The best Italian wineries.
Azienda Agricola Pandolfi Orsini, situated in the middle hills of the Marche region to about 300 meters above the sea, was born from the entrepreneurial spirit of the brothers Andrea and Luca Orsini who acquire the business of the family undertaken in 1894 by the pioneer Vincenzo Pandolfi. The winery is situated inside a rural estate that dates back to the nineteenth century, located in the center of the farming estate, in Montalfoglio locality, the town of San Lorenzo in Campo (PU).
The possibility of producing unique and quality wines, the experience gained in the family, in addition to the need to seek new market opportunities, led the young heirs to invest in their company planting new vineyards and innovating all the winemaking department.
The collection and selection of the grapes is done manually in order to avoid mechanical stress to the clusters. The whole area of the company belongs to the production area of the Pergola Doc.
The winery was founded three generations ago, when grandparents began to make wine with their grapes with the techniques and skills they owned.
Leonardo, father of Emanuele and Gianfilippo, founder in 1990 of the "Tre Castelli" brand, still held by the company, had immediately a huge success in the marketing of its bottled wines, and therefore decided to invest in the company planting new vineyards to meet the various requests.
In 2000 the company passed into the hands of Emanuele and Gianfilippo, who, in memory of the departed father, created the "Vignedileo" brand. After having created throughout the world appreciated wines, renewed the plant vineyards and renovated the cellar of Staffolo, Emanuele and Gianfilippo, not satisfied yet, with stubbornness keep firmly the imperative of high quality products. All this translates into a serious work of experimental agronomy, of extreme care of the vineyard and the adoption of the most advanced techniques of cultivation and vinification, respecting the environment and the territory.
Casa Vinicola Carlini wine house was founded in the late eighties of the past century, when Andrea Carlini, still a student, interested in experiencing the world of viticulture, decided to use in an experimental way the study and research an old vineyard, inherited a long time ago, to observe directly in the field the knowledge acquired and verify the forms of the production processing and grapes transformation.
Later, driven by the desire to create a winery and by the passion arose in the meantime, he decided to plant new vineyards, using the scions of native grapes of the old vineyard, which were still preserving the best clones of Sangiovese, Montepulciano and Albanella grapes.
Meanwhile, the impressive bluff promontory overlooking the Adriatic Sea, that from Gabicce Mare leads to the city of Pesaro, in which the estate was located, was declared Regional Natural Park of Mount San Bartolo for its high biodiversity and for the amenity of the hilly landscape. The wines produced in it obtained the recognition of DOC "subzone" of Colli Pesaresi quality, being a particularly suited for vinegrowing territory for morphology and climate.
The broad consensus acquired by its wines has finally prompted the company to explain the same passion in the promotion and in the cultivation of selected Pinot Nero grapes, perhaps the most noble grape variety, which was also recognized as a Focara "subzone" by the Ministerial Decree of 13/10/2011, obtaining a brut of excellence, vinified with classic method.
Azienda Agricola Villa Lazzarini farm owes its name to the place where its wine–making business began, which until 2009 was owned by the Lazzarini family. Counts Lazzarini settled in the Marche region, perhaps, since the year 1000 and with certainty since 1247 as demonstrated by the plaque found in Morrovalle of Macerata which proves that the Morro di Valle castle was in the possession of Count Lazzarino (Information taken from "I conti Lazzarini di Morrovalle" by Lanfranco Lazzarini).
The same Lazzarini around the first half of the 19th century owned land and a villa in the "Cimarella" district, currently owned by our Azienda Agricola Villa Lazzarini farm. The corporate brand with two dolphins stylized in a modern style inside a shield show the origins and the historical value of those places. The Villa Lazzarini farm, therefore, was founded in 2009 by the passion for wine of its protagonists, determined to realize the dream of their wine production, in the wake of the experience gained in farming by some of their parents.
The objective is the enhancement of the original vines in the area of Macerata and with the imprint of our territory the characterization of other types of vines. Our philosophy is based on a production of wines of high quality, respecting the environment and nature. The vineyard management is made, in effect, only manually, so as to keep intact the landscape, while the vinification favors traditional methods and highlights the characteristics of the grapes produced. Walking next to the rows, anyone can notice the mowing of grass and the remains of pruning used as natural fertilizers that help prevent soil erosion and prove the exclusion of herbicides.
