The best Italian wineries.
The Castello di Cigognola company stands among the hills of the Oltrepò Pavese,
brembraced by Piedmont and Emilia, in what was once known , until the Unification of
Italy, as “Old Piedmont”. It springs from the intuition of the proprietors, Gian Marco
and Letizia Moratti, who, together with the oenologist Riccardo Cotarella and a team
of experts gambled on a particularly favourable terroir. Significant investments in vines
and the cellars transformed the ancient castle into a point of reference for excellence.
And so, high recognition soon arrived from the most prestigious Italian wine guides.
Azienda Agricola Cabanon was founded thanks to Giovanni Mercandelli who, with his passion and intuition, has put to use the efforts and the work that his family had always applied in the lands of ownership since 1909.
The company was expanded and totally planted with vineyards with modern and innovative standards.
Driving along the highway n°38 in Valtellina, you can see the marvellous vineyards on the Raethian side slopes, fruit of the tenacity of the local growers. The wine company F.lli Bettini has its seat in S. Giacomo di Teglio, not far from the chief town of Sondrio, in the heart of Valgella's production area. Established in 1881, it is among the oldest companies producing Valtellina Wines.
The owner, Guido Bettini, has been able to pass to his sons his deep love for this hard but fascinating activity. The family works together in planning the investment concerning both vineyards and cellars, never forgetting the great tradition characterizing the company.
The grapes coming from owned vineyards in the classical areas of Valtellina Superiore DOCG ( Controlled and Guaranteed Denomination of Origin) are carefully selected and then vinified in the modern and very well equipped cellars.
The wines for Riservas, Selections and for the Sfursat are matured and refined in precious oak barrels and in French oak barriques, in the "ancient cellars" of the company.
Guido Berlucchi & C S.p.A. di Borgonato (Brescia) is the mother house, founded in 1955 by Guido Berlucchi, Franco Ziliani, and Giorgio Lanciani. As classic-method sector leader in Italy, it relies on about 600 hectares of vineyards in Franciacorta and employs more than 90 persons in administration, winemaking, and vineyard operations.
The Vio family has been characterized by passion for winemaking for at least half a century.
The family’s passion for winemaking dates back to the early 70s. Ettore and Natalina began at that time to bottle wines sold in bulk up to that point. The small but modern winery is located in the municipality of Vendone; the surface of the plots is of about three hectares, of which two are vineyards.
Quality is the philosophy of this company: it is reflected in the meticulous care of the vineyards and the well equipped winery, where nothing is left to chance and is constantly improved and updated.
The company was founded in 1990: the intention of Danila was to recover the old vineyards and olive trees of her family. To comply as much as possible the traditional methods and having always been contrary to chemistry on the table, she adopted immediately organic methods.
The family–owned company, according to a typically Ligurian feature, is divided into different plots.
The Paganini winery stems from a long established familiar tradition.
A meticulous recovery of old vineyards located around the wine cellar at the foot of the Perti rock sets out in the Eighties. Some of them had even been explanted and replaced by other cultures.
Cultivation is made more diffcult by the typical terraces, “fasce” as they are called by the locals, which host no more than two or three rows of vine each, but allow a better sun exposition compared to flat lands. Besides, in night time they enjoy the heat released by the stones which make up the walls.
The species of grape which have been planted in the years are mainly Vermentino and Pigato, the two d.o.c. whites from western Liguria. Grafts derived from the traditional “cultivar” of this area have been used.
The company was founded in 1998 thanks to Maurizio Anfosso, in a historical place for the cultivation of the Rossese wine.
The winery is a small modern jewel and has rational systems, housed in an old building, of which has preserved and enhanced all the features.
It is situated in Ponti di Pornassio, on the provincial road for Mendatica, the seat chosen for the ideal climate for grape processing and wine storage, and to produce the Ormeasco wine, whose vinification can be made only in the territory of the Pornassio D.O.C.
The revival of the Genoese territory, especially the revival of DOC Valpolcevera, were made possible also thanks to Andrea and his strong will.
Cantina Bregante has been working already since the second half of the nineteenth century, and is still growing thanks to the acquisition of new vineyards.
The productive activity of the farm makes a use of modern technological equipments conserving the simplicity, in line with the tradition, which has till now characterized the workings.
Now the farm has got and enjoys the availability of a group of grounds in resort. This fragmentation of the productive location derives from the choice to diversify the production, reducing the factors of environmental risk and to give the opportunity to have many characterizing suspicions for the wine.
