The best Italian wineries.
The Persolino winery The winery is a modernly equipped educational laboratory in which pupils, already engaged in the production of grapes, are also involved in the subsequent stages of transformation, conservation and sale. Particular attention is paid to the quality of the wines produced; for this reason, some are aged in barriques, whose precious wood essences are irreplaceable to enrich the wines with the organoleptic characteristics indispensable to improve aroma and bouquet and favor the gradual achievement of full maturity. Thanks to valentia and the constant commitment of prof. Sergio Ragazzini, coordinator of the company cellar, was born in 1978 the first "albana passita" with a limited production of 500 bottles. The experimentation continued for a long time on red berried grapes then led to the production of "L'Amabile Persolino" in 1993. New wines have been added to these, but research and experimentation continue with confidence and constancy: the goal is always and in any case accurate winemaking which, even in limited quantities, ensures a high level of quality.
The Venturini Baldini farm was founded in 1976 on a historic estate on the hills between Parma and Reggio Emilia. The hills reach an altitude of 370 meters and provide an excellent microclimate for the cultivation of vines, with the sun breaking the winter fog and cold winters that temper the summer heat. The 130-hectare estate, made up of 30 hectares of vineyards and woods and pastures, was one of the first in Emilia Romagna to obtain an organic certification.
The cellar is located on the ground floor of the main house located in the center of the natural amphitheater of the vineyards. The space inside is simple and functional, following a philosophy that does not allow itself to be distracted by the large decorations but which devotes all attention to the production of wine. The modern and practical steel mixes with the wood of the large 10 and 50 hectolitre oak barrels that give body but do not weigh down with too pronounced notes. In these the wines evolve for a period of one year to three years and rest in the bottle for another one to two years.
Villa Corniole was born in the Cembra Valley, a land of "heroic viticulture" in Trentino-Alto Adige. The history of the wine and sparkling wine cellar "Villa Corniole" starts from afar, from generations of winemakers who with commitment and gratification have built and modeled one of the most suggestive panoramas in Trentino: the Valle di Cembra, where viticulture, defined as "heroic" it also represents the form of landscape protection, an invaluable value for the territory. In this favorite land, especially in Mezzolombardo, Teroldego grapes are grown, an autochthonous grape, first DOC of Trentino and Prince of Trentino wines, Lagrein and Pinot Grigio, three varieties that in the Piana Rotaliana express their sensorial characteristics at best .
Fattoria Carmignani is located in the heart of the hills of Montecarlo a few kilometers from Lucca. Since 1386 the Carmignani family has handed down from father to son the love and passion for the land and in particular for viticulture. Thanks to this combination of passion and modern equipment, our wines are born which you can taste accompanied by one of our sommeliers.
Poderi Arcangelo is a family-run farm and a farmhouse in the heart of Tuscany. My family has been producing wine for 3 generations, the total production is about 160,000 liters of wine per year, with organic certification since 2000. We only offer quality wines from organic production, we do not buy wine or grapes from other producers, so as to have better quality control of our products. We currently produce: 3 labels of Vernaccia di San Gimignano DOCG - Chianti Colli Senesi DOCG - Supertuscan IGT Sangiovese in Barrique - Quality extra virgin olive oil. We supply both national and international customers, paying particular attention to all the various needs of our customers. We currently operate successfully in some foreign markets including Japan, USA, Germany and we have future strategies to expand our markets.
