The Montalbera Wine Estate came into being at the beginning of the 20th century in an area covering parts of the municipalities of Grana, Castagnole Monferrato and Montemagno in the territory of the former Duchy of Montferrat, land of great expectations and promise. While it is difficult to trace the origins of this name it almost certainly refers to the characteristic wooded la ndscape and gentle hills which surround the estate. Around the mid-nineteen-eighties, the Enrico Riccardo Morando family, owners of the winery, started out on a policy of expansion, still in progress today, by acquiring neighbouring land and planting new vineyards, predominantly with the Ruché grape. Montalbera ranks amongst the most technologically advanced wineries in the world, it interprets with wisdom the “fruit” which the earth offers up in full respect of the local traditions going back a thousand years. The result of the winery’s growth allows us to state without exaggeration that roughly 55% of the Ruché di Castagnole Monferrato and roughly 12% of the Grignolino d’Asti “produced in the world” “springs forth” from the Montalbera di Castagnole wine cellars. Today Montalbera consists of two different wineries, the first in Castagnole Monferrato (Monferrato) of 130 hectares in a single lot recognised for its production of the “Red Prince of Monferrato” the indigenous Ruché, the second in Castiglione Tinella (Langhe), at the San Carlo estate, the birthplace of the head of the family, Mr. Enrico Riccardo Morando, of 15 hectares in a single lot given over to Moscato d’Asti production and other 2 hectares of Barolo Nebbiolo in the area of Castiglione Falletto (Barolo).

Le Formiche is a group of small wineries owners who decided to share their experience in order to find a new way to approach the modern and variegated world of wine. If compared to big wineries, our single members are like few little “ants” (in Italian le formiche indeed) and actually thanks to our labouriousness and commitment -the same that characterise these little insects- we find the strenght of will to work together and to offer our good quality products to the world-wide market.We offer two product lines: the first one includes a few very high-quality wines that we chose among small Piedmont wineries; the second one includes other wines, characterised by an extraordinarily convenient price/quality rate, that go under the label name of Le Formiche.

Tenute Sella winery is closely associated with the history of wine in the Northern Piedmont region.The story of the winery began in 1671, when Comino Sella purchased his first vineyard in Lessona. In the mid-1800s the Sella family bought some hilly grounds in the Bramaterra area and merged them into one property. At the same time, more vineyards were added to the property, vineyards of great value, such as San Sebastiano allo Zoppo (where the family’s villa was built), forming the core of Tenute Sella’s holdings. We are committed to the protection and promotion of the winegrowing areas of this corner of the Piedmont region. Our mission is to respect the characteristics of the different terroirs, set at 250 to 400 meters above sea level. Lessona’s hilly winegrowing areas are mostly composed of Pliocene marine sand deposits, while down in the valley the soil reveals marine sand deposits with shell fossils. The soils of this small DOC area are classified among Italy’s most acid vineyard soils. Bramaterra covers a vast hilly area with many woods extending for several kilometers. Geologically speaking, the area is made up of red porphyry of volcanic origin with traces of marine sands and clays. The main grape variety grown in our vineyards is the noble Nebbiolo, which here in our area fully expresses all its delicacy, finesse and elegance. We also grow Vespolina, Croatina and Erbaluce, varieties native to the Biella territory. All our wines are produced and aged by respecting tradition and the aromatic complexity of our grapes. Since 2013, after a change at the helm of the company, Tenute Sella has been working with renewed enthusiasm while remaining faithful to tradition and to its signature style.

The convento Cappuccini farm is located in the name-sake monastery situated at the summit of the built -up area of the Commune of Cassine, towards

Ricaldone, where the most extensive vines zone of all Piemonte begins, with about twenty km of road surrounded by hills as far as Nizza Monferrato, of

panoramic view of vines for both the sides.

