The story of Capichera begins over thirty years ago in Gallura, an area in the extreme north of Sardinia particularly suitable for viticulture.
The lands are not far from Arzachena, on which you can find the vineyards of Capichera, already owned by the family in the nineteenth century and intended for grazing.
In the seventies the Ragnedda family planted new Vermentino vines, the typical local variety of grapes and built a cellar for the production of high quality wines.
The brothers Fabrizio and Mario, investing energy and enthusiasm, embarked on their journey into the world of wine.
In 1981, the first Vermentino labeled Capichera began to be distributed in the market.
In 1899 excavations began to reclaim the area of I Piani, characterized by a thick layer of sandstone, as well as trachyte and limestone, which would have prevented the normal development of the vines. Some thousands of boulders of various sizes were removed one by one by highly advanced machines for those times.
Today, of that work of titanic proportions only some sandstone rocks remain, employed for a landscape purpose, that characterize the estate in a way that is unique in the world. A great overhead bridge built with only a few hundred of these large stones stands at the center of the estate: from above you can appreciate its extension and the respect of some natural areas that still today live together with the vineyards.
Pedres Winery stems from the vinegrowing and winemaking tradition of the Mancini family, begun at the end of the nineteenth century, and from the perseverance and farsightedness of the youngest of its descendants, Giovanni Mancini, and is situated in Gallura, in one of the most valuable vinegrowing area in Italy, and therefore, in the world.
Here, the natural features of the soil and the mild climate, appear to be exceptionally suitable for the cultivation of vines. The Pedres winery, located in Olbia, began its activity in September 2002, with a production of wines obtained from selected grapes coming exclusively from the Gallura area.
The irrefutable basic idea of the Pedres Winery is that the quality of wine is determined firstly in the vineyard, and the business philosophy, with a sound and careful management, pursues the quest for quality, the commercial seriousness and the proposal to the consumer of wines of guaranteed source.
In the center of Serdiana, among the streets and houses made of stone and brick clay. It has the same colors, the same volumes around the courtyard that was created to bring the carts drawn by oxen. A work by architect Savin Couelle, who has carefully preserved ancient buildings and has integrated new ones, in a respectful and consistent project. Materials and new techniques are combined with the Sardinian tiles and the plaster rough. The equipment of today unfold in the spaces of traditional agriculture. In large rooms the wine cellar becomes a place of hospitality and culture, where to hold events, meetings, courses. Here, step by step, grapes are transformed into wine that then matures in wooden barrels. Here we welcome guests, we taste, we teach. We make wine, preserve tradition and keep it alive and vital.
The company, founded in 2000, lies in the south of Sardinia, in the territory of Santa Margherita di Pula (CA), on an isthmus leaning between the lagoon and the sea, near the the very ancient town of Nora (X century BC).
Classical mythology indicates its founder in the Norace hero, the son of the god Hermes and a descendant through the maternal line from the fatal jellyfish that gives the name to our company.
Umberto Soletta still today cultivates a vineyard and an olive grove planted by the age of five with his father and his uncles.
Over the years he has continued to work the land and has kept alive an important family tradition, which has become over time a mission. In 1996, being more and more aware of the fact that the value of a wine depends also on the quality of the place where it is made, created an "oenopoly", in order to transform and enhance an area that had always stood out for the goodness of its fruits but also required significant environmental restoration measures. Carrying out painstaking reclamation, combined with the attentive care of the landscape aspects, he has restored with tenacity the traditional type of vineyard and achieved significant results, including commercial, creating a harmonious relationship between the natural, sometimes wild, surrounding environment, and man work.
The Skok wine company was founded in 1968 by the brothers Giuseppe and Armando Skok. The beginning of an activity in a period of choises and realizing immediately the potentialities of the vines in the Collio area, the brothers focused and put all their energies on this one.
The objectives of the Skok family has always been the vine cultivation, the production of grapes and its transformation into wine of quality. In addition, the is the great passion, real and palpable, infused to pursue and achieve the goals set.
Claudio Fabbro, historical voice of Collio, reminds that when he worked at the analysis laboratory of the Consortium, the most diverse wine samples were taken to him. They were generic "Bianco", with their respective number in the tank, or Tocai and Pinot Bianco, very popular in the 70s. Against the tide, Giuseppe Pepi Skok anticipated of ten years the guidelines of a dozen varieties of Collio and had concentrated, since then, his attention to the cultivation of Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon. With these wines, now the most significant results have been obtained, with the two "Bicchieri Rossi" by Gambero Rosso and "Vino Slow" mention by Slow Food.
Since 1991, the sons of Giuseppe, Edi and Orietta, have been running the company and have innovated the production and winemaking techniques. The very attentive care of the vineyards, made to express their potential in the best way, and a well–established philosophy of production, made them achieve the good results of today.
In 2011, the Skok wine company entered among the companies that Slow Food collects in the Super Whites group and represent excellence in the production of white wines in Collio.

