Piemonte
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.

Marche
The Sparapani winery is situated in Cupramontana in the heart of the Marche region.
The history of our winery, starts in 1933, when my grandparents buy this building and one hectar of Vineyard.
My grandmother sells food at the bazar and my grandfather takes care of the Vineyard and its products.
In 1980 my father, Sparapani Settimio, buys out their business, he really loves everything concerning with the vineyard and the production of Verdicchio wine and he wants his family to be part of this project.
There is a deep connection between his job, his family and his homeland, that’s why he creates a winery called “ SPARAPANI FRATI BIANCHI “, remembering the near hermitage.
The family decides to aim to high-quality wines and, in 1996, after have acquired know-how and technique, creates its masterpiece “ IL PRIORE “ Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Doc Classico Superiore.
With the arrival of Cloe and Gioele, the third generation of Sparapani’s family, we decide to start with the production of new and special wines considering new techniques: “ Donna Cloe” Castelli di Jesi Riserva Docg”and “ ‘Sso Gioele” where we only use Montepulciano grapes. Both are aged in oak barrels.
The new Sparapani wine cellar, inaugurates in 2015, is characterised by a strong architecture which elegantly recalls the traditional local way of building and where confort is given by an ample use of natural materials, such as bricks, stone and wood. Thanks to a careful functional study the plant ensures an increate efficiency in the cellar work, thereby also benefiting the quality of our wines.
Nowadays, we own 18 hectare of Verdicchio vineyards in eco friendly ( low environmentally impact) and, at the same time, we own a tipical restaurant
“ Da Fiorina “ where you can taste traditional food.

Friuli Venezia Giulia
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.

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.

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.

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.