Historically the Capuchins minor friars, already in the eighteenth century, produced in this monastery vines with the grapes coming from the surrounding

vines and with the grapes of the collection in the near vaileys , till when, around the half of the twentieth century with the reorganization of the order, cause

of the decreasing of places and people, the Monastery of Cassine was givenup to the canon Giovanni Benzi who has carried on with the activity for al lot

of time and with great spirit. At present the real estete and the wine shop, familiarly passed on, are managered by Botto family who aways dedicates itself

in the production of grapes and wine with its own vines. It is a lot of time since the activity exists but the philosophy remains the same that is to say the

philosophy of producing grapes historically of this territory, transforming the grapes in wine that has to have the characteristics of the production zone and

suggestion the wine to consumers of all the world, without following fashions or marketing that continually change. Passion, constancy and tradition are the

words that can resume our work and that guide us for the future.

The name Castello Bonomi comes from the original building in liberty style which was planned by architect Antonio Tagliaferri .

Bonomi family trusted this land’s potentialities, and, thanks to the passion and the ability of experienced men who knew the land and the grapevines, we

succeeded in producing excellent quality wines.

Close to Mount Orfano, in the south of Franciacorta, we have been working for decades the ground and the vineyards which, in these lands, create high quality

products. Franciacorta piedhilly climatic variability influences the beginning of the vintage in the different places, where the cycle of ripening of the grapes

is considerably different. The particular microclimate of Mount Orfano makes it one of the most important vintage areas in Franciacorta: the higher maxima

and minima, the largest exposure to the sunlight and a different calcareous base.

That’s why Mount Orfano is a very rich ground, where even plants which are typical of very temperate areas, like capers, can grow. Its characteristics give wine

a richer structure and a higher alcoholic strength.

Bosco del Merlo estate is located in Annone Veneto, close to Venice, where Veneto and Friuli meet. It is a territory where viticulture and enology enjoy a

long and renowned tradition. Between Veneto and Friuli, along the ancient path of the Postumia road, queen of the Roman consular roads, the stretch of

landscape offers the sight of highly specialised vineyards.

In this area the love of wine and viticulture dates back at least to the Roman age: in the first century AD, Plinio described this fertile area as a huge vineyard

and spoke about the boats that, full of wine amphorae, sailed from the north Adriatic ports towards Rome. After some centuries, the Venetian Republic

used to import the noble drink that became an object of exchange in all its empire. Bosco del Merlo estate was founded in 1988, and it was named after the

forest of oaks and ashes that in the ancient times used to cover the area between the Lemene and Livenza rivers.

Since 1990 Carlo, Lucia and Roberto Paladin have started an important expansion of the estate and winery. The commitment in the renewal of the vineyards

has notably increased and the estate in Annone Veneto and Portogruaro has now reached 100 hectares.

Severino Lorenzon arrived in Friuli as a pioneer in the early 50’s, buying abandoned land. With professionalness, entrepreneurial seriousness and passion for his work, Severino and his wife Maria, assisted by their son Enzo and his wife Silvana, went on to make this company one of the best vineyards in Friuli Venezia Giulia.The turning point came in 1991 with the acquisition of a vineyard with American vines in Romans d’Isonzo. Nature had given this habitat something different compared to the average terrain, marked by the changing moods of the Isonzo, a river dear to the homeland, but frequently ready to change course, creating diametrically opposite substrata. In 1995 another great opportunity arose: to buy the “apple company” bordering with the first “Feudi” vineyard. 50 hectares of apple orchard, 5 hectares of vines, farmhouse and country house. Today the “Feudi di Romàns” crù is 50 hectares of vineyard. the company is run by Enzo and his sons, Davide the company enotechnician, Nicola who deals with marketing assisted by Michela Sfiligoi, commercial director and Daniele Zimolo and Nicola Vecchiato the Romàns d’Isonzo. Terrain chosen by Enzo and Severino for their most prized vineyard, with American grapevines, which was acquired in 1991. Thirty years of experience on diverse terrains: S. Canzian d’Isonzo, Cassegliano, Scodovacca, Villa Vicentina, Romàns D’Isonzo, all ideally suited. The company counts a total of 160 hectares of vines, which in the future will grow, as the history of this company is constantly growing.