The ambitious goal: to bet on bottled wine, red wines in particular, to give visibility and identity to the most important cultivar of the territory: Carignano, without forgetting the traditional white grapes of Sardinia, such as Vermentino, Nuragus and Nasco.

From the grapes of vineyards with saplings (Latin vineyard) wines based on Carignano are obtained, of exuberant extractive content, of noble tannic framework and perfect balance among organic acid component, alcohol and polyphenolic value.
The thoughtful use of French barriques closes beautifully and harmoniously the evolutionary cycle of these exciting wines.

Since 1885 the Fattoria Casetto dei Mandorli winery has been producing fine wines in Predappio Alta, an area of great historical importance in the viticulture of Romagna.
Since the year 1000, as reported by the municipal statutes of the time, the local economy has been based on the production of Sangiovese in numerous vineyards divided by feudal lordships among the "vinegrowers", who carefully cultivated the tree of Bacchus.
Giuseppe Nicolucci is the heir of three generations of winemakers, who have always lovingly cared for the historic vineyards of the family in Predappio Alta and for the ancient underground cellars, where Sangiovese reinforces in oak.
Fattoria Casetto dei Mandorli is the typical Italian family–run winery, based on the concept that vines, soil and climate are all one; this is why it continues to be the point of reference of Romagna and the forerunner of producers of Sangiovese. Today the winery and vineyards are managed with the same principles by Alessandro, winemaker and fourth generation of the family.
Predappio has its own microclimate, its traditions and its history, all this is reflected in the wines of "Fattoria Casetto dei Mandorli".
VILLA TRENTOLA Estate stands on the Cesubeo Hill, that of the current Bertinoro, in a wonderful landscape, among green hills, fields cultivated with cereals, olive groves and vineyards. Its domination, that of Castrum Brittinori, is linked to various popular legends, among which the most reliable seems to be the one according to which Galla Placidia, wanting to enhance the goodness of the wine of these lands, that was offered to her in a crude pitcher, exclaimed: "Not of such a rough glass you are worthy, oh wine, but to be drunk in gold". The estate has been belonging to the Prugnoli family since 1890, when the grandfather Enrico bought it by the Counts Gaddi. Since then, generation after generation, the love for this land and for the art of "making" wine has been handed down. Since 2002, the first year of production, the company has changed image with the advent of the current owner, Federica Prugnoli, who after graduating in Agricultural Science and working in France in a wine research laboratory, has dedicated herself full–time to the company, with the intent of reaching increasingly high levels. "QUALITY IS THE STARTING POINT TO GET AN EXCELLENT PRODUCT!". This is her philosophy. The property covers 40 hectares of land, including 20 of vineyards, of which the biggest part is dedicated to Sangiovese di Romagna, which is the heart of the wines of the estate; another part of vineyards is dedicated to Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The exposure of the vineyards, the nature of the terrain and the location inside a hillside amphitheater, include the conditions for optimal brightness and warmth to get a good maturation of the grapes and therefore great wines. To further improve the quality of the wines, Prugnoli is advised by a well–known winemaker, explaining the use in the winery of modern technologies of winemaking and wine fining.