Cantina Romagnoli winery is located in Contrada Santa Maria del Fiore in the town of Morro d’Alba, between the cities of Jesi and Senigallia, on the fertile hills that slope down from the Apennines to the Adriatic Sea.
The Romagnoli family has always been linked to the world of agriculture and for decades has focused and specialized its production in the wine sector.
The vineyards of the company cover an area of about 11 hectares and are located in two large DOC: the lands of Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi – Classico, and the limited territory of Lacrima di Morro d&rsuqo;Alba, a native variety that is located right in Contrada S. Maria del Fiore, one of the oldest sites of production.
The company is family owned and committed for three generations in the care of the entire production cycle: from cultivation to wine making, from working in the winery to bottling.
The Company is located in the central part of the Marche region, in the province of Macerata, in the hilly foothills area. Our production is focused on the Vernaccia Nera local variety, in effect, Azienda Vitivinicola Rocchi Paris & C. is the only one that can boast the production of the Vernaccia di Serrapetrona DOCG as well as the DOC – San Ginesio Spumante from Vernaccia grapes.
The estate vineyards extend over an area of 15 hectares in the municipalities of Caldarola and Belforte del Chienti.
The business philosophy, over the years, has never changed: constant search for quality excellence and the direct relation with the customer–end consumer: the only critic that counts to us.
Piantate Lunghe is a dream that has come true with stubborn determination: to revive and enhance a family passion, combining modern and traditional techniques.
The company was founded by the happy meeting of Amedeo Giustini, looking for partners to revive the family winery, with two dear family friends Roberto and Guido Mazzoni which added to the 4.5 hectares of Cantina Giustini their 8 hectares of vineyard, exceptional for position and care.
Those are hillside vineyards, with a perfect southern exposure, which degrade gently on the slopes of Mount Conero.
They are mainly cultivated with Montepulciano, to which a small percentage of Sangiovese is added, and offer, under the supervision of the agronomist Federico Curtaz, Rosso Conero DOC, DOCG and Sangiovese.
Le Senate was established in Altidona (FM) in 2003 by the passion of Giulio Visi and his desire to create a unique wine. The vineyards lie on a plateau 200 m above sea level, caressed by the sea breezes of the Adriatic Sea, and added, as Pliny the Elder reminds, in the first century BC, the ancient territory of the Ager Palmensis.
On a unique terroir, rich in concretions of calcium carbonate locally defined "cacinello" Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot thrive. Together with the careful and respectful work in the vineyard and in the winery, they give life to full–bodied, elegant and surprisingly soft wines, devoted to a great evolution.
Currently, the company offers Barbula 2012 and Cacinello 2011, the latter awarded with the Merano Wine and Culinaria 2013 Award.
The company was founded in 1997 in Contrada Calcinara in Candia (Ancona), by the initiative of Mario Berluti, an expert in the wine sector with experiences in the wine field, that brought him to identify in the composition of the soil of the hills of Candia an excellent venue for the development of the vine plant. It is so that in 1999, in the 20 hectares of owned land, he planted the first 4 ha of vineyards with Montepulciano grapes trained with spurred cordon.
The project is to bring the Montepulciano grape to its best expression, enhancing its strengths and highlighting the interaction that this vine can express with the land of Candia. That is why in 2005 the new vinification winery was founded and, only in 2007, the first Folle was created.
Meanwhile the vineyards were expanded reaching 9 hectares in total and also by the 4 hectares of olive groves the first single–variety oils were produced.
The whole family takes part in the entire production cycle, from the pruning of the vines to the harvest of the grapes in small boxes, from aging in oak barrels to the wine marketing.
The company is located in the Marche region (in central Italy on the Adriatic coast) in the territory of Monteciccardo in the province of Pesaro Urbino.
The estate covers an area of 60 hectares in hilly area at an altitude of 300 m above sea level and the composition and the exposure of the soil along with the microclimate contribute to forming the ideal habitat for the cultivation of the vine and olives.
The vineyard, of 10 hectares, was created in 2001 in the hills at an altitude of 300 m above sea level where, both the composition and the exposure of the soil along with the microclimate, help to create a perfect habitat for the vines.
After an accurate historical research on the territory and on the climate and soil characteristic grape varieties, 47,250 vines were planted, of which 27,250 with red berry and 20,000 with white berry. We gave priority to historical cultivars in our area like Albanello, Trebbiano, Incrocio Bruno, Alicante, Sangiovese and while not neglecting other interesting varieties such Aleatico, Lacrima, Bombino and Merlot. The training system chosen is spurred cordon espalier, for the vines characterized by low fertility of basal buds, and gouyot, for the vine varieties with high bud fertility.