It was 1958 when some of the best wine growers located around the south-east of Lake Garda decided to join forces and create a cooperative in order to increase the value and awareness of the local wine production.Today, the 250 plus members of the Cantina di Castelnuovo del Garda own and manage more than 1100 hectares of vineyards, all situated in the picturesque and hilly region to the South and East of Lake Garda. This area is made up of the DOC wines Bardolino, Custoza, Lugana, Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon and incorporates the towns and villages of Castelnuovo del Garda, Sandrà, Sona, San Giorgio in Salici, Palazzolo, Peschiera, Sommacampagna, Cavalcaselle, Colà, Lazise and Bardolino.The Cantina produces more than 180,000 quintals (18 million kg’s) of grapes per year, most of which are grown within the DOC classification. The remainder are destined for the production of IGT wines. All the processes from the pressing of the grapes, vinification, ageing, etc. to eventual bottling are all carefully undertaken in the cantina, a property which now covers more than 20,000 square metres.

of the food and wine itinerary called ’Strada del Torcolato e dei vini di Breganze’ ’Road of Torcolato and wines of Breganze’, the story of the winery

Col Dovigo began. The love for the land and its precious outgrowth has been handed down generation to generation to the children, who, by treasuring the

knowledge and know-how inherited from their parents, bought new lands where they planted several vine varieties and renewed the existing ones by adding

some local vines such as Vespaiolo, Cabernet Savardo and Groppello, and other international ones, namely Chardonnay, Pinot Gris and Cabernet Sauvignon.

The discovery and exploitation of indigenous grape varieties represents a milestone in the history of the winery Cantina Col Dovigo: by investing resources

into and committing to the preservation of the typical area of Breganze Doc, the company started an unprecedented enhancement of its products, placing

its first bottled wines on the domestic market.

Today the wines of Cantina Col Dovigo are the result of the friendship among Stefano and Alessandro, always united by their consolidated love for

viticulture and confidence in the potential of the territory of Breganze.

Our company has always tried to elevate the peculiarities of each of our vineyard, vines and even individual strains. This meticulous process led us to believe, almost like a dogma, in the potential of our varieties vinified in purity and reinterpreted in a modern way. Absolute respect for the inherent characteristics of the grapes, choosing the most appropriate methods of vinification with preparation of detailed plans for every single vine. The mineral characters transferred to the wines of Lugana, the power and elegance of the Notte a San Martino, the richness of Condolcezza; the longevity and the character of fresh sparkling wines, are all the gifts that our land gives us. Our only concern is the ability to fully appreciate and share them with the patrons of good wine.Lugana grapes have among their fundamental traits, high acidity - an essential component of the sparkling wine, the health and preservation of the sparkling wine depend on it. For making sparkling wine, these grapes are harvested early and subsequently processed using the traditional mehod. Elected by the press as one of the best local wines of Italy, the Lugana Brut OLIVINI looks energetic, alternating a delicate nose with a sweet floral and fleshy fruit with strong hints of fresh bread.

In 1925, the grandfather Amadio was the pioneer of the farm. At this time he used to sell his wine to the best taverns in cities such as: Verona, Vicenza and Padova, transporting it in small barrels on a horse-drawn cart. His sons Gino, and Gigi, built on their father’s experience the reputation of Fasoli Gino wines in other regions of Italy and abroad.Together, with the work of Amadio-Franco in 1966 and Natalino in 1971, this has been the foundation from which this Winery has been able to grow. The first foray into organic cultivation came in 1980 and since 1984 all vineyards become organic. In 1990 they were A.I.A.B approved. Since 1925 it produces white and red wines, coming from the lower Illasi valley, at the east side of Verona country, which has a great vocation for oenological productions thanks to the type of terrains and its particular microclimate. The vinery products are entirely made from biological farming, among which stand out the Merlot “Calle” and the Merlot “Orgno”, the Soave Classico “Pieve Vecchia”, the Amarone della Valpolicella “Alteo” and the Recioto di Soave DOCG “San Zeno”.