A small organic farm in the heart of Tuscany. One of the many small Italian companies that, despite the difficult period, work with passion and commitment, obtaining excellent quality products so as to keep the deserved reputation of Italian wine high abroad. The Poggio la luna company is the realization of a dream of its founder Elisabetta Tommasoni who in 2012 took over, very close to the Terme di Saturnia, a small abandoned company but with great potential. A difficult terrain, in the middle of the Mediterranean scrub full of wild animals such as wild boars, foxes, roe deer, hares and pheasants, a stony and perfect terrain for the vine! The company is managed with the minimum use of mechanical means and chemicals, the vines coexist with bees that help keep the bunches clean as well as producing excellent honey. On a vineyard area of only 4Ha Elisabetta, with Francesco Rossi agronomist and oenological consultant of the company, breeds Sangiovese, Ciliegiolo, Merlot, Petit Verdot and among the whites Vermentino, Chardonnay and Viogner. An ancient Sangiovese vineyard with an intense blue fruit rich in polyphenols is carefully recovered from a state of neglect and is now prosperous and luxuriant: L'UNO derives a wine from the DOC Maremma Toscana. From the new vineyards shortly The Company will market two new labels, a Syrah doc Maremma Toscana aged in barrique and a Morellino di Scansano docg. In the cellar Elisabetta works according to the ethics of minimal intrusion, looking at the heritage of the terroir as decisive in forming the character of the wine. "A good wine is made above all on the plant, it is Nature that gives it to us!". The cellar practices are intended to accompany the grapes in the most natural transformation possible, limiting handling to a minimum. A good wine creates the perfect meeting between nature and the human factor. The importance of the moon: it is no coincidence that we chose Poggio la Luna as the name of the company, not only because when the moon rises or sets it seems to caress our vineyards with its rays, but also because, as our old farmers have always known , the moon has a great influence on all stages of wine making. We are always very careful to carry out all agricultural operations in harmony with the lunar rhythms: as usual, wines that will have to face a long aging are bottled with the waning moon and with the crescent moon the sparkling wines and with the full moon the others , but never bottle with the black moon or when it rains.
the Maltese Agricultural Company sees about 15 hectares in production, fragmented and parceled into about 30 plots, with an annual production of 1,200 Ql. of table grapes, both white and red. This plots, however unfavorable, has allowed us to have different "terroirs", different exposures and altitudes, suitable for a diversification of cultivated varieties useful to give a touch of uniqueness.
The current company was born in the 70s thanks to the passion for the land, and wine in particular, by the Maroni family, for four generations at the helm of the business, with the aim of producing extremely limited quantities of fine wines, in the respect for the local wine tradition. The owned vineyard, of about 9 hectares, is located in the hills of the municipality of Offida at an altitude of about 290 meters above sea level; it is cultivated with respect for the environment and its integrity, favoring the use of natural pesticide products, furthermore all the manufacturing processes are done by hand. The production of the wines is deliberately limited to maximize the quality through controls that go from the harvest to the bottling. The company produces wines of great value favored in this by an area with a high wine-growing vocation such as the Offida Pecorino DOCG CROCIAIOLO, Passerina IGT, Rosso Piceno DOC DOMENIC and finally the MORETTO IGT which represents the great challenge of our cellar.
Fattoria Ca 'Rossa has been located on the Bertinoro hills for three generations. In 1935 the vineyards and olive groves were planted by my grandfather Ugo. Ubaldo, my father built the cellar in 1960. Our land extends for 15 hectares on the Bertinoro hills. Since the 90's the company has been run by me, Massimo, and by my wife Liana Landini. Together, with passion and love, we have given a turn to the production, the image and the quality of the company both in the countryside and in the cellar: here we find the typical wines of the territory of which we respect the intrinsic characteristics using the ancient and classic production methods , which enhance the aromas and flavors, while using modern equipment and thus obtaining great products. In each sip of wine the story of a family united by the love of viticulture and their land.
Like other Tuscan farmers of ancient families, I find myself reconciling secular traditions with the evolution of the times every day. I believe that the love for the land, the vineyards, the olive groves, handed down for many generations, has become part of my genetic heritage. The legacy of the POPPIANO CASTLE in the Chianti Colli Fiorentini represents for me the legacy of the Guicciardini family from the 11th century, while MASSI DI MANDORLAIA in the Morellino di Scansano in Maremma is a new reality desired and created. BELVEDERE CAMPOLI in Chianti Classico is the latest act of a diversification oriented towards quality.
