Etna flows in the sap of the vineyards of Cottanera that, with its border viticulture, is one of the most interesting realities of the Italian and international wine scene. Those of Cottanera are vineyards that are located on lava rock, 700 meters above sea level, along the northern slopes of the volcano, and that screw with the atmosphere of Etna becoming the mirror of a unique, precious, charming and full of charm territory. The name, chosen by the company, is linked to an ancient village which limits the family vineyards along the bank of the river Alcantara.
Cottanera is a gem of 100 hectares, all grouped together, 65 of which are vineyards.
The vineyards and winery are located in Castiglione di Sicilia (CT), where, therefore, all stages of the supply chain from harvesting to bottling take place.
"To look to the future we can not ignore the education we received. Land, as my father taught me, is an invaluable asset, because it is the principle of all things, and of what we are". This is the philosophy that Guglielmo repeated and that wanted to hand down to his children.
Guglielmo was the first to bet on the value of those black lands. We are in the nineties when Guglielmo, along with his brother Enzo, decided to convert what was a hazelnut grove into a large vineyard, the first plants related to international varieties, and then, over the years, native grapes were added, the historic vines of Etna: Nerello Mascalese, Nerello Cappuccio and Carricante.
Today, after the death of Guglielmo, Cottanera is led by the brother Enzo and by the sons of its founder: Mariangela, Francesco and Emanuele.

There is an absolute novelty in the world of Friulian wine: wine aged in clayey amphorae of Roman type. The idea was made concrete by the Crosato Giovanni farm, which is located in the heart of the Eastern Hills of Friuli, a land that has always been perfectly suited to exceptional wines.
Giovanni Crosato, oenologist and wine producer, wanted to create a different product, away from modern technology, paying close attention to the language of the land: "Rosso d’Argilla" a new product, special and elegant at the same time, is the result of an ancient art that intrigues and fascinates, in short, a "different" wine. Rosso d’Argilla is only the first example of the philosophy of aging in amphorae; the Scacco Matto sparkling wine, the sweet dessert wine CRETA and the new BRUT NATURE called "THIS IS IT", belong to the new line of products made according to the same technique.
The new winery, located in Cividale del Friuli in via Fornalis 50, built with all the attention to the production of a natural wine that reflects the traditions accompanied by the technological novelties that are offered, stands out for the particular use of space: an area of work (barriques, wine cellar and amphorae cellar) and a welcoming environment where you can taste wines paired with cold dishes typical of the Friulian localities.
The Sottomonte Estate is located in Buttrio, 12 km south of Udine, in the district of the Colli Orientali del Friuli DOC, a hilly environment with a strong winemaking vocation.
The estate covers 110 hectares almost entirely cultivated with vineyards and has been belonging to our family for over 500 years. In the ancient documents preserved in our archives there are numerous historical records such as that with which, in 1140, ten colonies of Buttrio were given as dowry to a convent of Benedictine monks so that they could obtain oil and wines: the Sottomonte Estate, until a few years ago had still ten colonies. Of particular interest is the seventeenth–century Family Palace, newly renovated and now house of a hotel and restaurant: Palazzo d’Attimis Maniago with its stables.
A particular source of pride is the exclusive use of grapes grown with their own vineyards, 70% consist of vines born in the fields of clonal selection of the Estate.
Therefore, vineyards are perfectly set and wines are really typical. A "great" wine, for that matter, comes with no doubt from a "great" vineyard.
Recently we have expanded our wines with the "Casali Maniago" line.
Our company is located in the Colli Orientali del Friuli DOC. It has 14 hectares of vineyards. It covers more or less 14 hectares of vineyards in the hills, protected to the north by the Preapls and exposed to the south to the positive atmospheric effects of the Adriatic Sea, creating a ventilated and dry climate. The terrain consists of marly–arenaceous rocks of Eocene origin, and therefore ideal for the breeding of vines in the hills. It is rich in calcium, potassium, discreetly of phosphorus, magnesium and many other trace elements. The density per hectare, on average 5,000 vines, allows us to achieve a proper balance between quantity and quality in the product. We have equipped the cellar of the most modern equipment for winemaking, from fining to storage of wines, but we are aware that the most advanced technology can not replace nature, as good wine finds, as indispensable presuppositions, the high clonal selection of our vines, the quality of the soil, the special microclimate, but also the maximum commitment and passion of us and of our employees. Our production is currently composed of about 65% of white grapes and 35% of red grapes. We aim, however, to reach gradually a production of the same amount of white and red grapes.
Training system: Guyot and spurred cordon.
Planting system: 2.5 m between each row; 80 cm between plants.
Harvest by hand.
These choices limit the amount of grapes produced per plant in favor of a more high concentration of quality, in this way raising the sugar level, creating a more intense color and enhancing the aroma and flavor typical of each variety.
Our current production of about 50,000 liters.
Paolino chased a dream. He did it for seventy–seven years. Danilo and Gabriele fulfilled it in 1991: because also dreams are handed down from father to son. In this way, today in "Colli di Poianis" every blade of grass has again the name of a time. From these 11 hectares of vineyards, wonderfully exposed in the south–east and cultivated with great passion and awareness, in 1981 we won the prestigious "Risit d’Aur" for creating one of the first new vineyards of Schioppettino, aiming to the enhancement of native grape varieties rewarding in this way also the wisdom and foresight of Paolino.
Located in one of the most suited areas of Friuli Venezia Giulia, and precisely in Faedis (Udine) in the Eastern Hills of Friuli, the Colle Villano is a family–run farm.
The company was founded from the attachment to the territory. The DOC wines that arise from these vineyards became ambassadors of Friuli in the world: they represent quality, ability, care.
Each year more than 100,000 bottles spread throughout Italy and around the world.
Particular attention is given to the care of the vineyards, where the entire production is followed, respecting the surrounding environment and always trying to obtain perfectly healthy and mature grapes.
In the winery, the work is done with the aid of modern technologies while respecting and continuing the tradition of Friuli.
There is a tasting room where we will be happy to let you taste our products, trying to make you fall in love with this beautiful land. At the eastern borders of Italy. In the center of the popular D.O.C. C.O.F. production area.