ROSSO vERONESE IGT MERLOT “ORGNO”

Grape variety: 100% Merlot.Characteristics: The Merlot vine was planted in the Orgno vineyard in 1978. Our aim was to determine the potential of our soil, hitherto planted with white wine varieties, for red wine.The first results gave us cause for optimism: the Merlot vine took well to the area. Nevertheless, we waited 10 years before bringing it onto the market, as we were working to achieve the quality levels we believed were desirable. The length of ageing in French oak casks varies from 12 to 15 months.Drinking / Storage: This is a wine which is remarkably smooth,even when drunk young. We suggest that it is best drunk between 3 and 5 years from bottling, depending on the vintage. Store away from direct sunlight at a constant temperature of 15°C. Serve at 18°C.

ROSSO vERONESE IGT MERLOT “CALLE”

Grape variety: 100% Merlot.Characteristics: Grapes are harvested by hand, which enables us to select only the very best. The result is a wine of great structure and nobility, despite the young age of the vines.Once in the cellar the grapes are destemmed and then lightly pressed. The resulting must is transferred to steel vats for fermentation. Ageing in wood will last between 10 and 12 months, depending on the vintage. To allow for further development it is necessary for the wine to have some bottle-age before being sold.Drinking / Storage: We first produced this wine in 2000. We suggest it be drunk between 3 and 5 years from bottling. Store the bottle in a horizontal position, away from sunlight at a temperature of 15°C. Serve at 17-18°C.

AMARONE DELLA vALpOLICELLA DOC CLASSICO “ALTEO”

Characteristics: During the grape-harvest, the more loosely-packed, well-ripened bunches are selected: the grapes are then left to dry for five to six months before pressing. Fermentation takes place in thermoregulated steel vats, after which the wine is aged in French oak casks for three years. After bottling, the wine remains in our cellar at a constant temperature of 15°C to allow further gradual ageing. The high alcohol content is accompanied by particularly marked bouquet of plums, blackberries and cherry syrup, with spicy nuances, reflecting the concentrated sugars resulting from the process of drying the grapes. The effect on the palate of the high alcohol level is mitigated by the strongly fruity taste,dry but very mellow, with clearly defined acidity and well-balanced tannins.Drinking / Storage: We recommend that this wine, traditionally aged for a long period, should be drunk not less than two years after bottling; the bottles should be stored in a horizontal position in a dark place at 15°C. Open several hours before consumption and serve at 18°C.

The Paladin winery is located in the Venetian vicinity, where Veneto and Friuli meet. It is a territory where the viticulture and enology enjoy a long and renowned tradition.In this area the love of wine and viticulture dates back at least to the Roman age: in the first century AD, Plinio described this fertile area as a huge vineyard and spoke about the boats that, full of wine amphorae, sailed from the north Adriatic ports towards Rome. More recently the Venetian Republic imported the noble drink that became an object of exchange throughout its empire.1962 represents a fundamental year for the company. It is then that Valentino Paladin transformed a family passion into a real trade by creating a winery. His bottles became rapidly known in the wholeVeneto region, so that in 1985 Valentino moved to a new and modern winery in Annone Veneto.

Situated 600 meters above sea level, the vineyards are the perfect combination of tradition and innovation: The fruit of the collaboration between the owners and internationally renowned enologist, Stefano Chioccioli. We spare no effort or expense in producing our wines – combining the history and ancient grapes of Tuscany with the most modern techniques and latest knowledge. Frst vineyards were planted 15 years ago, planting selected vines suited to our unique soils and microclimate at high densities, and pruning for exceptionally low yields. In the ancient olive groves, new trees were planted and we now tend close to 1000 trees, all of native Italian varieties.

