"Camerlengo" is the title of the Cardinal who administers the Apostolic Chamber and takes care of the worldly goods of the Holy See.
The name of this beautiful wine is inspired by the events subsequent to Frederick II in 1250 when the Guelphs and Ghibellines fighted fiercely to defend the Pope and the Swabians, respectively.
In those years, Manfredi, son of Frederick, supported by loyal ones, went in the various towns of Lucania which in that political uncertainty had declared themselves faithful to the Pope.
As he passed, Manfredi obtained more and more consensus and support, but in the city of Rapolla things went differently.
Rapolla was loyal to the Pope and, confident in his support and protection, strenuously resisted the armed siege of Manfredi.
In this way the Pope, through Cardinal Camerlengo, in sign of recognition for so much loyalty, gave to Rapolla some land to cultivate.

The Cristiano Guttarolo Wineries are hosted within an ancient farmhouse located in the Murgia plateau about 400 meters above sea level.
The company was founded from a project aimed at promoting the culture of wine and the redevelopment of this grape variety that, in the countryside of Gioia del Colle, is expressed with particular elegance thanks to the altitude and the extreme temperature changes between day and night, as well as for good ventilation and the peculiarities of karst terrain of the Murgia area.
The devotion to tradition of vintners is an important thing for the Pichierri family. The company’s history is linked to the great paternal figure of Pichierri Gaetano, a farmer from birth, who grew fertile vineyards of Primitivo; later he deepened his knowledge as a winemaker in the wine cellars of the Sava area, that at the beginning of the twentieth century were known throughout the national territory, also thanks to its winemakers, Don Amerigo Mancini and Guido Cal.
Immediately after war, the Pichierri family, still led by the paternal figure, Gaetano, began on its own the production in the winery of chosen wines, leaving to their children Cosimo, Vittorio, Roberto and Aldo the task of continuing the great tradition of the family.

Guaranteed success for other labels, now known, wether you taste the wines of the Vini Estremi line, from lively and mineral white wines, to bubbles, of precise and never banal character.
The Antinori family has been making wine for more than six hundred years: since, in 1385, Giovanni di Piero Antinori became part of the Florentine Art of the Vinattieri. Throughout its long history, spanning 26 generations, the family has always personally managed the activities with innovative, sometimes courageous choices, always with unwavering respect for tradition and the land.
Today, the company is led by Marquise Piero Antinori, with the support of his three daughters Albiera, Allegra and Alessia, engaged in business activities in the first person.
Tradition, passion and instinct have been the driving qualities that have made of Antinori one of the leading Italian producers of quality wines.
Every vintage, every terroir, every idea that is willing to lead off a new beginning, a new search for more and more high quality margins. As Marquise Piero loves to repeat: the ancient roots play an important role in our philosophy, but they have never held back our spirit of innovation.
To the estates of Tuscany and Umbria, historic heritage of the family, with time investment in other areas suitable for the production of quality wines in Italy and abroad were added, where they could embark on a new path of development of new terroir with high production potential.
Antinori continually experiments in his vineyards and wineries with selections of clones of indigenous and international grapes, types of crops, vineyard altitudes, fermentation methods and temperatures, traditional and modern winemaking techniques, types of wood, size and age of the barrels, and varying the length of aging in bottle.
Piero Antinori says: «We have proven, over the years, that in Tuscany and Umbria there was the opportunity of producing wines of quality, internationally recognized, theat could show elegance and finesse while maintaining their original character».
Looking ahead, Antinori said: «Our library has many titles, but not rich enough for us. We have a mission which is not fully accomplished, which pushes us to express the vast potential of our vineyards and reconcile the new that is still to be discovered with the assets of the Tuscan style which includes tradition, culture, agriculture, artistic and literary fact that represent the identity of Antinori, and one of the greatest points of strength lies in the fact of being in Tuscany, or, if you prefer, in our "Tuscanity"».

Among low hills dotted with cypresses and Mediterranean scents, among shelters of migratory birds and forests that lead gently to the sea, there is a natural paradise full of vineyards, olive trees and fruits that fill the nose and the palate.
192 hectares: this is the overall extension of the estate, among vineyards and winery located in Ornellaia and the adjacent Bellaria area, north–west of Bolgheri. A rich and varied area that, thanks to a combination of alluvial, volcanic and marine terroirs, plays its part in the making of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot of excellence.
Fontodi belongs since 1968 to the Manetti family, devoted for centuries to an activity typical of the Chianti area: the production of the famous terracotta.

In the Hofstatter Estate the most well–known grape varieties in South Tyrol are grown. They have the undeniable privilege to name the vineyards placed on both sides of the river Adige.
It is exactly the work in the vineyards that leads continuously the producer to new challenges: decades of monoculture have exhausted the land, have deprived it of life, that life needed by vines to stay healthy and develop all their strength. And what they need is strength, today more than ever, for the alternation of extreme weather conditions.
Lately the word terroir is used as a slogan, as if it were a fixed concept, but that is actually subjected to changes which winemakers must take into account well in advance in their work between the vine rows. They have to understand, respect and harmonize all the elementary preconditions for the growth of a vine of excellence, unique and full of character.
Only in this way, even better grapes can be obtained from a vineyard that has already been producing good grapes for a long time.
Hofstatter is already working, without knowing the details first, on how we can better face the ecological challenges at the global level starting from a small living reality such as a vineyard.
