The wine represents <strong>the</strong> union of different territories, climates, and grape varieties,<br />
of multitudinous traditions and working methods, each applied in a different way by <strong>the</strong> individual grower-producers.<br />
It is an expression of men, of territories, and of <strong>the</strong> link between <strong>the</strong> two.<br />
It is “unique” in <strong>the</strong> sense that it is <strong>the</strong> sole wine ever to be produced by Selezione Fattorie, with <strong>the</strong> invaluable assistance of<br />
Dr. Giacomo Tachis, who assembled <strong>for</strong> this unrepeatable blend of one hundred liters of <strong>the</strong> best red<br />
wine of each producer in September of 1999.<br />
A series of 2.265 Magnums were produced, each numbered. It is an incomparable wine which will bring to mind <strong>the</strong> enormous viticultural<br />
patrimony of Italy with <strong>the</strong> limitless sensations which it inspires when tasted.<br />
Every ef<strong>for</strong>t, every appreciation on your part will be <strong>the</strong> finest possible recompense<br />
<strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> tireless daily work of <strong>the</strong>se producers in <strong>the</strong> vineyard and <strong>the</strong> cellar.<br />
Your pleasure will, <strong>for</strong> us, be <strong>the</strong> greatest possible gratification, a sign of a constant commitment which invests <strong>the</strong> same enthusiasm in <strong>the</strong><br />
marketplace that <strong>the</strong> producers invest on <strong>the</strong>ir estates.<br />
The last bottles of this wine, boxed in individual wooden cases, are available along with <strong>the</strong><br />
booklet which gives <strong>the</strong> history and working philosophy of each of <strong>the</strong> various producers who<br />
contributed to <strong>the</strong> blend, at a price of € 45.
Valle D’Aosta<br />
Saint Pierre (Aosta) - CHATEAU FEUILLET<br />
This small estate, just three hectares (7.5 acres) in size, is located in <strong>the</strong> heart of <strong>the</strong> production<br />
zone of Torrette, a stone’s throw away from <strong>the</strong> city of Aosta in Saint-Pierre. The vineyards -<br />
with perfect, full sou<strong>the</strong>rn exposures - are all situated on <strong>the</strong> left bank of <strong>the</strong> Dora Baltea river<br />
at an altitude which ranges from 650 to 850 meters (2100-2800 feet) above sea level.<br />
The estate was founded in 1997 due to <strong>the</strong> ef<strong>for</strong>ts and ambition of Maurizio Fiorno, but its true<br />
origins derive from <strong>the</strong> viticultural traditions established by grandfa<strong>the</strong>r Tinet, who began<br />
making wine <strong>for</strong> family consumption and <strong>for</strong> his friends. The expansion and <strong>the</strong> replanting of <strong>the</strong> vineyards has increased <strong>the</strong> vineyard<br />
surface from 5000 to 30,000 square meters, all recently planted. The cellars have been newly equipped and expanded in order<br />
to give <strong>the</strong> technical support necessary <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> production of high level wines. A structure which allows <strong>the</strong> producer to bring out<br />
all of <strong>the</strong> character and personality of <strong>the</strong> wines, which are born in a unique territory with a unique climate, impossible to copy<br />
or imitate.<br />

S.Stefano Belbo (Cuneo) - CASCINA GALLETTO<br />
The estate extends over a natural amphi<strong>the</strong>ater in <strong>the</strong> steeply sloping hills of Valdivilla, a characteristic<br />
landscape of this part of Piedmont. The fifteen hectares (37 acres) of vineyards are located at 300-400<br />
meters (1000-1300 feet) above sea level, in white marly soils, very rich in limestone, sand, and sandstone.<br />
Moscato is <strong>the</strong> principal grape variety, but Dolcetto, Barbera, Favorita, Freisa, and Brachetto<br />
are also cultivated.<br />
The estate is a family-run enterprise and operates with a philosophy of full respect <strong>for</strong> tradition, from <strong>the</strong><br />
short Guyot pruning and organic fertilizer to <strong>the</strong> use of Bordeaux mixture (copper and sulphur) and<br />
powdered sulphur <strong>for</strong> protection against vine diseases. The vineyards enjoy a full sou<strong>the</strong>rn exposure and<br />
<strong>the</strong> grapes harvested only when fully mature in order to completely concentrate <strong>the</strong>ir sugars.<br />
Valdivilla has a long history of excellent Moscato and is considered one of <strong>the</strong> finest areas of <strong>the</strong> Moscato d’Asti appellation. Picked into small packing<br />
cases after a careful selection in <strong>the</strong> vineyard, <strong>the</strong> grapes are given a soft pressing and <strong>the</strong> dense and fragrant must fermented in pressure tanks.<br />
As soon as foam begins to appear on <strong>the</strong> surface (a sign of <strong>the</strong> separation of <strong>the</strong> solid from <strong>the</strong> liquid parts), <strong>the</strong> must is filtered to block <strong>the</strong><br />
fermentation. It is conserved at very low temperatures during <strong>the</strong> winter months and, be<strong>for</strong>e each bottling, given a second fermentation to bring<br />
<strong>the</strong> finished wine to 4.5-5° of alcohol and 1.7 atmospheres of pressure in <strong>the</strong> bottle. This method, tried and true and completely effective, has been<br />
used since 1524 and maintains all of <strong>the</strong> fresh and elegant aroma of <strong>the</strong> Moscato grape.<br />

Piemonte<br />
Neive (Cuneo) - FONTANABIANCA<br />
The estate has operated <strong>for</strong> genreations under <strong>the</strong> direction of two families of<br />
cultivators, <strong>the</strong> Pola and <strong>the</strong> Ferro, who now work 12 hectares (30 acres) of<br />
vineyards) in Neive in <strong>the</strong> Barbaresco DOCG. This availability of manpower is<br />
very important, as much careful hand labor is dedicated to <strong>the</strong> vineyard work,<br />
with <strong>the</strong> full awareness that quality in wine must necessarily begin with quality grapes.<br />
Just as in <strong>the</strong> case of many o<strong>the</strong>r viticultural properties, <strong>the</strong> grapes and wine were, in <strong>the</strong> past, sold to larger commercial bottlers.<br />
Then came <strong>the</strong> decision to begin estate bottling and direct sale of <strong>the</strong> bottles with <strong>the</strong> Fontanaianca label, a decision which implied<br />
a new focus on every detail of <strong>the</strong> viticultural and enological aspects of production with <strong>the</strong> assistance of Giuseppe Caviola, one<br />
of Piedmont’s most distinguished consulting winemakers.<br />
The vineyards are located in three different sites, each utilized <strong>for</strong> a different grape variety: Arneis with a sou<strong>the</strong>astern exposure<br />
and Nebbiolo, Dolcetto, and Barbera in an area with a perfect south-southwestern exposure. The cellars have likewise been completely<br />
reconstructed and re-equipped with new fermenting equipment and new casks and barrels <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> aging of <strong>the</strong> wine.<br />

Serralunga d’Alba (Cuneo) - GRIMALDI BRUNA<br />
Over a half-century ago, <strong>the</strong> fa<strong>the</strong>r of <strong>the</strong> current owner began to ferment part<br />
of <strong>the</strong> grapes which he grew at Grinzane Cavour. In time he was joined by his<br />
son, with whose assistance all of <strong>the</strong> grapes began to be fermented. More<br />
recently, Bruna Grimaldi and her husband Franco Fiorano, both trained enologists,<br />
have joined <strong>the</strong> family estate and expanded <strong>the</strong>ir vineyard holdings to eight<br />
hectares (20 acres), acquiring vineyard land in Diano d’Alba, Corneliano, and<br />
Serralunga d’Alba. A working partnership has been established with agronomist Gianpiero Romana and enologist Giusppe Caviola,<br />
both high-level professional consultants, <strong>for</strong> a concrete project of quality wine which fully reflects <strong>the</strong> soil and climate of <strong>the</strong> individual<br />
vineyard plots and varieties.<br />
These are two serious and reflective grower-producers, well aware that quality begins in <strong>the</strong> vineyard, and <strong>for</strong> this reason <strong>the</strong> care<br />
of <strong>the</strong> vines is of top priority <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> estate.<br />

Rovereto di Gavi (Alessandria) - PICOLLO ERNESTO<br />
The estate of Eernesot Picollo is located at an altitude of 260 meters (850<br />
feet) above sea level at Rovereto di Gavi, one of <strong>the</strong> most prestigious parts of<br />
<strong>the</strong> Gavi appellation. Here, several centuries ago, <strong>the</strong> cultivation of <strong>the</strong><br />
Cortese grape began and, with it, <strong>the</strong> production of fine white wine. A wine<br />
from a native variety which, in 1974, was awarded DOC status and, in 1998, DOCG status.<br />
The appellation rules honor <strong>the</strong> tradition of this micro-area by allowing producers to write on <strong>the</strong> label: “Gavi from <strong>the</strong> township<br />
of Gavi-Rovereto”, an important recognition <strong>for</strong> this cru.<br />
The working methods of <strong>the</strong> estate are based on a full respect <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> traditions of <strong>the</strong> zone and <strong>the</strong> conviction that fine wine<br />
must be made from superior grapes. The current vineyards surface is eight hectares (20 acres) and <strong>the</strong> vineyards are prevalently<br />
exposed to <strong>the</strong> south. The vineyard is cultivated with traditional methods which exclude <strong>the</strong> use of herbicides. The presence of<br />
son Lorenzo in <strong>the</strong> working team of <strong>the</strong> estate is an excellent guarantee of continuity in <strong>the</strong>se traditions.<br />

Casteggio (Pavia) - LE FRACCE<br />
The history of <strong>the</strong> Fracce estate is all of a piece with <strong>the</strong> personal history Fernando Bussolera,<br />
an attorney who, following in his fa<strong>the</strong>r’s footsteps, anticipated many of <strong>the</strong> ideas of today’s<br />
environmentalists: complete respect <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> environment and full and natural use of local<br />
resources and <strong>the</strong> soil. The Bussolera-Branca foundation, created to stimulate <strong>the</strong> development<br />
and diffusion of research, science, technology, and professional <strong>for</strong>mation in <strong>the</strong> field of enology,<br />
testify to his enduring link to his native OIltrepò Pavese.<br />
The structure and characteristics of <strong>the</strong> various soils is reflected in <strong>the</strong> location of <strong>the</strong> estate’s<br />
various grape varieties, all planted in soils which have been studied to bring out all of <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
expressiveness: calcareous clays <strong>for</strong> such white grapes as Riesling and Pinot Grigio, clay-rich sands <strong>for</strong> such local red grape varieties<br />
as Croatina, Barbera, and Uva Rara. This working system gives wines of character and personality, each an expression of harmony<br />
between grape and soil. The current working structure of <strong>the</strong> property has been entrusted to winemaker Roberto Gerbino, and<br />
is <strong>the</strong> conclusion of a process of re-organization begun in <strong>the</strong> 1980’s with <strong>the</strong> restructuring of <strong>the</strong> cellars, <strong>the</strong> purchase of new<br />
equipment and <strong>the</strong> most up-to-date technology, and <strong>the</strong> introduction of highly professional cultivation techniques utilized in <strong>the</strong><br />
vineyards.<br />