The San Vincenti farm covers 60 hectares of land and is situated in the municipality of Gaiole in Chianti, at an altitude between 350 and 450 above sea level.

The soil is made up of sand and marl rock. Two estates go to make up the farm: Stignano with 6 hectares of vineyards, with a density of 6,000 plants per

hectare, all of the Sangiovese variety and Le Corticelle with 2 hectares of merlot vines, with 6,000 plants per hectare. The vines are all completely exposed

to the midday sun.

The company does not use pasteurising refrigeration methods, therefore a slight deposit should be considered a sign of authenticity.

The owner of this enchanting private estate in Gaiole in Chianti is called Roberto Pucci, a dynamic entrepreneur just into his sixties from Prato, who having

fallen in love with the marvellous Chianti area some years ago decided to dedicate all his resources to the production of wines with a great character. Leading

the project is a man sacred to Italian oenology, Carlo Ferrini, a complete connoisseur of Chianti Classico and the maker of cult wines sought after by wine

lovers the world over.

The modern history of the Manzano Farm begins with the establishment of the Tenimenti Luigi d’Alessandro vineyards in 1967.

At the end of the 90s, after a long administrative process, a group of wine producers, all from the Cortona area and led by Tenimenti d’Alessandro,

succeeded in obtaining from the Ministry of Agriculture the Cortona D.O.C. ’Protected Designation of Origin’ Certification, effective from the 1999

vintage.

Attilio Scienza, a leading Italian agronomist, was the first person to realize the potential of Syrah in the Cortona area, but Tenimenti d’Alessandro had the

courage to turn the idea into reality.

Following Scienza’s recommendations, in 1988, an experimental vineyard of 12 acres was planted in order to identify the optimal relation between the vine

and the local terroir; accurately selected, high quality rootstocks ’R 110’ from the best vine growing area were chosen.

Many different varieties such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese and Mourvedre were tested. Attilio Scienza spent almost four years analyzing the

stratigraphy and the pedo-climatic aspect of the area, micro-vinifyng each portion of land. The final results were clear: Syrah and Viognier provided the best

soil-vine connection.

Podere Fortuna is situated 25 kilometers north of Florence in the heart of Tuscany, among the beautiful hills of the Mugello valley. The area has been the earth of great artists, such as Giotto and Beato Angelico, and of the Medici family, that since 1300 have been part of Florence history. Wine’s production in Podere Fortuna has been documented since 1465 when it was a part of the “Castello di Cafaggiolo” property, owned by Lorenzo il Magnifico, and in 1629 the Podere had a specialized vineyard, so unusual for that period, counting more than 8000 vines.Since 2001 we have planted new varieties of vines such as the Pinot Noir that seems to be particularly suitable for our weather and soil conditions. The vineyard, which has been planted with over 7.000 vines per hectare is divided in three parts whose grapes are separately harvested and vinified in order to verify the differences during all the phases of wine evolution.The grapes are hand harvested in small boxes and selected by two different triage tables before the vinification in French oak open vats. After a period of skin contact and fermentation of about 18th to 25th days, according to grapes conditions, the wine is left in Frence oak barriques for the following 12 months. After this period we decided how to blend the wines coming from the various parts of the vineyard and let them settle in cement vats for the following six months. Than we put the wine in bottle and we let it in the cellar for the 12 months of refinement preceding the sale that starts in the month of March of the third year following the harvest.

If it is true that behind each wine bottle there is always a story to tell, the Paolo Leo’s one is a simple and fair story, as well as all families stories have! They have been five generations of grape growers that, sharing the same wine passion and love for their family land, each built a piece of history of this winery, located closed to Brindisi city, in San Donaci village, and still named as in the origins.