On the label of my bottles you can see, new, in the complex and important Friulian winemaking reality, the figure of the Canus: the senex with gray hair and deep wisdom. He inspired me, placing myself under the wing of a regional tradition that identifies my family with the nickname of Grisn (white haired). This feeling of belonging to the land where the vineyard is located, has pushed my entrepreneurial spirit to confront with a past that is famous for the quality of the product. Thus, among the sweet thinning out of the eastern hills of Friuli, wetted by the waters of the river Judrio, which marks the border with the equally generous lands of Collio, my grapes produce wines of the most genuine tradition. From the vineyards that in the late summer of 2004 celebrated our first vintage, aware of the safety of the steps taken, I look, like the Canus, away; with the right pride of the founder.

Terre degli Svevi is a young company, recently built, created in 1998 when GIV took it over from a noble family which owned lands and estates in Venosa.
The Vulture is an area particularly suited to the production of great wines, in particular Aglianico, that is a vigorous wine and has nothing to envy, for structure, body and complexity, to the famed Italian Amarone or Barolo.
Aglianico is the prevalent grape variety in Basilicata, but also in the province of Avellino in the Campania region, where it is also known by the name of Gnanico, Agliatica, Ellenico, Ellanico and Uva Nera.
Its origins are ancient and it seems it was already cultivated in Roman times.
In this way, for Terre degli Svevi the design of a winery focused on producing high quality Aglianico del Vulture, a real niche in the market both in Italy and abroad, started to be implemented.
They started almost immediately replanting 120 hectares of vineyards to produce Re Manfredi Aglianico, the company’s forefather, and immediately joined by an Aglianico of the Serpara vineyard.
King Manfredi, historical character of the region, was the son of Frederick II of Swabia, who on the death of his father, in 1258, became the ruler of Southern Italy.
He was excommunicated by Pope Innocent IV, who was facing his political independence, elected King of Sicily in Palermo, and reigned until 1266, when he died in the battle of Benevento.
Dante speaks of him in the Divine Comedy.
Aglianico Re Manfredi got the “3 Bicchieri” by Gambero Rosso and the “5 Grappoli” by AIS, together with Serpara.
Then, several gold medals in international competitions such as Mundus Vini, Expo Vina, the global contest of Bordeaux, came.
A few years after the foundation of Terre degli Svevi, a white wine of great success was produced, too: the Re Manfredi Bianco, made of alien vines (Muller Turgau and Traminer).