Vittorio Veneto (Treviso) - ALTHE’A<br />
Surrounded by a lovely landscape, <strong>the</strong> Rude Confin estate - <strong>the</strong> place where Al<strong>the</strong>a grows<br />
its Prosecco grapes - extends <strong>for</strong> over 25 acres (10 hectares) in <strong>the</strong> township of Vittorio<br />
Veneto. The property is in <strong>the</strong> far western part of a natural amphi<strong>the</strong>atre of hills, carved<br />
out of <strong>the</strong> landscape by <strong>the</strong> glaciers which, as <strong>the</strong>y moved slowly southwards, transported<br />
sediments of calcareous rock from <strong>the</strong> Dolomite mountains. It is considered an area of major potential <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> production of such wines<br />
as “Prosecco di Conegliano-Valdobbiadene” e “Prosecco dei Colli di Conegliano”.<br />
The family tradition of <strong>the</strong> Drusians in <strong>the</strong> cultivation and fermentation of Prosecco is linked to this territory <strong>for</strong> generations. And to this<br />
precious experience of vineyard work <strong>the</strong>y can add a modern cellar where <strong>the</strong> high level grapes, produced from low-yielding vineyards<br />
and with a careful selection during <strong>the</strong> harvest, are fermented to bring out all of <strong>the</strong>ir finest qualities and <strong>the</strong>n turned into sparkling wine.<br />
These pleasurable and versatile sparkling wines, produced from grapes of real character and personality, are enjoyable in any moment, with<br />
company and during <strong>the</strong> tradition of <strong>the</strong> “glass of wine” of <strong>the</strong> taverns and bistrots of <strong>the</strong> Veneto region in Italy’s nor<strong>the</strong>ast. Part of a long<br />
history of convivial drinking and friendship which is an essential part of <strong>the</strong> local culture.<br />

Soave (Verona) - COFFELE<br />
Behind <strong>the</strong> doors of <strong>the</strong> old palaces of Soave, <strong>the</strong>re is always a hospitable welcome <strong>for</strong> visitors<br />
and guests. The solid traditions of this territory live in <strong>the</strong> monuments constructed<br />
over time and in <strong>the</strong> gestures of daily life, which reassume <strong>the</strong> age-old culture of <strong>the</strong><br />
cultivation of <strong>the</strong> vine.<br />
These traditions are deeply felt by <strong>the</strong> Coffele, and <strong>the</strong> foundation of <strong>the</strong> estate marks <strong>the</strong><br />
recovery of an historic patrimony, that of <strong>the</strong> Visco family. Giuseppe Coffele and Giovanna<br />
Visco have given new life to <strong>the</strong> family land and property after a thirty year hiatus in which<br />
<strong>the</strong> grapes were not fermented. Fifteen years of hard work were necessary to restore <strong>the</strong><br />
calcareous soils to active life and install complex infrastructures <strong>for</strong> automatic fertilizing and irrigation. New vineyards have been<br />
planted with <strong>the</strong> maximum attention to root stocks and to <strong>the</strong> genetic quality of <strong>the</strong> vines. The innovative approach of <strong>the</strong> Coffele<br />
is felt in various ways: clonal selections, combinations of various types of <strong>the</strong> same grapes in <strong>the</strong> blends, <strong>the</strong> search <strong>for</strong> a new harmony<br />
and balance between <strong>the</strong> varieties which have been chosen. All of this can be tasted in a quiet corner of <strong>the</strong> historic city center of<br />
Soave where <strong>the</strong> estate is headquartered, a dynamic reality with 25 hectares (over 60 acres) of vineyards planted to Garganega,<br />
Trebbiano di Soave, and in smaller quantities, Chardonnay and Sauvignon.<br />

Roncadelle di Ormelle (Treviso) - NARDIN WALTER<br />
The estate was founded in 1922 by Vittorio Nardin at Roncadelle, a small town in <strong>the</strong> province of<br />
Treviso in Italy’s nor<strong>the</strong>ast. In 1971, upon <strong>the</strong> death of his fa<strong>the</strong>r, Walter Nardin, eighteen years old<br />
at <strong>the</strong> time, assumed an active role in <strong>the</strong> running of <strong>the</strong> property and, with his uncles, contributed<br />
to <strong>the</strong> creation to a new higher quality and greater visibility of <strong>the</strong> wines – DOC “Piave” and DOC<br />
“Lison Pramaggiore” – in national and European markets.<br />
A part of <strong>the</strong> proprietary vineyards are located at Roncadelle in <strong>the</strong> Piave appellation, where classic<br />
white wines, noted <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir aroma and balance, and red wines, equally well known <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir fruit and<br />
pleasurableness, are produced. The o<strong>the</strong>r vineyards are in <strong>the</strong> Lison-Pramaggiore appellation, where<br />
<strong>the</strong> soil and micro-climate contribute to wines of finesse and fragrance.This is an ample product line with wines of real value.<br />

Valgatara di Marano in Valpolicella (Verona) - VAONA<br />
The Vaona estate is located in <strong>the</strong> township of Marano, in Paterno of Valgatara to be precise, an historic<br />
center of production of Valpolicella wines. The Vaona family, grower-producers <strong>for</strong> generations, have<br />
ownned <strong>the</strong> property <strong>for</strong> many years, since 1931 when Francesco Vaona purchased it. The ten proprietary<br />
hectares (25 acre) contain eight hectares (20 acres) of vineyards and five acres of olive and cherry groves.<br />
The cellars, which have been rebuilt and reorganized to make <strong>the</strong>m as functional as possible, use <strong>the</strong> <strong>for</strong>ce<br />
of gravity during <strong>the</strong> various phases of <strong>the</strong> trans<strong>for</strong>mation of <strong>the</strong> grapes into wine in order to avoid<br />
pumping and to respect, to <strong>the</strong> maximum extent, <strong>the</strong> integrity of <strong>the</strong> fruit.<br />
Above and beyond <strong>the</strong> cellar work, much attention – in particular a constant control of <strong>the</strong> healthiness<br />
of <strong>the</strong> grapes and a rigorous respect <strong>for</strong> sound ecological principles - is given to <strong>the</strong> vineyards during <strong>the</strong> entire growing season, from<br />
<strong>the</strong> winter pruning, aiming at a low production of grapes, to <strong>the</strong> summer bunch thinning to maximize ventilation among <strong>the</strong> vines and<br />
full exposure of <strong>the</strong> grape bunches to <strong>the</strong> sunlight. Cover crops enrich <strong>the</strong> vineyard and eliminate <strong>the</strong> use of chemical fertilizers. The<br />
vines are trained to <strong>the</strong> traditional pergolas of Verona and to a classic Guyot system, with vine densities of 3500 plants per hectare (1400<br />
vines per acre). Ample, dry, and well ventilated indoor spaces are utilized <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> drying of <strong>the</strong> grapes on <strong>the</strong> traditional arele, or reed<br />
mats, of <strong>the</strong> zone, grapes which are used <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> estate’s Valpolicella Classico Superiore, Amarone and Recioto della Valpolicella.<br />

Friuli Venezia Giulia<br />
Brazzano di Cormòns (Gorizia) - BORGO DEL TIGLIO<br />
Nicola Manferrari produces, since 1981, wines from three hillside vineyards parcels in <strong>the</strong> Collio DOC<br />
in Italy’s Friuli region.<br />
The Collio area is a string of hills from <strong>the</strong> Eocene epoch in <strong>the</strong> easternmost part of nor<strong>the</strong>rn Italy. The<br />
soil consists of decomposed marls and sandstone. The zone is no more than 12 miles (20 kilometers)<br />
from <strong>the</strong> Adriatic Sea, from which it is separated by a short strip of plain, and approximately 20 miles<br />
(30 kilometers) from <strong>the</strong> first peaks of <strong>the</strong> Alpine chain. There are importance climatic differences between <strong>the</strong> vineyards which face <strong>the</strong> Alps and<br />
those which face <strong>the</strong> sea, and <strong>the</strong> soils are equally different as well. To bring out as much as possible <strong>the</strong> specific character of <strong>the</strong> single vineyard parcels<br />
<strong>the</strong> policy, since <strong>the</strong> very beginning, has been to ferment <strong>the</strong>ir grapes completely separately. To facilitate this work <strong>the</strong> cellars have been<br />
restructured and operate on four different levels, <strong>the</strong> wines moved from <strong>the</strong> higher to <strong>the</strong> lower parts entirely by <strong>the</strong> flow of gravity.<br />
At Brazzano, <strong>the</strong> ten acres (four hectares) of vineyards face southwest and enjoy a warm climate. Here <strong>the</strong> grapes which are cultivated are, <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
red wines, Merlot and Cabernet, and, <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> whites, Tocai and Malvasia, and <strong>the</strong>y are used <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> estate’s two crus, “Ronco della Chiesa” and “Rosso<br />
della Centa”. The 12.5 acre (five hectare) Ca’ delle Ballade vineyards, with a sou<strong>the</strong>astern exposure, sunny but cool and swept by winds from <strong>the</strong><br />
nor<strong>the</strong>ast, has an acid and somewhat unfertile soil. It has been planted exclusively to Chardonnay. The six acre (2.5 hectare) Ruttars vineyards, with<br />
typical Collio soils in which calcareous rock often appears on <strong>the</strong> surface, faces sou<strong>the</strong>ast and is cool in its climate. Its wines are decisively full and<br />
long. Borgo del Tiglio produces principally white wines, of great complexity and balance and fine aging ability.<br />

MILLEUVE<br />
Produced from lots which have been kept entire separate, <strong>the</strong> principal wines of Borgo del Tiglio are a selection of various<br />
barrels chosen <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir ability to give character, balance, and complexity to <strong>the</strong> individual wines. All of <strong>the</strong> wine which, <strong>for</strong><br />
practical reasons, has not been kept separate and which remains after <strong>the</strong> various selections have been made is utilized <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
Milleuve Bianco cuvée. Unlike <strong>the</strong> major wines, Milleuve is a blend which does not reflect <strong>the</strong> specific and inimitable character<br />
of <strong>the</strong> various vineyard parcels of <strong>the</strong> estate.<br />
Milleuve Rosso, instead, is a cuvée produced from <strong>the</strong> Sangiovese and Montepulciano grapes grown at <strong>the</strong> “Contrada Tenna”<br />
estate in <strong>the</strong> Marches, acquired in 2001.<br />

