The best Italian wineries.
Aquila del Torre is located in Savorgnano del Torre, in the production area of the Eastern Hills of Friuli, an area of rare beauty that has always been suited to the cultivation of the vine. Aquila del Torre is currently merged into a single fund consisting of 18 hectares of vineyards, the remaining 66 are woods: most of the upstream of the vineyards areas are occupied by several forest species, including oaks, hornbeam and holly.
The territories of Aquila del Torre are characterized by an altitude that ranges from 175 to 350 meters above sea level, a height from which you can enjoy the rural landscape of the plains, to the castle of Udine. The arrangement of the hillside vineyards is characterized by the single–row terraces to catch the rays of the sun and uniform the ripening of the grapes: winegrowing in the hills is synonymous with quality wines.
Since the beginning of the latest century our family has been constantly devoted to vinegrowing and winemaking in the Vulture area.
Grandfather Anselmo, the first author of the success of the house, taking over the noble art of wine making from his father, decided in 1925 (a date still visible on the company’s door), to put up for sale the first bottles of Aglianico, until then produced for a family and friendly consumption. Some label types, photos and other tools of the period are still jealously guarded by us.
This was the beginning, almost involuntary, of a dignified enterprise, now in its third generation, with absolute respect for tradition, the historical context, the place and the environment.
The total production is around 150,000 bottles a year, whose number is strictly kept the same, in order to ensure over time a level of quality that allows us to turn to a medium–high target of consumers, lovers of quality.
Numerous are the awards won over the years both in Italy and abroad, as well as numerous are the articles in the trade press that recognize to the company the first great merits of spreading Aglianico, as well as recognizing it as a point of reference in the entire Vulture area. Despite the market and of image consensus, the spirit and the philosophy of the company remain unchanged, very linked to the territory, especially in Barile, the center of ancient vinegrowing and winemaking vocations, as evidenced by the Wineres area, a picturesque site that consists of over a hundred ancient wine cellars dug into the tuff representing the symbol of the art of wine making in Barile.
The winery of vinification is located in the foothills in the proximity of Cividale del Friuli, the ancient Forum Julii of the Romans. The vineyards extend over a complex geometry of land, partly flat and partly hilly. In the production white wines predominate (70%) compared to red wines (30%): this proportion reflects the history and viticulture of Friuli, a land of great white wines.
Our company covers an area of 50 hectares, of which 11 are specialized vineyards.
The vineyards are located on the hills of Campeglio and Prepotto, in the heart of the Colli Orientali del Friuli Doc, at an average altitude of 150/200 meters above sea level, facing south and south–east.
The land of Eocene origin consist of stratified marl and sandstone (on site called "ponche") and therefore strongly suited to viticulture for their position and composition.
The farming systems are "Short Cappuccina" and "Guyot", that give low yields and high quality.
All wines come exclusively from grapes from the vineyards of our property. The harvest is done manually after a careful assessment of the state of maturation.
In winemaking we use new technologies in respect of tradition, as we have always been committed to the pursuit of quality combined with the preservation of the typicality of wines.

The Karst is not only known for its wines and flavors, but also for the historical events that shook Europe and changed the fate of Italy at the beginning of the twentieth century.
The portion of the Karst, where the Castelvecchio Farm arises, in effect, was the scene of World War I in which these lands were snatched to the Emperor of Austria and the villa itself was for a time the seat of the Italian military command. The territory that surrounds it still retains traces of those bitter battles.
There, Giuseppe Ungaretti wrote "The Buried Harbour", a collection of poems written during a year spent at the front. Today, after hundreds of years, Castelvecchio preserves unchanged the testimonies of these events: the graffiti left by soldiers in the living room of the villa, the foxholes and paths in the forest that offer the visitor a chance to retrace firsthand some of the milestones for the history and culture of the latest century, among glories and tragedies.
To discover the history of Castelnuovo, the locality where the Castelvecchio farm is situated, you should visit the website of the "Amici di Castelnuovo" Association, founded with the aim to preserve and enhance the artistic, historical and cultural heritage of these areas.

In the heart of the Taranto area, thanks to the stubbornness of Dario Cavallo, the Mille Una winery has been founded. The production is based on 30 hectares of land owned and under management. Much of the land is planted close to the sea in the best suited land of "Primitivo" di Manduria and this happens in the towns of Sava, Lizzano and Maruggio.
The territory is characterized by red soil, rich in minerals and iron sesquioxide that give it its characteristic color. The vineyards are characterized by non–irrigated trees and an average age of 30 years with a peak of 50/60 years in the reserves.
In 1932 the Villanova Estate was purchased by a a visionary entrepreneur, Arnaldo Bennati, who turned what was a historic company into a modern enterprise.
Today, his wife Giuseppina Grossi is running it with passion devoting much of her time to the growth and the success of a historic company... that has still has many things to tell.
At the Villanova Estate we work with professionalism, experience and passion.
It is only by our ideas, insights and by the way in which we interpret the traditions of production, that wines with a unique personality can arise.
Nestled in the hills dotted with vineyards in the Medio Volturno Valley, the Terre del Principe Winery is a small precious treasure chest in which the private and daily life of Peppe and Manuela is paced by the breath of the wines fermenting or resting in the winery. As children growing up, the wines are day after day led by the hand to the final moment: the bottle. At the same time, every effort is put in the care of the vineyards, where the grapes that give the wines of the next season sprout and harmoniously develop.
Terre del Principe has a wide structure on two floors. Characteristic is the tasting room, where you can admire the view of the valley. In the center of Castle Campagnano, however, the historic barrel cellar is located. To mark the valuable time of the winery there is a dear friend of ours: Professor Luigi Moio. His winemaking and scientific expertise, his passion, his deep knowledge of the varieties of Campania and of Pallagrello and Casavecchia in particular, make of it an indispensable link of our adventure. As we love to say often, Pallagrello and Casavecchia are like Pinocchio, whom Peppe has given his heart, Manuela the word and Luigi intelligence.
Taurasi is the point of reference to know and appreciate the great wines of Irpinia. Taurasi is home to Aglianico and the award–winning Antonio Caggiano Wineries turn these grapes, vinified in single–variety, in the only DOCG red wine of Campania: Taurasi. Antonio Caggiano has experienced a major record: the company in Campania with the highest average in tasting for the Vini d’Italia Wine by Gambero Rosso. The territory of Taurasi, an Irpinia village, is the heart of the production area of Taurasi DOCG.
It is right in Taurasi, in the locality of Contrada Sala, that the Antonio Caggiano Farm is located.
The idea to produce fine wines in Taurasi, birthplace of my father, came in 2002, year of my entry to the faculty of Agriculture in Portici. In this way, the project of the construction of a winery in the center of Taurasi takes shape, where my family has owned vineyards in Piano dell’Angelo. The luck to have fine vineyards in an area of centuries–old winemaking tradition has made possible the idea of producing quality wines.
