The best Italian wineries.
Azienda Agraria Di Sante company, our family–owned business, has transmitted the passion for wine from generation to generation. In effect, the great–grandfather Timoteo di Sante at the end of the nineteenth century began production in family consumption, devoting to vine growing a small plot of land near the village of Magliano. To follow, Oddo, his son, has kept the love of the land continuing to treat the family vineyard and installing a small inn. Today, to manage the company there are: Roberto Di Sante, his wife Gigliola and her son Tommaso. In recent years we have increased production, enlarging the company with the integration of the new lands and the construction, in Carignano, a modern winery.
Our company today is totally organically grown, particularly with respect and sensitivity to protect the environment, respecting the health of those who live and work and to future generations. We have 30 hectares of vineyards, located on the sunny hills of Fano, a few kilometers from the sea, between the hermitage of Monte Giove and the spas of Carignano, and an olive grove of about 4,000 plants, some of them centuries old, which stretches along the slopes of the area of Carignano, around the winery.
We produce extra virgin olive oil, also certified organic, Bianchello del Metauro wine, Colli Pesaresi doc Sangiovese wine, Marche IGT white wine e Marche IGT red wine, Spumante Brut Charmat method, Grappa di Bianchello and no–alcohol Grape juice.
Family business since the 19th century located in San Costanzo, the company was run with organic farming methods and raw materials are processed to have a broad basket of products including organic wines, oil, jams, canned vegetables and pasta. The company also has excellent accommodation offering with meals and overnight stay.
Despite being born a few years ago, the story of this Company has deep roots that date back to the beginning of the 20th century. Podere Giustini belonged to Raffaele de Franceschi Manzoni, first in the family to have planted a small vineyard in Candia. It became Giustini only when the daughter, Gioanna Maria, married Carlo Giustini.
What had began as a hobby, thanks to the expertise received by Raffaele, for Carlo became a commitment and a passion to double the area of the vineyard. A traditional method distinguished this production that became known in the neighborhood, and it is this craftsmanship, in addition to the rediscovery of tradition, the primary objective of niece Giusy and husband Nicola Splendiani who currently run the 4 hectares of old vineyard.
The work done on the front lines in the vineyards and in the winery, the focus of each bunch of grapes, the continuous pursuit of authenticity, lead to obtain high quality products.
The Amadio family founded the company in 1948 to produce wines of the territory.
The tradition is renewed in time and is passed down to heirs from father to son, and today over 30 years Mr. Pietro Amadio manages the family business on lands situated in the villages of Maiolati Spontini and Castelbellino, located in the provinces of Ancona (Marche Region – central Italy). In 1974 the winery was founded and on the base on continuous renewal and transformation it was changed to a corporation (Srl) in 1995.
Today the company owns over 35 hectares of vine huddled in the hills along the river Esino.
The vines are constantly expanded, maintained and renewed over time; what has always characterized the production of the Amadio wines is, in effect, the special care and respect of the vineyard. This is evidenced in the operations of pruning and ligation that are still made by hand, as well as the collection and the harvest; all is joined to the use of only organic fertilizers.
The vineyards are exposed to the north, arranged diagonally at about 300 meters above sea level and are built on a clay soil with limestone base.
The Amadio company produces wines of superior quality and in limited quantities. The Amadio Vini company is now operating under the "Castel di Marca" brand.
Azienda Accadia company was founded in 1983 on the Marche hills, within the classical cultivation area of Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi and Rosso Piceno.
Angelo Accadia, driven by love for the land and its products, is dedicated with passion and commitment to making wine in total respect of nature. Accadia wines are the result of special attention to the territory and the preservation of local biodiversity, both in terms of fauna and of flora. The vineyards management is done with noninvasive methods that allow the growth of weeds, nesting birds and the presence of beneficial insects. All this in order to produce wines of character, which can best interpret the territory.
To passion for wine, Azienda Accadia company combines love for art, since 1997 organizing artistic events that see the participation of painters, sculptors and photographers from all over Italy.
The company is situated on the slopes of Etna 300 m above sea level, in an area known for high–quality productions with Typical Geographical Indication. There, wines have been produced since 1825, once used as products to be cut with the wines of northern Italy and France and in bulk quantities. Only for a few years, following the introduction in the company of suitable wine–making machines, wine has been bottled with two designations: Rosso Cosentini and Nero d’Avola. The first is obtained with native grapes of Nerello Mascalese and Nero d’Avola 20%, the second only with Nero d’Avola grapes produced exclusively in the company since 1998.
Azienda Agricola Contino was founded by the experience and expertise of the Contino family, who for years, in the name of respect for the biological pace of the land, produces DOC wines that are estimated throughout Italy. The company’s vineyard stretches on the south–east side of Etna, on the slopes of Monte Gorna; thanks to the soil composition, characterized by volcanic sands, Etna Rosso DOC is obtained, a particularly fine wine that retains all the flavour of the land it comes from.
The use of modern technologies and the continuous search for modernity, combined with the respect of a healthy craftsmanship, are the guiding principles of the Contino family, who over the years has managed to become well–renowed for its wines, getting favorable feedback both by experts and by amateurs.