CONTRADA TENNA - Rapagnano (Ascoli Piceno)<br />
During a trip in <strong>the</strong> Marches, Nicola Manferrari was strongly impressed by <strong>the</strong> beauty of <strong>the</strong> spot and its Montepulciano grape, not so much <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
attractive qualities as <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> defects in <strong>the</strong> wines. A wine so dense and rich in color should have been, and could have been in his opinion, a wine<br />
of some elegance as well. For him it was though he were to turn <strong>the</strong> clock backward, to accept ano<strong>the</strong>r challenge such as that confronted with<br />
Tocai: to turn size into finesse, violence into <strong>for</strong>ce. In February 2001, a 20 acre (8 hectare) vineyard which had been completely abandoned became<br />
Manferrari’s property and, with <strong>the</strong> assistance of <strong>the</strong> men who had planted it, he succeeded in bringing it back to vigorous life.<br />
The first small production of grapes was in 2002. Today, completely revitalized, it consists, <strong>for</strong> more than two thirds of its surface, of vines with over<br />
<strong>for</strong>ty years of age.<br />
A passion <strong>for</strong> Sangiovese, instead, was slower to grow. Manferrari was perhaps influenced by <strong>the</strong> inhabitants of <strong>the</strong> region, who give little importance<br />
to this grape variety, whose wines, less interesting when young, become elegant and aristocratic with age. The aim is to produce, even in <strong>the</strong><br />
Marches, a Sangiovese of finesse and complexity, on <strong>the</strong> example of fine Sangiovese wines from o<strong>the</strong>r areas of Italy.<br />
Although <strong>the</strong> wines could be marketed with <strong>the</strong> DOC Rosso Piceno appellation, <strong>the</strong> estate has chosen to label <strong>the</strong>m IGT Marche.<br />

Cormons (Gorizia) - BORGO SAVAIAN<br />
A rural hamlet full of active, simple, and helpful people, always read to give you a hand.<br />
Here <strong>the</strong> human dimension has been preserved, and daily life passes in a climate of<br />
calm and tranquillity from generation to generation, following <strong>the</strong> rhythm of <strong>the</strong> seasons<br />
and <strong>the</strong> events of nature.<br />
And here <strong>the</strong> Bastiani family estate was born, Borgo Saviani. Borgo Savaian works eleven hectares (27 acres) of vineyards on <strong>the</strong><br />
slopes of Mount Quarin, where <strong>the</strong> calcareous clay marls and sandstone merge into <strong>the</strong> gravels of <strong>the</strong> Isonzo river plain. These<br />
are soils long famous <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> cultivation of <strong>the</strong> vine and give grapes naturally rich in sugar: perfumed and aromatic in <strong>the</strong> case of<br />
white grapes, structured and colored in <strong>the</strong> case of red grapes, whose wines attain a fur<strong>the</strong>r harmony through aging in oak casks.<br />
The vineyards are partially trained to <strong>the</strong> traditional systems of <strong>the</strong> zone, with 3000 vines per hectare (1200 per acre) and partially<br />
– <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> newer vineyards – to a classic Guyot system with 5000 vines per hectare (2000 per acre). The new vineyards, which allow<br />
<strong>the</strong> estate to produce smaller quantities of grapes per vine, given <strong>the</strong> greater number of vines per hectare and acre, are an important<br />
factor <strong>for</strong> higher quality in <strong>the</strong> wines.<br />

Friuli Venezia Giulia<br />
Nimis (Udine) - RONCO VIERI<br />
In <strong>the</strong> dialect of Friuli, Ronc indicates <strong>the</strong> summit of a hill, <strong>the</strong> part where<br />
woods begin to leave space <strong>for</strong> underbrush. The “ronc” was <strong>the</strong> place where,<br />
once upon a time, <strong>the</strong> local population went with <strong>the</strong> “roncola” or pruning<br />
knife, to cut <strong>the</strong> underbrush and prepare bundles of wood to be burnt in <strong>the</strong><br />
family fireplace. Ronco Vierei, in Friuli, simply means “<strong>the</strong> old ‘ronc’”, <strong>the</strong> peak<br />
of <strong>the</strong> hill. In <strong>the</strong> area of Ramandolo it is <strong>the</strong> loveliest site of all, <strong>the</strong> sunniest,<br />
<strong>the</strong> most suited to <strong>the</strong> cultivation of <strong>the</strong> vine. Those who climb to <strong>the</strong> top of <strong>the</strong> hill of Ramandolo where a small church is located<br />
can admire <strong>the</strong> Ronco Vierei vineyards from <strong>the</strong> square in front of <strong>the</strong> church. The soil, from <strong>the</strong> Eocene epoch, is of volcanic and<br />
marine origin: red clays, compact and rich in iron and o<strong>the</strong>r micro-elements.<br />

Ortovero (Savona) - DURIN<br />
The estate takes its name from gradnfa<strong>the</strong>r Isidoro, whose nickname – “Doro” – was trans<strong>for</strong>med in <strong>the</strong> local<br />
dialect to “Durin”. The property has belonged to <strong>the</strong> family <strong>for</strong> generations and consists of a series of<br />
terraces planted to vineyards and olive groves.<br />
Cultivation methods changed radically at <strong>the</strong> end of <strong>the</strong> 1970’s when <strong>the</strong> estate abandoned mixed-cultivation<br />
agriculture and began <strong>the</strong> specialized cultivation of grapes and olives. Since <strong>the</strong> end of <strong>the</strong> 1990’s Antonio<br />
Basso and his wife Laura have purchased, in a series of small parcels, seven new hectares (17 acres) of land<br />
<strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> planting of new vineyards and olive groves, and <strong>the</strong> replanting utilizes local varieties present in old vineyards,<br />
low yielding and, precisely <strong>for</strong> that reason, suited <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> production of high quality wines. The patient and painstaking work of<br />
replanting proceeds on a step by step basis and, toge<strong>the</strong>r with scrupulous cellar work, give that extra touch which could simply<br />
be defined as dedication in complete symbiosis with passion <strong>for</strong> wine. The valley of Ortovero, considered <strong>the</strong> cradle of <strong>the</strong> Pigato grape,<br />
whose influence is felt along with that of <strong>the</strong> nearby sea, gives white wines of great freshness and aromatic complexity.<br />
And important temperature swings, produced by <strong>the</strong> contrast between daytime heat and evening and nighttime coolness created<br />
by breezes which sweep down from <strong>the</strong> Apennine chain behind <strong>the</strong> terraced hillsides, give red wines of elegance and structure.<br />

La Spezia - GIUMIN<br />
The Giumin estate produces <strong>the</strong> most famous wine of Liguria. It is made from three native<br />
grape varieties with a long history in <strong>the</strong> region: Bosco, Albarola, and Vermentino.<br />
The nature of <strong>the</strong> site is astonishing: breathtaking and an impossible challenge. The sight<br />
of <strong>the</strong> vine terraces which slope from <strong>the</strong> top of <strong>the</strong> hill almost to <strong>the</strong> edge of <strong>the</strong> sea<br />
itself, as though <strong>the</strong> vines wished to throw <strong>the</strong>mselves into <strong>the</strong> Mediterranean, testify to<br />
<strong>the</strong> difficulties involved in working <strong>the</strong>se hillsides. All of <strong>the</strong> vineyard operations are done<br />
entirely by hand, and, given <strong>the</strong> low height of <strong>the</strong> typical vine trellises, <strong>the</strong> various phases of <strong>the</strong> work are done while working on<br />
one’s knees: caring <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> vines, weeding <strong>the</strong> soil, hoeing, and so <strong>for</strong>th. The zone itself is very windy, and this explains <strong>the</strong> trellising<br />
structure, low and square, created to protect <strong>the</strong> vineyards from <strong>the</strong> wind off <strong>the</strong> sea.<br />

Emilia Romagna<br />
Modena - SPECI.AL<br />
The true balsamic vineyard of Modena is produced in <strong>the</strong> historic dominions of <strong>the</strong> d’Este family.<br />
According to chronicles, Francesco IV d’Este, who wished to make a precious gift to Metternich, gave<br />
him <strong>the</strong> most prestigious product of his domain, balsamic vineyard.<br />
The production of this vinegar, thus, is an integral part of <strong>the</strong> culture and traditions of <strong>the</strong> people of<br />
Modena: it is, in fact, derived from <strong>the</strong> cooked must of <strong>the</strong> local Trebbiano and Lambrusco grapes. The<br />
vineyards of <strong>the</strong>se varieties find <strong>the</strong>ir natural habitat in <strong>the</strong> area between <strong>the</strong> Secchia and Panaro rivers,<br />
and it is this geographical fact which ties, indissolubly, balsamic vinegar to Modena and its province. The<br />
vinegar plant of Master Antonio, <strong>the</strong> source of this nectar, goes all <strong>the</strong> way back to <strong>the</strong> years between<br />
<strong>the</strong> late 19th and early 20th centuries. It is composed of over 25000 barrels placed in an old edifice in <strong>the</strong> countryside, virtually<br />
at <strong>the</strong> very gates of Modena and surrounded by vineyards and fruit orchards. Here <strong>the</strong> air is naturally full of yeasts and bacteria,<br />
<strong>the</strong> agents <strong>for</strong> trans<strong>for</strong>ming must into vinegar. The aging of this type of vinegar requires an important investment of time, patience,<br />
and commitment, because only time, <strong>the</strong> maximum application to <strong>the</strong> work, and <strong>the</strong> proper environment and wood <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> barrels<br />
can yield a natural product with a true and refined character and personality.<br />

Monte San Pietro (Bologna) - TENUTA BONZARA<br />
Tenuta Bonzara’s 100 hectares (250 acres) of proprietary land, 40 of which are<br />
planted to vineyards, are located in <strong>the</strong> splendid setting of San Chiurlo in <strong>the</strong><br />
heart of <strong>the</strong> Colli Bolognesi appellation. Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot<br />
Bianco, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and <strong>the</strong> local Pignoletto, <strong>the</strong> classic varieties<br />
of <strong>the</strong> zone, are cultivated at an average altitude of 400 meters (1300 feet) above sea level on hillsides – part of <strong>the</strong> Apennine<br />
chain which divides Tuscany from Emilia - which slope gently towards <strong>the</strong> city of Bologna.<br />
Great emphasis is placed on <strong>the</strong> proper cultivation of <strong>the</strong> vineyards with <strong>the</strong> credo that fine wine is born in <strong>the</strong> vineyard, and<br />
yields are calibrated – sacrificing quantity – to achieve true quality by short winter pruning and bunch thinning in <strong>the</strong> summer. The<br />
cellars utilize time-tested techniques of fermentation and aging to bring out all <strong>the</strong> character, <strong>the</strong> aromas and flavors, of <strong>the</strong> varieties<br />
which are cultivated.<br />
The first estate wines to be bottled and <strong>the</strong> first labels date <strong>for</strong>m 1970 and can be credited to <strong>the</strong> work of Angelo Lambertini,<br />
who purchased <strong>the</strong> property in 1963. In 1985, upon his death, his son Francesco Lambertini, already on <strong>the</strong> Economics Faculty of<br />
<strong>the</strong> University of Bologna, decided to continue his fa<strong>the</strong>r’s work. In <strong>the</strong> 1993 <strong>the</strong> enological consultancy was entrusted to Vittorio<br />
Fiore and Stefano Chioccioli, who have been succeeded in recent years by Lorenzo Landi, ano<strong>the</strong>r highly esteemed consultant.<br />