The plant is characterized by a concentration of 5,000 plants per hectare and is provided with an helping irrigation system to compensate for any water shortages which may arise in particularly dry seasons.
Nine hectares of surface are grown with newly planted vineyards of grapes from vines of: Sangiovese, Montepulciano, Lacrima, Merlot, Maceratino (Greco Maceratese), Pecorino, Incrocio Bruni ’54 (Verdicchio–Sauvignon).
WINERY AND VINEYARDS
In the cellar, located right in the middle of the vineyards, the company produces and bottles DOC wines directly: Colli Maceratesi Bianco and Ribona, Rosso Piceno; IGT Marche Rosato, Bianco, Rosso.
The harvest is done by hand, in perforated boxes, with selection in the field and on the table in the wine cellar. The short path from the vineyard to the winery gives the opportunity to get high quality musts obtained, with regard to white wines and rosé, from the "soft" pressing of grapes with a pneumatic press.
The vinification of "red" wines occurs with whole grapes, de–stemmed. The winery is equipped with automated system for the temperature of the bottles. This allows, especially during fermentation, to preserve the typical aromas of the grapes, with gradually increasing temperatures.
Clarification is made with decanting. All with the wise guidance of an experienced oenologist.
Suspended between land and sea, in a beautiful and magical place, of ancient winemaking tradition, Crespaia has been created, the winery where everything is quality: drinking, living.

A young reality, but scrupulously careful to build on a land and a long tradition: this is Crespaia, born in 2011 at the foot of the old Prelato, among the olive trees and the rolling hills that surround Fano.
Crespaia takes its name from the energy of the ripples of the sea that ideally combines with that of the yard, that always been a place of encounter and exchange.
Crespaia, suspended between sea and land: in this name, in this nuanced picture, you can see the ferment of a wine cellar that offers a an open space, created to embrace quality in all its forms.
A place of taste, which seeks the luxury of simplicity. A place of meetings and passions, from that for wine and the good life, to love for nature and outdoor excursions.
Azienda Agricola Calcinari company is a new reality in the area of Pesaro.
Gilberto Calcinari, after years of winemaking experience, decided to create his own brand using the grapes of its production to obtain wines of high quality and great level.
It then started a new line of wines designed not only for those who appreciate wine as a characterizing element of a meal, but also for those who consider wine as an expression of culture rooted in the territory from which it originates.
It is from this land, rich in poetry and made famous by Dante Alighieri, that the bond with the songs of the Divine Comedy is forged.
The vineyards are located in a small pristine valley and favorably exposed to the sun, they have all the best conditions to produce new fine wines and flavors suited to the taste of a demanding and competent public.
The focus on quality in all stages of production, suggested an original method of processing where, along with the most modern winemaking techniques, they still use manual processes for the most delicate operations, as for the harvest, where it was decided to raise the quality by selecting from the vineyard, one by one, the best bunches.
Our story
Our first vineyards date back to the early 70s and are located in the municipality of San Paolo di Jesi, a classic area of production of Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi. In the early 90s we have also begun to grow young olive trees in the municipality of Cupramontana. With the growth of the olive grove, the quality and quantity of its fruits have confirmed their intention to bottle the extra virgin olive oil that it yields.
Our two realities: wine and oil
Verdiccio is alongside extra virgin olive oil, produced from an olive grove planted in the 90s in the area of Cupramontana, where the olive tradition has been rooted for centuries, we find references to olive oil and its properties already in Medieval period. Variety, climate and soil are the elements that determine the specific sensory features of Benforte extra virgin olive oil.
In the tiny village of Montemontanaro, situated on the rolling hills of the Marche hinterland, Azienda Agricola Giancarlo Pagliari company comes to life.
The company, which is exclusively family–run, in addition to the production of cereals and olive growing, is also involved in the wine sector aimed at generating quality wines.
The wines resulting from the processing of only manually harvested grapes within the estate’s vineyards and diversify in Bianchello del Metauro D.O.C., Colli Pesaresi Sangiovese D.O.C., Rosso Marche I.G.T., Marche Rosato I.G.T. e Vino Spumante di Qualità Metodo Classico, produced by Bianchello grapes.
