Carlo (born in 1880) – establishment and production of wine to sell unbottled. An enterprising farmer from the Langa hills, the son of a family of poor sharecroppers. In 1921 he bought the Rombone farm in Treiso, then an outlying hamlet of Barbaresco, today a self-governing commune. There he immediately began to produce wine, which he used to sell, unbottled, to local restaurateurs. Fiorenzo (born in 1923) – the sale of grapes. The second last of Carlo’ s seven children, four brothers and three daughters, he inherited a small plot of land from his father in the early 1960s, when the property was split up among the four boys of the family. Since the resources left were scarce, Fiorenzo decided to discontinue his father’ s wine cellar business and to sell the grapes, which were much in demand among local merchants at the time. Bruno (born in 1951) – departure, return to the vineyards, the first bottling. Like most of the local youngsters, he was allured in the 1960s, the years of the economic boom, by the promise of a better life. He thus left Treiso for the city. After completing his studies, he worked as a teacher in a school in Alba and subsequently at the hotel management school in Barolo, where he introduced food and wine to the syllabus for students aspiring to a career in the catering business. But his bond with Treiso and his home turf was never broken. In the meantime, the old generation of farmers who had shaped the surrounding hills was slowly beginning to die out, and it seemed there was no one left to accept their inheritance. The turnaround came when Bruno suggested his family stop selling grapes, which were fetching poor prices, and fit out a cellar to make and sell wine, using fewer bunches of grapes per vine to allow them to ripen better. It was a simple idea and it may seem obvious today. But in these parts at that time it was revolutionary. Pruvuma (Let’ s give it a go) was the only word his father Fiorenzo had to say. It was 1982, the year Azienda Agricola Nada Fiorenzo produced its first bottle. Danilo (born in 1986) the fourth generation: winegrowers are born and winegrowers they remain. The early years of the new millennium crowned the new generation’ s complete discovery of farming and winegrowing: youngsters who were motivated, who could speak English, who were respectful of traditions, mindful of the environment. One such is Bruno’ s son Danilo who, after graduating, decided to follow the way of the vine. His choice marked another turnaround in a story that began almost a century ago and is now projected towards the future. Danilo has begun to write the chapter of tomorrow today, treasuring the heritage his elders have handed down to him and helped in his task by the generosity of a soil that has been there for millions of years – the soil of the Langa Hills.

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.

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.

Quattro Theory Wine would like to bring back to the original "Napa wine style" where you can't tell if it's French or American when you open the bottle. This is the original Napa style. It changed in the 90s and has continued to this day. Quattro Theory wines capture the true expression of Napa Valley and combine four distinctive elements: winemaker Landon Donley's purposeful vision, high-quality vineyards, precision winemaking, and experiences with food and friends. Made with care to be enjoyed casually.

The estate Anselma Giacomo was founded in the early twentieth century and since then the tradition in winemaking has been maintained. You will find the caracter of the company in every sip of wine. It is currently managed by the son of Giaculin Anselma, Franco, and his wife Maria. The passion and knowledge in traditional winemaking was handed down from generation to generation. The Anselma family owns vineyards in the area of Serralunga d'Alba, one of the most prestigious territory in the Langhe where the soil is calcareous clay and where the mild climate is intertwined with the area and has a positively influence on the quality of the grapes. The land we own is part of the famous VignaRionda vineyard, a "Premier Grand Cru" to use a bit of French. Much attention is above all paid to the work in the vineyard from the perspective that great wines are produced only from grapes of excellent quality. Maintaining the richness of the earth requires very much work and a lot of passion. ”With patience you get a great wine which has no rivals”. Our history goes back to the early 20th century when Felice Anselma, the grandfather of Franco, decided to produce his own wine. He firmly believed that the geographical position of land already had made a natural selection in grapes and therefore he chose to only make the traditional red wines from the Langhe area  from the native grapes. A philosophy which was carried on by Felice's son Giaculin and nowadays by grandson Franco.

The Pacenti estate was established in 1970, with the purchase of the property north of Montalcino (Pelagrilli) by Siro, who then proceeded to plant some important vineyards, which are still there today, in the fresh, clay soils of the land overlooking Siena. In 1988, management passed into the hands of Giancarlo. This was the year of the harvest in which Rosso and Brunello di Montalcino Siro Pacenti were bottled for the first time. At the beginning of the Nineties, the estate expanded to include land south of Montalcino (Piancornello). Here, in soils rich in minerals, at the end of the Sixties Giancarlo’s maternal grandfather had planted five hectares of vineyard which were to prove particularly important in determining the characteristics of Siro Pacenti wines. This is now where the Sangiovese rootings used in the estate’s new plantations are reproduced. The Nineties were also marked by the start of the partnership with the University of Bordeaux and the first experiments on phenolic maturity applied to Sangiovese (Yves Glories). The new cellar was built between 2001 and 2004, combining technology and experience with respect for the grapes and the land.

Giuseppe Sesti, the founder, has an interesting background, studied astronomy at university and then theater. With the family we moved to Montalcino in 1975 when he discovered the wine, but until 1992 he produced no bottle. With 1995 it is the first vintage came out on the market. The corporate style incorporates astronomy studied at the university in the cultivation of grapes and uses its theory for planting plants and when to start the harvest. On their Brunello Riserva every year a different label is created, inherent to an astronomical event that happened in that particular vintage. Her daughter, Elisa, is now in charge of the cellar. The top wine, Brunello Riserva "Phenomena", was released only in good-excellent years. The winery is located has a historic building called Castello di Argiano, one of the fortifications built to protect Montalcino in the 12th century.