Located in the heart of Piedmont, in the Monferrato, the Angelini Paolo Agricultural Company consists of 40 hectares planted with vineyards on land that varies from the most calcareous to the most clayey. Every single variety has found its ideal place to give the best results. The recent modernizations, together with production techniques aimed at enhancing the typicality of each single grape variety, allows us to have a very varied range of wines closely linked to our territory. Maintaining respect for the classic vines of Monferrato, Barbera and Grignolino, curiosity made us dare with Viognier and Syrah, relying on over 100 years of history and experience.
Vinegrowing and winemaking tradition
With the purchase of the land in the area of the Castle of Buttrio a careful work of recovery has begun. From the vineyards to the land, from the castle to the farmhouses, all required support. Clod after clod, stone by stone, the project took shape. And from the 25 hectares, of which 13 of vineyards, the initial core was enlarged.
Alessandra Felluga, fifth&ndahs;generation winemaker, stood from the beginning by her father Marco when, in 1994, bought the estate in Buttrio. It looked like a gamble: to bet, in the Friuli of white wines, on the production of red wines of excellence. Alessandra understood, sharing the idea of her father, the inherent potential of the territory of Buttrio and took on the self–management in 2007. Today that vision is recognized in the results obtained from the 26 hectares of vines.
At the origins of the story, the Pampinutta hill
Browsing through the chronicles of centuries back, you discover that the land chosen by Alessandra Felluga for its wine world has a long memory of winemaking. This is demonstrated even by the name of the hill where the grapes of the Castle of Buttrio grow: Pampinutta, a clear reference to the leaves of the vines.
The parish register of the church of Santa Maria di Buttrio shows that already in 1429 Frederick, Lord of Buttrio, offered "conzi" of Cividino wines. And it states that the Cividino white wine was "very aromatic with flavor of Rosolio and carnations" and that in the same period were produced: "Ribolla d’Istria, Pinella, Clareda, Turbiano, Malvasia, Moscatello". In the seventeenth century were added: "Refosco, Picolito, Tazzelenghe, Bevert, Prosecco, Negrus, Fumat, Corvin, Cordovado, Ribolla Nera, Dulciolo, Berzamino, Ribolla Gialla and Verde".
The Castle of Buttrio today: wine cellar, charming hotel, inn
The beauty of the landscape, the fertility of the vineyards refurbished, the tenacity of the historic vineyards, the peace absorbed in every fiber to the passing of the seasons, the history breathed in the castle as well as in the surrounding countryside, clearly lived for centuries, are a treasure chest. Wonderful to be experienced, to those who can appreciate it. Hence, the idea of sharing the wine world with wine tastings in the cellar, lunches and dinners in the inn and stays in the frame of the historic residence transformed into a charming hotel, perfect as a location for weddings and events.
Etna is certainly an island in the island. The long and hot summers with significant temperature variations between day and night, the harsh winters and the millennial human experience in the cultivation of the grapes make Etna obtain absolutely unique and unrepeatable results. In this scenario, in the north–eastern slope of Etna, between 600 and 850 meters above sea level, are the vineyards of our company. The philosophy followed in the management of the company is to indulge the events to obtain always the best, also with the help of the most modern technologies in the winery.
The FATTOR Farm is a small family business whose vineyards are included in the Colli Orientali del Friuli DOC.
The natural inclination, the love and total dedication to the land of the founding father Giona Giulio Fattor, always aided by his wife Loreta, have been handed down to his sons Roberto and Fausto, who now run the company focused mainly on growing grapes.
The passion for wine, experience and sensitivity gained over the years, combined with constant investment in modern equipment, techniques of cultivation and winemaking in full respect of the genuineness and characteristics of the product, create a limited and quality production, a wine made from grapes harvested and selected by hand.
To complete the activity of the company, since 2007 all products can be tasted in its own farmhouse inn called "Cjasal Fornasate", situated a few hundred meters from the winery and buy retail wine of the company, in bulk and bottled.
The FATTOR winery is open all year by appointment.
