The best Italian wineries.
The winery of Ca’ del Bosco, surrounded by the green of vineyards and woods, is a journey in the ideal oenology: stone, steel, wood, glass. The "technological heart" of the company beats with passion and precision, artfully enlightened and framed by the intense green of the park.
The architecture blends harmoniously amongst the hills of Franciacorta. Shapes and colors are inspired by the shades of the forest: a wave of gray–green is reminiscent of the hill line and the vineyard profile. Everything is engineered to follow the pace of nature and to turn the precious fruit into wines.
Freshly harvested in the appropriate boxes, and classified as they arrive according to the vineyard of origin, grapes are cooled in special cells. Only the clusters that have passed the stringent selection come to the crushing: the experience of Ca’ del Bosco has given rise to a unique technique that
allows the total wine production in the absence of oxygen and the handling of the wines without bumping. A pair of "flying" tanks allow the transfer of musts and wines by gravity, through the principle of communicating vessels. Long wineries in the ground of stone, with temperature and humidity that are constantly monitored, cradle the maturation of wines in small oak barrels. Environments in a controlled atmosphere, innovative bottling lines, corks that are checked one by one by an optical reader and equipment designed and manufactured by Ca’ del Bosco guarantee in every bottle more healthy and of long life wines.
At this point the period of aging begins: the quiet passage of time and love of vintners will do the rest.
Giacomo Conterno founded this winery, Giovanni made it famous in the world and Roberto is carrying out the activity with the same seriousness and passion of his predecessors.
In 1908 Giovanni Conterno founded a tavern in San Giuseppe, near Monforte d’Alba, and between 1912 and 1920 began to produce his first Barolo reserve in both editions.
All the grapes for winemaking come from the vineyard in Cascina Franciaquot located in Serralunga d’Alba (CN) consisting of a single plot of 15 hectares. The main types of grapes grown are Langhe Freisa, Dolcetto d’Alba, Barbera d’Alba and Nebbiolo da Barolo, of which Cascina Francia stands out, and Barolo Reserve Monfortino, aged at least 7 years in large oak barrels.
Wine Spectator describes his Barbera: it appears dark in color, rich in nose, of fruit and floral scents, where hints of raspberry and cherry stand out. In the mouth it is soft and with good balance.
The passion and meticulousness of Giacomo Conterno make of his products the myths of Barolo and of enology as a whole.
His wines that are aged in large oak barrels for 45 months tell an extraordinary story of quality and prestige.

Our passion, experience and tradition have met those of the Orfino family, through the marriage of Rosa Orfino and Filippo Petrera (fourth generation) and in 1988 appears, in the small cellar dug into the rock, the first bottle of the 1987 vintage marked Fatalone.
The corporate brand originates from Filippo Petrera (second generation), son of Nicola, who was at the time dubbed “Il Fatalone”. Quickly became the nickname of the family, “Fatalone”, in local parlance, means “seducer” or “one who can boast an irresistible charm on women”, a bit like the legendary Don Giovanni. Filippo Petrera lived until he was 98 years old, between Bacchus and Venus, having breakfast every morning even to his last day with half a liter of fresh milk and half a liter of Primitivo wine.
In 1987, at the beginning as bottlers, we were the first to launch the challenge of vinifying and bottling Primitivo grapes in single–variety. In 1993 also Greco came, for the desire to test ourselves with this noble white grape variety.
In 2000, our vocation for the promotion and development of the area led us to create the Consortium for the Protection and Promotion of the Gioia del Colle DOC wines.
Ours is a small family–run farm, always strictly devoted to the practice of organic farming as a lifestyle, not as a form of business trend, with respect for nature and for all living beings, first and foremost for ourselves. As a guarantee of our activity, since 2000 we have placed ourselves under the control of the Ethical and Environmental Certification Institution, which certifies our organic production, even according to the American standards of the N.O.P. (National Organic Program).
The Winery is located in Lucera, in a farming estate of the eighteent century that Alberto Longo has chosen as seat of his company and restructured with the aim of producing wines of quality and of offering a qualified and professional welcome.
Handwritten registers preserved in the company show that once here stood the ancient wine cellar, active from 1906 until the mid–sixties, owned by the Cavalli family, an important family of Lucera. In those that were once used as corn pits, now there are high–tech equipments, able to control and manage every stage of production, from fermentation to bottling. Striking is the barrel room, where controlled light, temperature and humidity, ensure wines optimal conditions for fining.
Outside, the enchanting landscape of the castle of Lucera and the rows of Falanghina, Montepulciano, Bombino Bianco and Nero di Troia, tell with renewed value the story of these extraordinary territories.
An oak of the thirteenth century, cataloged among the centuries–old trees by the WWF, overlooks the winery and the vineyard with its majestic branches.
Cantina Giardino is a small family-owned winery that produces organic and biodynamic wine using traditional and natural winemaking techniques. They focus on preserving ancient grape varieties that are native to the region and cultivating them in their vineyards. Their wines are known for their unique flavor profile and terroir-driven characteristics that tell the story of the land and the people who craft them.