Toscana<br />
Suvereto (Livorno) - AMBROSINI<br />
This family-run estate was founded in 1955 when Gabriele Ambrosiani first set foot in Suvereto<br />
in <strong>the</strong> Val di Cornia on <strong>the</strong> Tuscan coast, an area with a long history of cultivation of <strong>the</strong> vine,<br />
arriving from <strong>the</strong> Abruzzo region on <strong>the</strong> Adriatic Sea from which he brought its native<br />
Montepulciano grape.<br />
In 1991 an important change took place: Lorella Ambrosini, Gabriele Ambrosini’s daughter, decided<br />
to take charge of operations and, with a new commitment in <strong>the</strong> vineyards and <strong>the</strong> cellars, to<br />
achieve wines which could be bottled at <strong>the</strong> estate and compete on important markets.<br />
The ten hectares (25 acres) of vineyards currently planted are cultivated, <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> most part, with traditional varieties, even if, more<br />
recently, new varieties have also been added in order to exploit <strong>the</strong> full potential of <strong>the</strong> Val di Cornia; new plantings are at a density<br />
of 5000-7000 vines per hectare (2000-2800 per acre) and are pruned to a cordon system. The local micro-climate is strongly<br />
influenced by <strong>the</strong> nearby sea, and <strong>the</strong> vineyard land, proteetcted from cooler north winds by <strong>the</strong> hill of Suvereto, enjoys excellent<br />
drainage due to <strong>the</strong>ir permeable soils of sandy clay. The also warm up easily during <strong>the</strong> day, even in cool periods.<br />

Capraia e Limite (Firenze) - ENRICO PIERAZZUOLI, TENUTA CANTAGALLO<br />
Tenuta Cantagallo has belonged to <strong>the</strong> Pierazzuoli family since 1970; <strong>the</strong> grandfa<strong>the</strong>r<br />
of <strong>the</strong> current generation of owners was <strong>the</strong> first to be involved in <strong>the</strong><br />
running of <strong>the</strong> property, but he transmitted his love <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> countryside and <strong>the</strong><br />
culture of its cultivators to his grandchildren.<br />
His grandson Enrico, in fact, since <strong>the</strong> early 1990’s, has given a new vitality to <strong>the</strong><br />
estate, abandoning <strong>the</strong> sale of bulk wine and orienting <strong>the</strong> production towards higher levels of quality.<br />
Over time, Enrico’s wife Monia and his siblings Enrica, Serna, and Dario have joined him at Tenuta Cantagallo, adding to <strong>the</strong> estate’s<br />
line of wines and olive oil o<strong>the</strong>r products such as vegetables preserved under olive oil and jams. And this to evidence ano<strong>the</strong>r local<br />
tradition, that of preserved fruits and vegetables, brought to a new level of excellence in <strong>the</strong> case of <strong>the</strong> <strong>for</strong>mer with <strong>the</strong> aid and assistance<br />
of <strong>the</strong> Cantagallo olive oil. Ano<strong>the</strong>r part of <strong>the</strong> project of giving new lustre to <strong>the</strong> zone of Montalbano, and to Chianti Montalbano,<br />
too often <strong>for</strong>gotten in discussions of Tuscan wine, consists of <strong>the</strong> welcome extended to visitors and tourists with <strong>guide</strong>d tours of<br />
<strong>the</strong> cellars, evenings with <strong>the</strong> food and wine of <strong>the</strong> zone, and rooms <strong>for</strong> those who wish to remain in <strong>the</strong> area and need facilities<br />
where <strong>the</strong>y can spend <strong>the</strong> night.<br />
In 1995 <strong>the</strong> Tenuta Farnete was acquired in Carmignano, one of <strong>the</strong> four areas identified as producing Tuscany’s finest wines in <strong>the</strong><br />
Granducal Edict of 1716, emitted by Cosimo de’Medici. This was not a casual decision on <strong>the</strong> part of <strong>the</strong> family, but a precise choice:<br />
that of producing wines from <strong>the</strong> same grape varieties but with distinctive characteristics due to <strong>the</strong> differences between <strong>the</strong>ir two<br />
production zones, both DOCG appellations: <strong>the</strong> first on <strong>the</strong> western slopes of Montalbano, where <strong>the</strong> hills, sandstone and clay in<br />
composition, descend towards <strong>the</strong> Valdarno between Florence and Pisa, and <strong>the</strong> second on <strong>the</strong> opposite side of <strong>the</strong> Montalbano hills,<br />
with hard limestone rock in <strong>the</strong> soil. In both areas <strong>the</strong> estate’s motto which dictates <strong>the</strong> production rules - “ no more than one bottle<br />
of wine per plant” – is scrupulously adhered to, with a production of no more than a kilogram of grapes per vine.<br />

Toscana<br />
Carmignano (Prato) - ENRICO PIERAZZUOLI, TENUTA LE FARNETE<br />
Tenuta Le Farente extends over a series of terraced vineyards and olive groves on <strong>the</strong><br />
western side of Montalbano: 50 total hectares of property (over 120 acres), eight of which<br />
(20 acres) are planted to high-density vineyards in an historic area of production of<br />
high quality Tuscan wine.<br />
In 1716 Grand Duke Cosimo III de’Medici promulgated first a decree and <strong>the</strong>n a proclamation<br />
in which he identified <strong>the</strong> various production zones of his realm and established severe rules<br />
<strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> commerce of wine. This was <strong>the</strong> first historical example of a controlled appellation and<br />
preceded <strong>the</strong> first French appellations by over a century. It also ennobled <strong>the</strong> wines of<br />
Carmignano along with three o<strong>the</strong>r Tuscan wines which were granted similar recognition:<br />
Chianti, Pomino, and <strong>the</strong> upper Arno valley.<br />
The intense ties which linked <strong>the</strong> Medici to <strong>the</strong> territory of Carmignano are demonstrated, in addition to <strong>the</strong> villas which <strong>the</strong>y<br />
constructed to pass <strong>the</strong> summer months and <strong>the</strong>ir free time to relaxation and hunting, by <strong>the</strong> presence in <strong>the</strong> vineyards of<br />
Cabernet Sauvignon. It is often recounted that this grape variety was brought to <strong>the</strong>se hills by Ca<strong>the</strong>rine de’Medici<br />
after she became queen of France in <strong>the</strong> 16th century. And this can be confirmed by <strong>the</strong> name of uva francesca, or “French<br />
grape”, widely used by <strong>the</strong> older cultivators and producers of <strong>the</strong> zone, a descriptive phrase which indicates that <strong>the</strong> first vines<br />
were imported to <strong>the</strong> Carmignano area <strong>for</strong>m France.<br />
These hills are well spaced, luminous and well ventilated, full of limestone rock which is not dissimilar <strong>for</strong>m that found in <strong>the</strong> soils<br />
of Bordeaux.<br />
When <strong>the</strong> Pierazzuoli family became <strong>the</strong> owners of <strong>the</strong> estate in 1995 <strong>the</strong> property was in a state of virtually total abandon. The<br />
decision to aim at wines of greater quality and personality became a concrete reality with <strong>the</strong> planting of new vineyards with selected<br />
clones of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon and with <strong>the</strong> construction of new cellars.<br />

Toscana<br />
San Casciano Val di Pesa (Firenze) - FATTORIA POGGIOPIANO<br />
The estate is located atop a hill in <strong>the</strong> countryside of San Casciano Val di Pesa near Florence,<br />
at an altitude of 300 meters (1000 feet) above sea level.<br />
Current vineyards cover a total surface of some twenty hectares (50 acres). The property was<br />
purchased by <strong>the</strong> Bartoli family in 1993 in a state of near abandonment, and began to make a<br />
name <strong>for</strong> itself almost immediately with distinctive wines based not only on Sangiovese but<br />
on such interesting native Tuscan grapes such as Colorino.<br />
Utilizing <strong>the</strong> most up-to-date methods of cultivation and recovering older cellar equipment<br />
such as concrete fermenting tanks, <strong>the</strong> estate has staked its bets on <strong>the</strong> highest possible<br />
quality in its wines, taking into account contemporary concepts of taste but seeking, above all, to express <strong>the</strong> character of its own<br />
soil and micro-climate. Poggiopiano’s wines are elegant, structured, and long-lasting, but above all with an unmistakeable personality,<br />
an identity of <strong>the</strong>ir own.<br />
This has been <strong>the</strong> objective of <strong>the</strong> Bartoli bro<strong>the</strong>rs from <strong>the</strong> very start, one which has been pursued with constancy and proud<br />
determination and which, in our opinion, represents <strong>the</strong> most striking characteristic and <strong>the</strong> point of <strong>for</strong>ce of <strong>the</strong> estate.<br />