The company is located in the municipalities of Biancavilla, Santa Maria di Licodia, and Valverde (Etna south territory) and extends for a total of 18 hectares, of which 6 are vineyards and 12 are olive groves with cultivars of Nocellare Etnea, Nocellare Messinese Biancolilla and Moresca, all varieties required for the DOP Etna. The company was founded at the beginning of the twentieth century, but was refounded and innovated by the will of the La Rosa brothers Giuseppe and Marioche, who were doctors, but were not able to resist the lure of the ancient traditions of their family.
The wines produced under the direction of the oenologist Giuseppe Cascio are 3 labels for a total of 10,000 bottles a year. Among the services offered by the company, in a recently restored country house, there is the opportunity to organize meetings and cultural events for a total of 60 participants, as well as to use the premise of the restaurant with traditional or revisited by our chef dishes, for a maximum of 80/100 people.
Capirossa is located on the north side of the Park of Etna, precisely in Solicchiata di Castiglione di Sicilia. A few steps from the craters and the sea, the vineyards cover 15 hectares, alloted in the districts Barbagalli, Corvo, Bonanno, Tumacsi, all about 800 meters above sea level.
Historic vines (over 50 years), and recently planted, are part of a charming and unspoiled natural environment, with the typical terraces and stone walls of lava stone, characteristic of the Etna rural architecture, where the green blends naturally with the black of the volcanic soil. Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio, in addition to Grillo, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, express an excellent organoleptic potential, adapting to the extraordinary climatic conditions of our territory, celebration and maximum expression of typicality.
The winemaking tradition of the Russo family begins two centuries ago and has been handed down from father to son to our days. At first, it was 1860, the Russo family devoted themselves exclusively to the cultivation of vineyards situated in the area of Solicchiata, Municipality of Castiglione di Sicilia. Then, in 1955, Don Ciccio with his son Vincenzo, the current owner, decided to bottle the wine produced from the family vineyards creating a small winery. The first wine was called Solicchiata. It was 1956; the D.O.C. Etna certification was recognized in 1968, the same year in which the brand was renamed Rusvini, up to the mark of today that is Cantine Russo. Today, along with their father, there are Gina and Francesco.
Our vineyard is situated in the town of Castiglione di Sicilia in Passopisciaro locality, in Contrada Feudo di Mezzo, 700 meters above sea level, located in a very ancient extinct crater, where the Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio native vines are bred as "bush vines", supported by traditional pole chestnuts. The old part of the vineyard consists of strains that have an average age of 80 years.
We wanted to embrace the philosophy pursued in this territory of ancient farming tradition, the "bush vine", the manual cultivation, the respect of the Etna territory, the dry stone walls and the "rasole" in lava stone. The sandy–volcanic soil, the temperature excursions typical of 700 meters above sea level, a mountainous territory but in Sicily, the low yield per hectare (6,000/7,000 kg) given by pruning and cultivation with "bush vine" method, the harvest that is performed by handpicking not before the second half of October and finally, the aging in small oak barrels for 12 months.
What comes out is easy to understand: a red wine rich in essences and aromas, mineral notes; its smell is ethereal, with hints of ripe fruit, spices, hints of tobacco and vanilla, its flavour is dry, full, tannic, harmonious and persistent in taste. Ideal for red meats, game and mature cheese.
Cantine Don Saro arise in the wonderful land of Linguaglossa on the slopes of Etna. Our complete production has been created combining the centuries–old traditions handed down with the support of new technologies, that have become indispensable to be competitive in the global market. Tradition and innovation have always been our guiding spirit.
The winery is located at the top of an amphitheater entirely planted with vines and in 2007 it has been completely renovated following the new technological concepts, with stainless steel tanks and oak barrels for the aging and maturation of wines.
The barrel cellar, all in French oak and enabling the storage of 3,375 hectoliters, gives the opportunity to pamper wines expertly, so that they can express at your palate all the strong and incisive character of the nearby volcano.
In the winery there is also a wide Tasting Room, where we welcome large groups of enthusiasts, students and teachers of Onav.
Cantina del Regno is located on the slopes of Etna, in a fertile and rich in history and traditions territory; it uses the most modern winemaking and production technologies, to obtain products with high quality standards.
In addition to grapes from owned vineyards, the company carefully selects the grapes on the same territory of Etna DOC.
In addition to a production line dedicated to white, red and rosé wines in the bottle and sparkling wines of high quality, the company presents itself in the market with two other formats: the Stem format, versatile and affordable, to meet the needs of the ho.re .ca. channel, and the Bag in Box format, innovative, cheap and environmentally friendly, appreciated especially by the retail market and by consumers for its value for money and practicality.
The use of these technologies allows to work obtaining considerable advantages in terms of environmental impact.
In 1887, in Santa Venerina, the millstone and the cellar of the Scalia winery developed around a farmhouse in the Contrada Fago, planted with native vines of Etna.
From the viticultural and winemaking experience of the founders of the Scalia Maugeri Romeo farmhouse, nowadays you can appreciate the two Nerello of Etna types with Mahàgma, and the Nerello Mascalese in single–variety of Ciàuru, the most recent creations by Cantina del Fago.
With the complicity of the adjacent "I Giardini di Villa Fago" restaurant, you can taste Mahàgma and Ciàuru in accompaniment to the delicious traditional Sicilian dishes, in a context that makes you get lost in vineyards, citrus orchards, olive groves and the gardens of Villa Fago, all under the majesty of the volcano on one side and the view of Taormina and the Ionian coast on the other.
