ヴィッラ・ジューリアは1960年代にジューリア・カラファとマッテオ・カラファによって誕生した。2人はプーリア出身で若い時にトスカーナへ移り住み、出身地の想いと情熱を再現するべくこの場所にたどり着いた。1966年、フィレンツェのアルノ川で大洪水が発生した年にこのキャンティ・クラシコDOCGがあるサン・カシャーノ・ヴァル・ディ・ペーザに移り住んだ。今日までにオリーブ畑も開墾し、2001年にはサンジョヴェーゼ、メルロ、カベルネ・ソーヴィニョンを3ヘクタールに植樹した。家族経営で営んできたが2008年には新しいカンティーナを建設し、エノロゴのクラウディオ・ゴーリ氏を迎入れた。ここ数年はアジエンダ・アグリーコラ　コッレ・ソッリーパ社がワイナリーの経営と畑の管理の責任者となっている。

Tenuta Fontenuova was founded in 2012 by Giuseppe Raspanti but the first vintage released was 2020. Tenuta Fontenuova initially, with its 8 hectares, was dedicated to the cultivation of vineyards and the production of grapes. In recent years it has grown to the current 20 hectares, a growth focused on quality, modern viticulture, in full respect of the environment and tradition. All this has been possible thanks to the precious help of my sisters, Maria Pia and Elisa, and my wife Serena who play the role of fundamental consultants in facing current and future challenges. Potential production is 47,500, while current one is 6,600 bottles.

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.

After generations in the wine sector, the Pellegrini family founded Aia Vecchia in 1996 with the mission to create a portfolio of small lot, high-quality Super Tuscan blends. With the help of the famous Hungarian winemaker Tibor Gal, the Pellegrini family purchased exceptional property in the Bolgheri DOC. The fusion of the microclimate, terrain and elevation creates an ideal location for growing premium grapes. Aia Vecchia recruited well-known agronomist Daniel Schuster to assist with choosing varieties, clones, and different rootstocks, which come directly from Bordeaux in order to ensure the quality. The first vintage of Aia Vecchia’s flagship wine, “Lagone,” was in 1998. It is a structured and elegant wine that is remains one of the greatest values to come out of the Bolgheri region and has captured the attention of critics from publications such as Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast and more. At Aia Vecchia, we succeed in obtaining the best results through hard work and our will to express the natural characteristics of the Bolgheri region. Our production is limited in order to ensure the best quality goes into each bottle.  Attention to detail is seen in everything we do, from the farming, to the hand picking of the grapes, up to the individual vinification, fermentation and aging. All of this, coupled with our respect for the land, help us to create high quality wines that we are proud to present.

Out of the 56 hectares that make up our estate, roughly 8 are reserved for our Brunello di Montalcino, most of which are located in the north, near our wine cellar, while the remaining part is in the south-east area. Initially farmed as one single territory, to produce just one wine, in 1998 Marco had already grasped the potential of these two soils, realizing that to unite such different products meant to decrease Montalcino’s potential. Hence the idea of producing, alongside the “classic” Brunello that had been produced until then and would later take on the name of “La Mannella”, a new product, a selection originating exclusively from the grapes harvested in the south-east area, named, indeed, “Poggiarelli”.  The soil composition in fact, consisting of clay and sandstone at La Mannella, rocky and rich in marl for I Poggiarelli, made scents, tastes and sensations completely different from each other, and it was at once clear that these differences could no longer be ignored.

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.

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.

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.