Toscana<br />
Montalcino (Siena) - FULIGNI<br />
The Fuligni viscounts, a family of Venetian origin, moved to England in <strong>the</strong> 15th century. With <strong>the</strong> accession<br />
to <strong>the</strong> throne of Tuscany of <strong>the</strong> Hapsburg Dukes of Lorraine, Luigi Fuligni moved to Tuscany as a<br />
general of <strong>the</strong> new sovereign. Around 1770, he was granted sizeable holdings in <strong>the</strong> Tuscan <strong>Mare</strong>mma by<br />
Grand Duke Pietro Leopoldo, and proceeded to clear and drain <strong>the</strong>m. Giovanni Maria Fuligni became a<br />
resident of Montalcino in <strong>the</strong> early 20th century and began producing wine, as he had previously done<br />
in <strong>the</strong> <strong>Mare</strong>mma, particularly in <strong>the</strong> area around Scansano.<br />
The estate, directed by Dr. Maria Flora Fuligni, consists of some 250 acres (100 hectares) of land with<br />
various exposures. The 27 acres (11 hectares) of vineyards are located principally in a place known as<br />
“I Cottimeli”, at altitudes which range from 380 to 450 meters (1300 -1500 feet) above sea level on <strong>the</strong><br />
eastern side of <strong>the</strong> hill of Montalcino, a classic area <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> production of Brunello di Montalcino. Here<br />
<strong>the</strong> soil of <strong>the</strong> vineyards, with a predominantly eastern exposure, is part of a geological <strong>for</strong>mation known as Santa Flora, a series<br />
of calcareous clay schists dating from <strong>the</strong> Eocene epoch. The soil is quite stony. More recent plantings have a sou<strong>the</strong>astern<br />
exposure on soils which mix clay and tufa. The vines are trained to a classic cordon system, bilateral in this case, pruned<br />
to a small number of buds per plant and with vine densities which range from 3300 to 5000 vines per hectare (1350-2000<br />
per acre). A “green harvest”, with a significant thinning of <strong>the</strong> bunches on <strong>the</strong> vine, is carried in order to limit yields to an average<br />
of 5-5.5 tons per hectare (2-2.2 per acre).The harvest is entirely by hand with <strong>the</strong> personal involvement of <strong>the</strong> owners in order<br />
to guarantee a rigorous selection of <strong>the</strong> grapes and a series of successive passages through <strong>the</strong> rows to identify only perfectly<br />
ripe bunches.<br />
The grapes of <strong>the</strong> various vineyards are fermented and aged separately according to <strong>the</strong>ir soil and exposure and only later assembled<br />
in <strong>the</strong> cellars and selected <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> various wines in <strong>the</strong> line: Rosso di Montalcino, Brunello di Montalcino, Brunello di Montalcino<br />
Riserva. More recent vineyards, given <strong>the</strong> legal limits to <strong>the</strong> production of Brunello di Montalcino, are used <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> wine known as<br />
San Jacopo (S.J.).<br />
All <strong>the</strong> wines have an easily identifiable style, one of restraint and elegance.<br />

Montepulciano (Siena) - GODIOLO<br />
The estate is located at some 1300 feet (400 meters) above sea level in <strong>the</strong> sou<strong>the</strong>rn<br />
part of <strong>the</strong> township of Montepulciano, a city whose origins can be traced back to<br />
Etruscans, <strong>the</strong>mselves cultivators of <strong>the</strong> vine and makers of wine.<br />
Restoration work in <strong>the</strong> building industry, <strong>the</strong> principal activity of <strong>the</strong> Fiorini family, created<br />
<strong>the</strong> capital <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> acquisition, in <strong>the</strong> early 1990’s, of additional land which bro<strong>the</strong>rs Fabio<br />
and Franco Fiorini joined to <strong>the</strong>ir Podere Godiolo property. A tradition of wine production<br />
has long been part of <strong>the</strong> family’s cultural patrimony, but <strong>the</strong> new program of quality wine<br />
began with Franco Fiorini, completely self-taught in his approach both to <strong>the</strong> vineyard and <strong>the</strong> cellar work.<br />
The first wines to be bottled were <strong>the</strong> 2000 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and <strong>the</strong> 2003 Rosso di Montepulciano.<br />
The estate consists of some 13 acres (5.5 hectares) of vineyards, six of which planted to old clones of Prugnolo Gentile, Canaiolo,<br />
and Mammolo with over <strong>for</strong>ty years of age, and seven (3 hectares) planted more recently with <strong>the</strong> finest clones of Sangiovese,<br />
favoring low production over higher yields. The presence of Malvasia and Trebbianino, loclly known as Pulcencolo” gives a unique<br />
character to <strong>the</strong> Godiolo Vin Santo.<br />

San Gimignano (Siena) - IL PALAGIONE<br />
The “Il Palagione” farm is located amidst <strong>the</strong> hills surrounding San Gimignano on <strong>the</strong> panoramic road<br />
toVolterra in Tuscany. It is a property with a long history of its own, attested to by old documents of <strong>the</strong><br />
bishopric in <strong>the</strong> town archives of Colle Val d’Elsa, documents which demonstrate that it already <strong>the</strong> estate<br />
existed in 1594. The vineyards, which extend over 25 total acres (ten hectares) pf hillsides, are planted<br />
with an eye to <strong>the</strong> different ripening cycles of <strong>the</strong> various grapes which have been chosen: warmer spots<br />
<strong>for</strong> late-ripening varieties such as Sangiovese and Cabernet, cooler ones <strong>for</strong> Vernaccia, Malvasia del Chianti,<br />
Trebbiano Toscano and Merlot in order to give more aroma and freshness to <strong>the</strong> wines. The soil is of marine<br />
origin and is composed of yellow sands and powerful, dark clay with conglomerates of gravel and sea shells;<br />
<strong>the</strong> local climate features cold winters and warm, dry summers with important diurnal temperature swings.<br />
The objective, unchanging from year to year, is <strong>the</strong> production of excellent grapes in order to produce high quality wines which<br />
are a precise expression of <strong>the</strong>ir point of origin. And this working philosophy of owners Giorgio Comotti and his wife Monica<br />
Rota is shared with <strong>the</strong>ir consulting winemaker and friend Paolo Caciorgna.<br />
The names chosen <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> wines reflect Girogio Comotti’s passion <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> stars which preceded his decision to become a<br />
producer of wine, a period when, during excursions in <strong>the</strong> mountains, he passed <strong>the</strong> night till <strong>the</strong> break of dawn to admire, in all<br />
of its nighttime splendour, <strong>the</strong> celestial dome.<br />

Sambuca Val Di Pesa (Firenze) - IL POGGIOLINO<br />
The name “Il Poggiolino” refers to <strong>the</strong> hill – “poggio” in Italian – on which a small farmhouse was<br />
constructed. The house was equipped with fermenting and aging cellars which received <strong>the</strong><br />
grapes <strong>for</strong>m <strong>the</strong> vineyards of <strong>the</strong> steep slopes of <strong>the</strong> hill, terraced to facilitate <strong>the</strong> vineyard work.<br />
Mixed cultivation – grapes interspersed with olive groves and field of grain – provided <strong>the</strong><br />
peasant family which occupied <strong>the</strong> house with all that was necessary as sustenance.<br />
The farmhouse and adjacent land were purchased in 1979 by Maria Grazia Pacini and Carlo<br />
Pacini, who began modifying <strong>the</strong> property, creating new space by trans<strong>for</strong>ming <strong>the</strong> terraces into<br />
wire-trained vineyards in order to fully utilize <strong>the</strong> hillside and create excellent exposures.<br />
The dedication to <strong>the</strong>ir work of <strong>the</strong>se entrepreneurs, along with that of <strong>the</strong>ir technical director Fausto Castellini and consulting<br />
winemaker Attilio Pagli, led to <strong>the</strong> discovery and selection of old clones of Sangiovese, Canaiolo, and Colorino, utilized <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> four<br />
wines which are produced.<br />
The memory of <strong>the</strong> old terraces – “Le Balze” – is maintained in life by a wine which is an important expression of <strong>the</strong> Sangiovese<br />
grape.<br />

TENUTA SAN DONATO - Calenzano (Firenze)<br />
The Tenuta di San Donato, <strong>for</strong> centuries <strong>the</strong> property of <strong>the</strong> Marquis Pancrazi family, is headquartered<br />
in Calenzano, an ancient <strong>for</strong>tified hamlet settled by Etruscans and Romans, very close to <strong>the</strong> country<br />
church of San Donato.<br />
A very large property, it extends over 1325 acres (530 hectares), 37 of which (15 hectares) planted to<br />
vineyards, 225 (90 hectares) to olive groves, and 150 (60 hectares) to wheat. The remaining acreage<br />
consists of woodlands.<br />
The property is a classic large estate of central Tuscany with its Renaissance villa, used <strong>for</strong> summer<br />
vacations by <strong>the</strong> families of <strong>the</strong> Florentine nobility, and an operating center once at <strong>the</strong> service of <strong>the</strong> various sharecroppers who<br />
farmed <strong>the</strong> land, now restructured and modernized to fit <strong>the</strong> needs of a property directly administered by its owners.<br />
A continuous-cycle olive mill (an Alfa Laval) is also present on <strong>the</strong> estate’s grounds, as is an area <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> reproduction of olive trees<br />
<strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> estate’s groves.<br />
The vineyards are situated at an average altitude of 1150 feet (350 meters) above sea level, <strong>the</strong> soil is rich in hard calcareous rock<br />
and of good depth and freshness; its pH is alkaline. The exposure is a fully to <strong>the</strong> south, and <strong>the</strong> vine rows run from north to south<br />
to maximize sunlight and solar radiation.<br />
The estate has, <strong>for</strong> years, been replanting its vineyards, introducing <strong>the</strong> cultivation of Pinot Noir and Gamay, which do very well in<br />
this spot due to <strong>the</strong> important diurnal temperature swings and <strong>the</strong> cool breezes which blow down from <strong>the</strong> Mugello area of nor<strong>the</strong>rn<br />
Tuscany through <strong>the</strong> Croci pass. But native varieties have also received a new attention, with a selection of such native Tuscan grapes<br />
as Colorino and Canaiolo from old clones which are present at <strong>the</strong> estate.<br />

TENUTA DI BAGNOLO - Bagnolo di Montemurlo (Prato)<br />
The estate was created in <strong>the</strong> 16th century by an important Fiorentine family, <strong>the</strong> Strozzi princes, which held it until 1965, when <strong>the</strong> last<br />
heir left it to his nephew, Cristina Morrocchi Pancrazi.<br />
The current owners of <strong>the</strong> property, <strong>the</strong> Marquis Pancrazi family, were originally from Cortona, where <strong>the</strong>y were ennobled in 1492. After<br />
a series of marriages with various illustrious families, <strong>the</strong>y were given <strong>the</strong> title of Marquis in 1800.<br />
The reason <strong>for</strong> which <strong>the</strong> property has become something of a specialist in <strong>the</strong> production of Pinot Noir in <strong>the</strong> hills of Montemurlo near<br />
Prato, where <strong>the</strong>re is no known history of <strong>the</strong> cultivation of this grape, is quite simple: an error on <strong>the</strong> part of a vine nursery, which<br />
thought it was sending <strong>the</strong> estates Sangiovese vines and sent <strong>the</strong>m Pinot Noir instead. This was in 1970, and Pinot Noir demonstrated<br />
that it was so at home in <strong>the</strong>se humid soils, rich in calcareous elements and iron, that <strong>the</strong> Pancrazi family decided to continue planting<br />
<strong>the</strong> variety in <strong>the</strong> following years. Despite <strong>the</strong>se unusual circumstances, quality levels are regularly high and <strong>the</strong> wines show a rare elegance <strong>for</strong> this<br />
part of Italy: <strong>the</strong> estate’s cru, “Vigna Baragazza” is rich and powerful, while <strong>the</strong> rosé is quite original and mineral in character.<br />
The first clones which were planted have been joined by Burgundy clones, which have given <strong>the</strong> wine an additional complexity in various<br />
vintages.<br />
The old vineyards have been substituted, and studies of new clones are under way in an experimental vineyard whose grapes, in order<br />
to be better studied, are fermented in small batches.<br />

