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.

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.

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.

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.

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。

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.

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.

The history of Fattoria le Terrazze begins in 1882 on the foothills of Monte Conero in Numana at the time when the present winery was built. Ever since the end of the nineteenth century the Terni family has been producing Montepulciano grapes which find their natural habitat in the area. Under the attentive guidance of winemakers, Federico Curtaz, today Antonio and Georgina Terni produce around 90.000 bottles of wine per year from hand-picked grapes grown on the farm’s vineyards which extend to around 16 hectares.

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.
