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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