Castagneto Carducci (Livorno) - PATRIMONIO TRINGALI-CASANUOVA<br />
The name of <strong>the</strong> Trincali-Casanova family is part of <strong>the</strong> history of <strong>the</strong> area around Castagneto Carducci on <strong>the</strong><br />
Tuscan coast since <strong>the</strong> first half of <strong>the</strong> 14th century, to <strong>the</strong> point that <strong>the</strong> family was awarded <strong>the</strong> “Casa al Piano”<br />
farm by Guido Alberto Della Gherardesca in 1698. To testify to this historical fact, <strong>the</strong> label of <strong>the</strong> property’s<br />
Bolgheri Rosso represents a plaque attached to <strong>the</strong> façade of <strong>the</strong> estate’s manor house.<br />
The property extends over 100 acres (seven hectares), divided between <strong>the</strong> Poderi della Casa and Podere Casino<br />
farms. It cultivates some 17 acres (seven hectares) of vineyards planted to Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and<br />
Sangiovese and 48 acres (19 hectares) of olive groves planted with <strong>the</strong> Frantoio, Moraiolo and Leccino olive varieties.<br />
A new attention to <strong>the</strong> viticulture and <strong>the</strong> wines of <strong>the</strong> property began in 2002 with <strong>the</strong> return to <strong>the</strong> estate of Antonino Tringali-Casanuova, who<br />
decided to move from Milan to Castagneto Carducci with his entire family and once again take in hand <strong>the</strong> vineyards which had been leased out. It is<br />
in this period that <strong>the</strong> work of reinvigorating old vineyards and planting new ones was begun with <strong>the</strong> precise aim of producing grapes with greater<br />
concentration. The objective was wines of higher quality in a territory which, in a mere twenty years, had attained an important level of prestige.<br />
The site enjoys a balmy microclimate, favored by sea breezes which mitigate both summer heat and winter cold. The constant breeziness clears <strong>the</strong><br />
sky of clouds, limiting precipitation and bathing <strong>the</strong> area in day-long sunlight.These positive factors allow <strong>the</strong> vine to give its maximum and produce<br />
grapes perfectly suited to <strong>the</strong> creation of excellent wine.<br />

Campagnatico (Grosseto) - POGGIO TREVVALLE<br />
Bro<strong>the</strong>rs Umberto and Bernardo Valle have owned, since 1998, this estate in <strong>the</strong> Tuscan <strong>Mare</strong>mma,<br />
situated in <strong>the</strong> township of Campagnatico. Poggio Trevvale is a hill below which <strong>the</strong> estate extends<br />
over 35 acres (14 hectares) of vineyards, cultivated according to certified biological methods.<br />
In this part of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Mare</strong>mma <strong>the</strong> character of <strong>the</strong> soil changes with startling rapidity from place to<br />
place. For this reason differing cultivation methods are essential <strong>for</strong> a successful harvest and change<br />
from vineyard plot to vineyard plot. The use of differing cover crops and cereals maintain <strong>the</strong> vitality<br />
and fertility of <strong>the</strong> soil.<br />
The Sangiovese grape represents 85% of <strong>the</strong> vineyard, with Alicante, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon accounting <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> rest.<br />
The aroma and flavor of a wine can be individual and characterized only if <strong>the</strong> grapes from which it is produced is a true expression of <strong>the</strong> soil and<br />
micro-climate. The combination of <strong>the</strong>se two elements represents what is specific about a site, its “terroir”. The vines absorb this character through<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir leaves and roots.<br />
Grown without <strong>the</strong> use of any sort of chemicals, <strong>the</strong> grapes produced in <strong>the</strong>se vineyards are truly <strong>the</strong> unique fruit of <strong>the</strong>ir territory and of <strong>the</strong> men<br />
who work it.<br />

Toscana<br />
Castelnuovo dell’Abate, Montalcino (Siena) - TENUTA DI SESTA<br />
The word “Sesta” derives from a milestone, of Roman origin, near which <strong>the</strong> country<br />
church of Santa Maria in Sexta, <strong>the</strong> object of a dispute between <strong>the</strong> bishops of Arezzo and<br />
Siena, was located. The church and its vast possessions had fallen under <strong>the</strong> jurisdiction of<br />
<strong>the</strong> Abbey of Sant’Antimo in Montalcino towards <strong>the</strong> end of <strong>the</strong> 8th century A.D.<br />
The Tenuta di Sesta estate was created with <strong>the</strong> expansion in power of <strong>the</strong> Republic of<br />
Siena and <strong>the</strong> decline in importance of <strong>the</strong> Abbey of Sant’Antimo, which first became <strong>the</strong><br />
property of <strong>the</strong> noble Tolomei family and <strong>the</strong>n, in 1850, of <strong>the</strong> Ciacci bro<strong>the</strong>rs.<br />
The first bottles of Brunello di Montalcino were produced at <strong>the</strong> property by Giuseppe<br />
Ciacci, <strong>the</strong> fa<strong>the</strong>r of <strong>the</strong> current owner, in 1966, <strong>the</strong> year in which <strong>the</strong> wine was given appellation (DOC) status. At <strong>the</strong> time <strong>the</strong>re<br />
were a mere twelve bottlers of <strong>the</strong> wines in Montalcino, and <strong>for</strong> this reason Tenuta is Sesta is rightly considered an<br />
historic estate.<br />
Structural changes have been carried out at <strong>the</strong> property, which has grown from <strong>the</strong> original ten hectares (25 acres)<br />
to <strong>the</strong> current 30 hectares (75 acres) with 13.5 hectares (33 acres) of vineyards <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> production of Brunello di Montalcino.<br />
A selection of <strong>the</strong> estate’s finest and most historic Sangiovese clones has been made and planted in an experimental two hectare<br />
(five acre) vineyard. Tenuta di Sesta is located in between Sant’Angelo in Colle and Castelnuovo dell’Abate near <strong>the</strong> Abbey of<br />
Sant’Antimo, on south-facing hillsides which slope gently downwards from 400 meters (1325 feet) to 200 meters (660 feet) above<br />
sea level. The vines are sheltered from colder north wind by <strong>the</strong> Poggio d’Arna hill, and benefit from <strong>the</strong> nearby presence of<br />
Mount Amiata, from which <strong>the</strong> warm breezes of <strong>the</strong> Tuscan <strong>Mare</strong>mma waft over <strong>the</strong> surrounding area. For this reason, <strong>the</strong> vineyards,<br />
which enjoy a favored position in <strong>the</strong> zone, succeed in ripening <strong>the</strong> grapes earlier than those of o<strong>the</strong>r producers. The soils,<br />
in general, consist of clay, limestone, and volcanic rock, and were <strong>for</strong>med by <strong>the</strong> decomposition of clay schist and hard, calcareous<br />
stone. Of low vigor, <strong>the</strong>y are excellent <strong>for</strong> viticulture.<br />

Migliana, Cantagallo (Prato) - ANTICO FORNO SANTI<br />
The Antico Forno Santi has worked <strong>for</strong> many years at Miglaina, a hamlet deep in <strong>the</strong> lovely green landscape of <strong>the</strong> Bisanzio river valley,<br />
just outside of <strong>the</strong> city of Prato. In a small atelier, Leonardo Santi has begun, once again, to use an old recipe book <strong>for</strong> local sweets,<br />
completely in <strong>the</strong> Tuscan tradition, entirely hand made and using <strong>the</strong> finest ingredients which Italy can offer: <strong>the</strong> sweet almonds<br />
of Apulia, dried figs from Calabria, and apricots from <strong>the</strong> Tuscan <strong>Mare</strong>mma.<br />

Frascati (Roma) - L’OLIVELLA<br />
This is a young estate, dynamic, constantly innovative but which maintains<br />
solid links to <strong>the</strong> culture and traditions of its territory. The cellars are<br />
situated in a farmhouse dating <strong>for</strong>m <strong>the</strong> end of <strong>the</strong> 19th century, surrounded<br />
by centuries-old olive groves and old vineyards in <strong>the</strong> area of <strong>the</strong> Castelli<br />
Romani southwest of Rome.<br />
The soil is of volcanic origin, rich in minerals, and <strong>for</strong> centuries has been a favored spot <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> cultivation of <strong>the</strong> vine and <strong>the</strong><br />
production of high level wines, even if <strong>the</strong> appellation, Frascati, is better know nowadays <strong>for</strong> large-scale commercial production.<br />
The vineyards, trained to a Guyot system, produce, on <strong>the</strong> average, eight tons per hectare (little more than three tons per acre)<br />
from vine densities of 4500 plants per hectare (1800 per acre). The is, naturally and necessarily, a great ef<strong>for</strong>t on <strong>the</strong> part of this<br />
producer to demonstrate just how pleasurable <strong>the</strong> local wine can be, beginning with <strong>the</strong> recovery of such old grape varieties of<br />
<strong>the</strong> zone as Cesanese, Malvasia del Lazio, Trebbiano Giallo, Bellone, Malvasia Puntinata.<br />

Montecastrilli (Terni) - FATTORIA LE POGGETTE<br />
The property consists of more than 1150 acres (450 hectares) situated in <strong>the</strong> townships of<br />
Montecastrili and Sangemini, 45 acres (18 hectares) of which are planted to vines. Their<br />
microclimate is influenced by <strong>the</strong> topography of <strong>the</strong> terrain, a natural amphi<strong>the</strong>atre which<br />
encloses <strong>the</strong> vineyards and protects <strong>the</strong>m from cold winds. The soil is a mixture of sand, clay,<br />
and calcareous elements.<br />
The estate was founded in <strong>the</strong> 1960’s when Giorgio Lanzetta purchased <strong>the</strong> land, utilizing a<br />
part of <strong>the</strong>m <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> cultivation of <strong>the</strong> vine and planting <strong>the</strong> Montpeulciano grape of his native Abruzzo.<br />
New vineyards were planted between 1975 and 1980 with <strong>the</strong> objective of selling, in bulk, a wine composed of Sangiovese,<br />
Canaiolo, and Montepulciano. Later <strong>the</strong> Colli Amerini DOC was created, an appellation which can be utilized by of <strong>the</strong> estate’s<br />
wines.<br />
The aim, ever since 1995, has been to produce bottled wines of superior elegance and structure to be sold on quality markets.<br />