Today Paolo Leo winery is a modern company spread on an area of 17.000 mq, a completely computerized bottling line, a wine capacity of 50.000 hl and 500 French and American barriques used for the wine aging. But the real heart of the vineyard is still the 25 hectares of grapes trees that

the great-grandfather planted at the beginning of ‘900. He used to make wine from his grapes in Monticello manor farm. His niece Paolo Leo finally inherited the land and built the winery. Today the namesake Paolo Leo is still a heir of the winery and together with his wife Roberta and the eldest sons Nicola and Stefano, he is leading the company. Thanks to further fields purchasing and further investments, they have been able to build a cutting edge and innovative winery.

Our Family began its adventure in the world of wine the same year that Bizet presented his “Carmen” at the Opéra Comique in Paris. That year, 1875, Vito Curatolo Arini built his winery in the middle of his vineyards.Since then, the family’s enthusiasm and commitment have never lessened. From the early ‘70s, when following a collaboration with the Davis Wine Institute we introduced the first concepts of modern oenology into Sicily, to the current partnership with a team of expert oenologists from Tuscany, we have always looked forward. Our success in foreign markets, along with the many awards received, have rewarded our efforts allowing us to write another chapter of a story which began more than a century ago.

Carlo Hauner, Sr., of mixed background, born in Brescia, in the north of Italy, but came from a family of Bohemian origins, is the creator of this agricultural firm that carries his name. As a young man he was a painter and, not yet 20 years old, he exhibited at the Biennale di Venezia. Soon he increased his popularity both nationally and abroad. His passion for wine-making can be viewed as the ultimate challenge of an intense life scattered with interests.In 1963 he arrived to the Aeolian Islands, Sicily, and summers after he decided to move to Salina to spend there his days painting the landscapes of those breathtaking places. Always very curious and active, he got attracted to the cultivation of Malvasia, a grape that local farmers harvest in the second half of September and sundry for about two weeks on mats, making the well-known Passito della Lipari.Hauner learned the local winemaking techniques and integrated them with the modern and ancient standards. When he understood he had acquired good knowledge of the winemaking techniques, he succeeded in putting together twenty hectares of land that he renovated and restored, reviving them as vineyards.He introduced innovation, considered as small revolution in winemaking, that attracted the interest of many experts, included Veronelli, a famous wine critic, who has brought Hauner’s Malvasia to the tables of prestigious restaurants first in Italy, but also in France, United States, Great Britain, Japan and other Countries.

Pietradolce was founded in 2005 and is set in Solicchiata, a village in the area of Castiglione di Sicilia on the North East slopes of Etna. The vineyard covers 10 hectars at a height above sea level of 600-800m and is divided into three plots, each in a different hamlet: Marchesa, Moganazzi and Chiusa Spagnolo.We have chosen to plant only vines which are native to Etna, grown for the most part in the traditional form as bushes (alberello). This preference comes from the profound conviction that this is what is required by the land which offers us hospitality. Nerello Mascalese, Nerello Cappuccio and Carricante are and will continue to be the main players in our story.

The “Santa Venere” Organic farm, extends for 150 hectares, on the hills of an ancient little Calabrian village called Cirò, in the province of Crotone, particularly known for its history and culture. It’s an area considered extremely valuable for wine and olive growing. The Scala family have been the land owners since the 1600′s. They have always devoted themselves to the cultivation of Vines, and Olives, but until recently nothing of the current farming complex existed. Initially there was only the Scala family home, attached to an ancient oil mill with a heavy stone grinding wheel, ( still kept carefully conserved) , which was worked by cattle, to crush the Olives. The vineyards, at that time, produced only grapes which were then directly retailed. From 1960, Federico Scala (grandson of Falcone Lucifero, minister of Real Casa) took charge of all these activities. He built a farming complex, detached from the family home, which he called “Santa Venere” after the name of the stream that passes through the property. Initially Federico, was the only family member involved in the business, until his son Giuseppe Scala, after attending University, decided to get actively involved. It was this new impulse, that led to the beginning of wine production. At this point, some important and fundamental decisions were taken to bring new life to the company; Giuseppe decided to go “Organic” ( which we are still proud of) and choosed the right man as Winemaker, Riccardo Cotarella
