika owns 13 hectares of Glera grapes vineyards, cultivated paying attention to quality and practicing sustainable viticulture. The meticulous care for details, typical of the female management, is a distinctive feature of Althea. Every single activity is performed accurately, from the vine to the final bottle.

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.

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.

1979 Giovanni Panizzi purchases the Santa Margherita estate just outside the ancient walls of San Gimignano. There is also a vineyard of a few hectares, with which Gianni, almost for fun, starts producing wine, with passion and his own style. 1989 With the advice of the oenologist Salvatore Maule, the technique is refined. In 1989 there was the first real harvest and, the following year, the first Vernaccia di San Gimignano was sold, characterized by the unmistakable label. 1995 Panizzi quality and style are affirmed by critics and wine lovers. The vineyard surface grows, as does the number of bottles produced. As early as 1990, other wines were born, including Vernaccia di San Gimignano Riserva and Chianti Colli Senesi Vertunno. 2001 Vernaccia di San Gimignano Riserva '98 Panizzi is awarded, by the Gambero Rosso Italian Wine Guide, with the assignment of 3 glasses: it is the first time that a Vernaccia di San Gimignano has obtained this coveted recognition. 2005 Giovanni Panizzi, while remaining at the helm of the company, passes the baton of the property to Luano Niccolai, who will be succeeded by his son Simone who, in the following years, transforms the company into an Srl, increases the vineyard area and expands the cellar.

The estate covers 400 hectares in the territory of Castelbuono, in the Madonie Park, on hilly terrain at an altitude of between 200 and 500 meters above sea level, swept by the breeze of the Mediterranean Sea and just a few kilometres away from Cefalù. Each stone of the Abbey tells a story: A story that began in the twelfth century. Abbazia Santa Anastasia can boast a wine-producing legacy dating as far back as the twelfth century. It is a legacy handed down by the Benedictine monks. Its mark is present in every stone, plant grape: a tradition that is rooted in the respect for the earth and in the creation of an ecosystem that expresses its identity in every bottle of wine. Founded by Count Roger of Hauteville in the twelfth century, it was first entrusted to the Theatine monks and later to the Benedictines. The latter started the production of wine, which soon became the most requested on the tables of nobles and clergy in Sicily. For a long time, the abbey was the cultural and economic centre of the area, thanks to the interest in wine. After the Benedictines left the abbey, the complex underwent a slow and unrelenting decline until becoming a ruin. A series of works requiring great skill and aiming at excellence made it possible to recover the abandoned lands, restoring them to their original lushness thanks also to the extraordinary characteristics of the microclimate. The results achieved were also made possible by the contribution of two outstanding figures like Giacomo Tachis and Riccardo Cotarella . The accurate and masterly restoration of the complex made it possible to restore the ancient pomp of the abbey, creating an exclusive resort to offer hospitality with world-class comforts. The resort hosts its guests in 28 rooms, each dedicated to a grape variety. The facility features two restaurants, which are the ideal setting to discover Mediterranean cuisine and the estate's wines, as well as a modern gym, a swimming pool and over 400 hectares of land for walks to discover the true nature of Sicily.

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.

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.

コッリオ（Collio）のゼーグラ（Zegla）地区、スロヴェニアとの国境に近いゴリスカ・ブルダ（Goriška Brda）の丘陵地帯では、ワイナリーは独特で目を引く金属製のプレートによって示されており、今ではコッリオの風景の一部となっています。「コッレ・ドゥガ（Colle Duga）」を示すプレートは丘の麓、そしてダミアン・プリンチッチ（Damian Princic）家の住居兼ワイナリーへと続く道の入口にあります。プリンチッチ家は1889年以来、祖父ジュゼッペの時代からブドウ栽培とワインメイキングに従事し、1991年には当時まだ非常に若かったダミアンが家業を引き継ぎ、自身の土地の個性を見事に表現したワインを生み出します。ストラクチャーと酸、そして塩味（ミネラル感）を備えた心地より味わいが特徴です。

小さいながらも設備の整ったカンティーナではウスティカ島の特色を明確にするワインがつくられます。白ワインは3種類、そしてロゼと赤ワインが作られます。ブドウ品種ジビッボは島を代表するブドウ品種であり、スローフード認証のレンズ豆とならぶ２大特産物にも指定されるほど。ウスティカ島はパレルモより70km北に位置しフェリーでたどり着くことができ、ティレニア海に浮かぶ人口1300人ほどの小さな島。海底火山が盛り上がった島でもあり、土壌は火山灰質。火山と海の偉大なエネルギーによってできる農作物は近年大変注目を浴びています。

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.

ここのワイナリーは現オーナーのPieroの祖父が1932年に畑を購入したのが始まりだが、父が折半小作農家として土地を手に入れて再びぶどう栽培に取り組んだ。長年Isole e Olenaで働いたPieroはその間も父から受け継いだ畑にぶどうを植え続け、メルロ、サンジョヴェーゼのクローンを選び直した。3000本弱だった植栽本数も6500本まで増やした。Isole e Olena退職後は父親が残した小さなワイナリーを「Colmano」と命名してワイン生産に乗り出した。彼の畑はほぼChianti Classicoの北限と重なっているのでサンジョヴェーゼの生育条件としてはやや厳しいという。なお、Pieroは年に2回、インドに出向いて現地のぶどう栽培を指導し、またワイン醸造コンサルタントとしても働いている。