Umbria<br />
Cannara (<strong>Per</strong>ugia) - PLANI ARCHE<br />
The 15 acres (six hectares) of vineyards of <strong>the</strong> Plani Arche estate are situated in <strong>the</strong> hills of Bevagna where,<br />
according to local legend, Saintn Francis preached to <strong>the</strong> birds, a scene which is represented in Giotto’s frescoes<br />
in <strong>the</strong> lower church of <strong>the</strong> Basilica of San Francis at Assisi, just a short distance away.<br />
The areas planted to vines, in <strong>the</strong> prestigious appellation of Montefalco, consists of a series of sunny hillsides<br />
with calcareous clay soils, ideal <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> creation of perfumed and structured wines, typical products of <strong>the</strong><br />
Sagrantino grape. It is considered of local origin, even though <strong>the</strong>re are o<strong>the</strong>r hypo<strong>the</strong>ses: some consider it to<br />
be Spanish, o<strong>the</strong>rs believe it was brought to <strong>the</strong> area by Franciscan monks, imported into Italy by <strong>the</strong> Saracens,<br />
or by Byzantine monks from Asia Minor. Its name – which could be derived ei<strong>the</strong>r from “sacred” or “sacristy”<br />
- reflects <strong>the</strong> belief that <strong>the</strong> wine was used <strong>for</strong> communion during <strong>the</strong> mass.<br />
The vineyards have been cultivated according to <strong>the</strong> norms of biological agriculture since 1994, with Sagrantino, Sangiovese<br />
and Barbera used <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> red wines, Grechetto <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> white wine. O<strong>the</strong>r grapes varieties from different parts of Italy are also<br />
being experimented at <strong>the</strong> current time.<br />

Umbria<br />
Allerona (Terni) - TENUTA POGGIO DEL LUPO<br />
Tenuta Poggio del Lupo is located to <strong>the</strong> north of <strong>the</strong> city of Orvieto in <strong>the</strong> valley of <strong>the</strong> Paglia river, and is<br />
situated on <strong>the</strong> Poggio del Lupo hill at 1050 feet (315 meters) above sea level. The hill has had this name since<br />
<strong>the</strong> Middle Ages when it inhabited at night by wolves. The area is in <strong>the</strong> territory of Allerona, a hilly zone where<br />
woods alternate with <strong>the</strong> dense plantings of vineyards and olive groves which characterize <strong>the</strong> zone’s physical<br />
aspect.<br />
Of <strong>the</strong> property’s total surface area of 290 acres (116 hectares), 105 acres (42 hectares) are planted to vineyards,<br />
some thirty years old, on clay marls richly veined with calcareous elements and with a sou<strong>the</strong>astern exposure<br />
which is favourable <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> ripening of <strong>the</strong> grapes. In 2002, inspired by a passion <strong>for</strong> viticulture, <strong>the</strong> Polato<br />
family began a major adventure in <strong>the</strong> world of wine by purchasing this property in Umbria, long familiar to<br />
<strong>the</strong>m as vacationers from <strong>the</strong> north of Italy.<br />
For <strong>the</strong>m it is has been a true challenge: to trans<strong>for</strong>m - with <strong>the</strong> assistance of consulting enologist Riccardo Cotarella – an agricultural property run<br />
in a traditional way, with all of <strong>the</strong> virtues and defects which this implies, particularly as far as <strong>the</strong> winemaking is concerned, into a modern estate<br />
with a reputation <strong>for</strong> quality wine. The two pillars of <strong>the</strong> estate’s work are a respect <strong>for</strong> history and tradition and, at <strong>the</strong> same time,<br />
a desire <strong>for</strong> a modern character in <strong>the</strong> wines: a personal interpretation of <strong>the</strong> traditional white wines of <strong>the</strong> zone and <strong>the</strong> creation<br />
of red wines new to <strong>the</strong> area, both produced from native Italian grape varieties.<br />

Marche<br />
Jesi (Ancona) - MONTECAPPONE<br />
The Marches boast a millenarian tradition of wine. In this unique landscape,<br />
consisting of fertile and flourishing hills which gently slope eastward towards <strong>the</strong><br />
Adriatic Sea, <strong>the</strong> vine has always given excellent results, and <strong>the</strong> Montecappone<br />
estate has always attempted to obtain <strong>the</strong> finest possible quality from <strong>the</strong> grapes of its proprietary vineyards.<br />
The estate was created towards <strong>the</strong> end of <strong>the</strong> 1960’s near <strong>the</strong> city of Jesi. In 1977 it was purchased, in its entirety, by <strong>the</strong> Bomprezzi-Mirizzi family,<br />
which immediately began <strong>the</strong> work of restructuring <strong>the</strong> property, amplifying <strong>the</strong> cellars and replanting <strong>the</strong> vineyards. It currently owns more than<br />
175 acres (70 hectares) of vineyards on <strong>the</strong> hillsides and around <strong>the</strong> castles near <strong>the</strong> city of Jesi.<br />
Wine has become a true passion <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> family, which began with a wine shop in Rome in 1954 which has now become a highly respected enoteca<br />
in <strong>the</strong> capital.<br />
The estate aims at attain <strong>the</strong> highest possible quality with <strong>the</strong> grapes of <strong>the</strong> area, in particular Verdicchio, Montepulciano, and Sangiovese.<br />
The careful selection of <strong>the</strong> grapes during <strong>the</strong> harvest, <strong>the</strong> low yields per acre, <strong>the</strong> experimentation in <strong>the</strong> vineyards and in <strong>the</strong> cellar, <strong>the</strong> expert<br />
counsels of agronomists and enologists, toge<strong>the</strong>r with this innate passion <strong>for</strong> wine – all <strong>the</strong>se are <strong>the</strong> tangible signs of <strong>the</strong> growth of <strong>the</strong> estate, <strong>the</strong><br />
creation of a Montecappone style of wine, something which is easily and immediately recognizable.<br />

Abruzzo<br />
Atessa(Chieti) - SPINELLI<br />
The firm was founded thirty years ago, but <strong>the</strong> dedication to wine and <strong>the</strong><br />
sense of importance of <strong>the</strong> family in its production have been handed down<br />
from generation to generation.<br />
The first steps were moved by fa<strong>the</strong>r Vincenzo, who sold wine in bulk. The<br />
fundamental idea, however, was to grow and to improve <strong>the</strong> production<br />
with ever greater attention to quality criteria. When sons Carlo and Adriano<br />
joined <strong>the</strong> business, <strong>the</strong>se aspirations became concrete objectives to attain. With passion <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> daily work, constant commitment,<br />
determination, and dedication, <strong>the</strong> firm became an important protagonist in <strong>the</strong> selection of wines from <strong>the</strong> hills of Frentane and<br />
<strong>the</strong> hills of Sangro in <strong>the</strong> province of Chieti, <strong>the</strong> sou<strong>the</strong>rnmost part of <strong>the</strong> Abuzzo region. All <strong>the</strong> various phases of <strong>the</strong> operation<br />
are scrupulously followed by members of <strong>the</strong> Spinelli family with <strong>the</strong> assistance of <strong>the</strong>ir enologist, joining modern technology to<br />
solid traditions and experience in order to produce wines of various types, of various quality levels and prices.<br />

Molise<br />
Larino (Campobasso) - D’UVA<br />
D’Uva has now become a “didactic estate”, a territorial center <strong>for</strong> environmental and nutritional<br />
awareness where schools and families, young people and adults, all contribute with<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir presence to a project aimed at bringing to light all <strong>the</strong> entire potential and<br />
quality of a territory. The concept is to grow and to recount <strong>the</strong> emotions, with greater<br />
emphasis on how one grows, not how much.<br />
Angelo D’Uva dedicates his entire attention to <strong>the</strong> territory, both <strong>the</strong> visible aspects, its vineyards,<br />
and <strong>the</strong> invisible ones, its history, and tells its tale with his products. The splendid<br />
restructured farmhouse, in <strong>the</strong> very middle of <strong>the</strong> vineyards and olive groves, is a fundamental<br />
stop which serves to appreciate <strong>the</strong> value given to hospitality in <strong>the</strong> rural world, its warmth,<br />
its flavor, <strong>the</strong> way it characterizes a people and a culture. The estate was founded in <strong>the</strong> 1940’s when <strong>the</strong> grandfa<strong>the</strong>r of Angelo<br />
d’Uva arrived as a sharecropper in <strong>the</strong> Molise region, and has been handed down to <strong>the</strong> current generation, now <strong>the</strong> third, in direct<br />
line of descent. The ties to <strong>the</strong> territory remain strong, along with its working methods and traditions. But modern technology<br />
and modern methodologies are also used to obtain products of praiseworthy quality.<br />

Felitto (Salerno) - CANTINA RIZZO<br />
The Rizzo winery is located on <strong>the</strong> slopes of Mount Chianiello, near <strong>the</strong> spectacular gorges of <strong>the</strong><br />
Calore river in <strong>the</strong> township of Felitto, a town known <strong>for</strong> a very particular type of pasta, as a<br />
signboard at <strong>the</strong> entrance to <strong>the</strong> town in<strong>for</strong>ms visitors. The estate belongs to <strong>the</strong> Rizzo-Capozzoli<br />
family.<br />
Fa<strong>the</strong>r Costantino Capozzoli began operations in 1970 with <strong>the</strong> production of grapes which were<br />
consigned to <strong>the</strong> cooperative winery of nearby Castel San Lorenzo. In 2004 his son Gianvito and<br />
his daughter Mariarosa took over cellar duties while <strong>the</strong>ir fa<strong>the</strong>r continued to work <strong>the</strong> vines;<br />
toge<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong>y decided to totally trans<strong>for</strong>m <strong>the</strong> vineyards, construct new cellars, and begin to ferment on<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir own <strong>the</strong> grapes of <strong>the</strong>ir proprietary vineyards in Felitto and Laurino, both located in <strong>the</strong> San<br />
Lorenzo appellation and in <strong>the</strong> area if <strong>the</strong> Paestum IGT. The cellar work, from that moment on, has<br />
constantly expanded with innovative production techniques and <strong>the</strong> introduction of new equipment<br />
and working methods aimed at systematic improvement of <strong>the</strong> wines produced.<br />
Today <strong>the</strong> ef<strong>for</strong>ts of <strong>the</strong> winery, even more than in <strong>the</strong> past, aim <strong>for</strong> ever higher quality levels in <strong>the</strong> vineyard and in <strong>the</strong> cellar in order<br />
to express <strong>the</strong> maximum quality potential of <strong>the</strong> historic grape varieties of <strong>the</strong> zone.<br />
The <strong>for</strong>mula has already been experimented with in o<strong>the</strong>rs parts of <strong>the</strong> Cilento area: Aglianico instead of Barbera, a reduction of <strong>the</strong><br />
presence of o<strong>the</strong>r grape varieties, and above all a re-evaluation of <strong>the</strong> quality potential of Aglianicone, a clone present from time immemorial<br />
in <strong>the</strong> Calore river valley but also found in <strong>the</strong> province of Caserta and on Mount Vulture in <strong>the</strong> region of Basilicata.<br />
Freeing <strong>the</strong>mselves from <strong>the</strong> local tradition of Barbera cultivation, this small property has succeeded in increasing both its prestige and<br />
<strong>the</strong> number of bottles produced, staking its bets both on Aglianico and Aglianicone and, <strong>for</strong> white wines, on Fiano, planted in newly<br />
acquired vineyards in Laurino, below Mount Cervati at close to 1700 feet above sea level. The first harvest was in 2008.<br />
The pasta of Felitto …. now has its own wine to accompany it!<br />