In the heart of Ager Falernum, in the tuffaceous hills at the foot of the volcano of Roccamonfina, in the municipality of Sessa Aurunca, in 1993 the Volpara farm was founded. After decades devoted to agricultural production of various kinds, they convinced themselves that time had come to give an added value to the company: to create a wine bearing the name of our land, produced by our own vineyard, farmed for decades by our ancestors. With the 2004 vintage they created the Falerno del Massico red "Tuoro", the 2006 Falerno del Massico red "Ri Sassi", Falanghina in single–variety "Donna Jolanda", and the frizzante wine "Rugiada". With constant efforts, the Volpara farm aims to make excellent wines that can be appreciated in national and international circuits.
This unique Riserva del Taurasi celebrates the 130th anniversary from the inscription of the Mastroberardino company to the Chamber of Commerce of Avellino. It was 1878 when the Knight of the Order of the Crown of Italy Angelo Mastroberardino, great grandfather of the current President, Professor Piero Mastroberardino, dealt with this requirement in order to start to export its wines to the countries of Europe and
of the Americas. The Mastroberardino family protected and disseminated the great wine values of the Irpinia territory since then, uninterrupted: Taurasi accompanied this compelling entrepreneurial story, as evidenced by the collection of nearly a century of bottles collected and stored in the caveau of the family, an extraordinary ambassador of the viticulture of Irpinia in the world.
The Aglianico grape has been able to bring out its best in this land, standing out thanks to its character, longevity, elegance, at the top of the oenology in the world.
This exclusive edition of Riserva del Taurasi comes from the 1999 vintage, which in the light of the facts established itself as the most interesting in terms of quality performance in recent decades.
The label of Taurasi Riserva Centotrenta depicts the faces of the three members who marked, with their professional and human contribution, the history of these 130 years.
The enhancement of indigenous grapes, the imperative of Antonio and Raffaele Troisi, and the central position of the company located in Montefredane, on the border between two of the most important designations of origin of Campania, pushed in 1989 to produce also the other DOC wine of the province of Avellino, the GRECO DI TUFO, from own grapes grown on the slopes of Montefusco at more than 600 meters above sea level.
In the early 90s, while continuing the process of enhancing of the typicality of the varietal grapes and wines, linked to the territory, Antonio and Raffaele found out in the Coda di Volpe "cultivar", particularly widespread in the province of Avellino, no longer a blending grape, as required by the product specification of Greco di Tufo, but a grape variety from which a IGT wine worthy to have its own bottle and label. Then, the selections in limited quantity came, the Greco di Tufo "Vigna Federico II" and Fiano di Avellino "Vigna Arechi", from long aging in bottle, with organoleptic and physico–chemical features of considerable quality to be enjoyed after a few years.
In a single site, a single vineyard, with a single type of grapes, a unique product is produced. A courageous choice, that of Maura Sarno, to grow in a single site a vineyard with only Fiano, which for her means authentic expression of the territory.
Candida, an ancient village in the province of Avellino, is located 600 meters above sea level. In a calcareous clay soil, the vines benefit from cool nights and mild summers, tolerating well the winter snow. The subsoil in spring returns to the roots heat and moisture, favoring in this way the minerality and the water supply to the vines. In winter, a great pruning is done in order to limit the amount of clusters on vines for the benefit of quality. In summer, leaf removal and pruning let grapes to be aired ensuring their perfect exposure to the sun.
The harvest takes place in full technological, phenolic and aromatic maturity, more or less in mid–October and is made strictly by hand to avoid grapes every kind of stress. The mashing of the grapes follows immediately, with a pneumatic press in closed cage. The soft pressure allows to obtain a must rich in varietal aromas. The aging of 6 months on fine lees contributes to complexity and minerality, making the finish very long.
The vinification (First Vinification: 2009) is entrusted to the oenologist Vincenzo Mercurio, who gave to this Fiano a vibrant and delicate style. The choice of a consultant with the talent and the mentality of Mercurio reflects the need for deep roots in the territory.

My name is Stefania Pepe, daughter of the vinegrower Emidio Pepe, who n 1964 began selling bottled wine, that his grandfather, Emidio Pepe, already in 1899 sold in bulk: Montepulciano d’Abruzzo DOC.
I am here, in the middle of our vineyards, 7 hectares of Montepulciano and Trebbiano d’Abruzzo DOC 100%, cultivated personally by my father with biological methods, ie without the use of chemical and synthetic fertilizers.
It is time to harvest! We thank Lord that allows us to collect in a few days the result of months and months of painstaking work.
More than 30 years ago my father started the selection of clones of Montepulciano d’Abruzzo to graft on American cuttings (because unaffected by phylloxera), and continues today with the very short pruning (to have a few buds and, therefore, a lower quantity and better quality of grapes per vine), green pruning and, finally, the hand selection of the bunches of grapes that turn into Vino Pepe!