Castel Campagnano (Caserta) - CASTELLO DUCALE<br />
The cellars of Castello Ducale are located at Castel Campagnano in <strong>the</strong> Caiatine<br />
hills, between Capua and <strong>the</strong> lands occupied in ancient times by <strong>the</strong> Samnite<br />
peoples. This is an old manor house in whose subterranean vaults an early<br />
Christian church, decorated with late-Byzantine frescoes, was discovered. And<br />
in <strong>the</strong>se cellars wine was once stored and aged, in caves of tufaceous rock<br />
where temperatures remain constant at 55° Fahrenheit (13° centigrade) <strong>the</strong><br />
whole year round, an ideal spot <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> aging of today’s fine wines produced by Castello Ducale. The estate cultivates some 37<br />
acres (fifteen hectares) of vineyards according to <strong>the</strong> principals of biological agriculture, <strong>the</strong> grapes trained on wires in <strong>the</strong> hills<br />
of Castel Campagnano and in <strong>the</strong> Solopaca appellation. The wines and vines are part both of <strong>the</strong> Terre di Volturno zone and of <strong>the</strong><br />
Sannio DOC. The red grapes are Aglianico, Piedirosso, Pallagrello Nero, and Casavecchia, while <strong>the</strong> white grapes are Pallagrello<br />

Campania<br />
Castelfranci (Avellino) - PERILLO<br />
The history of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Per</strong>illo estate is that of a family with a long viticultural history at Castelfranchi,<br />
a small town in <strong>the</strong> Calore valley, located in Taurasi appellation in <strong>the</strong> sou<strong>the</strong>rn Italian region of<br />
Campania.<br />
The vineyards are located at approximately 500 meters (1650 feet) above sea level, and <strong>the</strong> climate<br />
is continental, with cold winters and frequent snows, warm but never torrid summers, and<br />
important temperature swings from nighttime to daytime. The grapes, accordingly, ripen slowly and<br />
ra<strong>the</strong>r late, but with a very regular development in <strong>the</strong> vineyard even in difficult vintages. In hot<br />
years <strong>the</strong> temperature swings aid <strong>the</strong> grapes to conserve aroma and acidity; in rainy years <strong>the</strong><br />
constant breezes reduce <strong>the</strong> risks of mould and allow <strong>the</strong> grapes to accumulate sugar and structure despite <strong>the</strong> adverse wea<strong>the</strong>r<br />
conditions.<br />
The estate can count on old vineyards, some still on <strong>the</strong>ir original roots, which produce an Aglianico with special characteristics, in<br />
particular small and widely spaced berries, a feature which, in <strong>the</strong> production zone, gives <strong>the</strong> name of “pony tail” to this type of grape<br />
bunch. The soil is firm, and rich in both clay and limestone. The result of this particular combination of soil and climate are low yields<br />
in <strong>the</strong> vineyard; in some vintages <strong>the</strong> vines produce as little as 1.2 tons of grapes per acre.<br />

Tufo (Avellino) - TORRICINO<br />
The estate began to move at <strong>the</strong> beginning of <strong>the</strong> 1970’s when Vitantonio Di Marzo radically changed his<br />
way of cultivating his vineyards, which extended over eight different parcels in <strong>the</strong> township of Tufo.<br />
The demonstration of <strong>the</strong> total commitment to quality is now shown by his son Stefano, who has chosen<br />
as his principal criteria <strong>the</strong> selection of grapes from vineyards which are at least ten years old. And <strong>the</strong><br />
chosen crus are <strong>the</strong> following: Vignale, Ripa ai Corvi, Serrone, Torricino, Campanaro, Fellone, Santo Stefano<br />
and Saude. And <strong>the</strong>ir grapes give to <strong>the</strong> Greco di Tufo of Torricino a precise expression of <strong>the</strong> variety<br />
in a modern style, aged in oak but without any excessive influence of <strong>the</strong> wood to limit <strong>the</strong> aromatic<br />
personality of <strong>the</strong> wine. Young Stefano Di Marzo has a clear idea of what Greco must be in this area: a wine which maintains<br />
certain characteristics of <strong>the</strong> peasant tradition of <strong>the</strong> zone; well extracted, a full yellow in color, with notes of pastry on <strong>the</strong> nose<br />
and a real opulence on <strong>the</strong> palate, all elements necessary to balance <strong>the</strong> pronounced acidity of <strong>the</strong> wine. And <strong>the</strong>se elements are<br />
found in <strong>the</strong> estate’s Fiano d’Avellino as well.<br />
“The first rule”, maintains Stefano Di Marzo, “is true commitment and hard work in <strong>the</strong> vineyard. The soil is part of our life, and<br />
<strong>the</strong> fact of having relatively limited vineyard acreage is all in our favor; our vineyards are as important <strong>for</strong> us as our home”.<br />
The nature of <strong>the</strong> vineyard soil is a large part of <strong>the</strong> difference in <strong>the</strong> wines. Tufo, <strong>for</strong> many years, had its destiny linked to <strong>the</strong><br />
sulfur mines discovered in 1866, and this explains why sulfur and its influence are so much a part of <strong>the</strong> history of <strong>the</strong> area, to<br />
<strong>the</strong> point that a subtle suggestion of its presence can even be felt in <strong>the</strong> wines.<br />

Lucera (Foggia) - ALBERTO LONGO<br />
The estate was born from an inspiration of Alberto Longo who, in <strong>the</strong> year 2000, began a project aimed at restoring <strong>the</strong> ties<br />
to <strong>the</strong> agricultural traditions of his family and at creating a certain image and lustre <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> place in which he was born. The<br />
property is at Lucera, a town located in <strong>the</strong> center of a zone with important traditions and a highly favourable environment<br />
<strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> vine; here <strong>the</strong> civilization of <strong>the</strong> Dauni flourished, a people from <strong>the</strong> Aegean Sea who established <strong>the</strong>mselves in this<br />
part of sou<strong>the</strong>rn Italy between <strong>the</strong> 10th and <strong>the</strong> 3rd centuries B.C, bringing with <strong>the</strong>m <strong>the</strong> culture of ancient Greece and <strong>the</strong><br />
cultivation of <strong>the</strong> vine. The splendour of <strong>the</strong> buildings <strong>for</strong>m <strong>the</strong> Roman epoch, during which Lucera became <strong>the</strong> center of its<br />
province, are fur<strong>the</strong>r testimony of <strong>the</strong> agricultural and commercial significance of <strong>the</strong> area. The arrival of <strong>the</strong> Swabians in <strong>the</strong> twelth century A.D. and <strong>the</strong> great<br />
affection of Emperor Frederic II <strong>for</strong> this territory, full of oak <strong>for</strong>ests, foxes, and wild boars, ideal <strong>for</strong> hunting, made Daunia a privileged place of residence during this<br />
period.<br />
The cordon-trained vineyards, <strong>the</strong> low yields per acre, <strong>the</strong> insistence on hand-picking of <strong>the</strong> grapes – <strong>the</strong>se are all symbols of <strong>the</strong> commitment to quality which<br />
distinguish <strong>the</strong> estate. The vine densities – between 2400 and 5000 vines per acre (6000-12,500 per hectare) – are highly unusual <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> zone, and <strong>the</strong> vineyards<br />
are divided between two major blocks, Masseria Celentano and Masseria Cavalli. Masseria Celentano - where Alberto Longo’s passion <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> soil and <strong>for</strong> wine<br />
developed during his infancy and youth - hosts <strong>the</strong> red Nero di Troia grape (in <strong>the</strong> “Le Cruste” cru), planted at densities of 5000 vines per acre, and <strong>the</strong> white<br />
Falanghina variety. Lovely rows of Negroamaro, Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon are planted alongside <strong>the</strong> road which leads to <strong>the</strong> farm<br />
house and its surrounding land.<br />
The estate has created its winemaking headquarters in a 19th century farmhouse, Masseria Cavalli, with cellars dating from 1906 which belonged to <strong>the</strong> Cavalli<br />
family of Lucera. High-tech cellars have been installed and equipped in spaces once used <strong>for</strong> stocking grain. A barrel-aging facility, with full control of light, humidity,<br />
and temperature, insures optimal conditions <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> aging of <strong>the</strong> wines. From <strong>the</strong> estate’s grounds <strong>the</strong>re is a superb panorama of <strong>the</strong> castle of Lucera and rows<br />
of Falanghina, Chardonnay, Montepulciano, Bombino Bianco, and Nero di Troia vines, symbols of <strong>the</strong> long history and new commitment to quality of this territory.<br />

Andria (Bari) - GIANCARLO CECI<br />
The estate of Giancarlo Ceci is located in <strong>the</strong> countryside outside of <strong>the</strong> cith of Andria at an altitude<br />
of 250 meters (850 feet) above sea level. It is a property with eight generations of history, handed down<br />
from fa<strong>the</strong>r to son with a continuous respect <strong>for</strong> nature and tradition.<br />
Giancarlo Ceci began <strong>the</strong> work of revitalizing <strong>the</strong> estate in 1988, converting it to biological agriculture<br />
and focusing his ef<strong>for</strong>ts on innovation, quality, and marketing. The initial commitment was to <strong>the</strong> cultivation<br />
of vegetables, marketing <strong>the</strong> produce to important international supermarket chains which sell<br />
biological products, and <strong>the</strong>n to <strong>the</strong> estate’s olive groves. In 2002, with <strong>the</strong> assistance of consulting winemaker Lorenzo Landi, wine<br />
became <strong>the</strong> center of a new program. The new 3000 square meter cellar, along with an annex <strong>for</strong> an olive oil mill, was constructed<br />
in 2004, a date which coincided with <strong>the</strong> first year of fermentation of <strong>the</strong> grapes. The wines began to be marketed in 2006.<br />
The permeable calcareous soil, <strong>the</strong> nearby Adriatic Sea with creates a Mediterranean climate with warm and sunny days mitigated<br />
by constant breezes – all <strong>the</strong>se factors combine to give very ripe grapes, but fruity and with much finesse as well.<br />
The vineyards extend over a total surface area of 70 hectares (175 acres) planted to a density of 4000-5000 vines per hectare (1600-<br />
2000 per acre). The varieties which are cultivated are Nero di Troia, Aglianico, Montepulciano, Bombino Nero, Moscato Bianco,<br />
Chardonnay and Bombino Bianco.<br />
The cellars below <strong>the</strong> old family palace have been trans<strong>for</strong>med into a barrel-aging facility.<br />
The extra-virgin olive oil is produced from Coratina olives, very fruity and rich in polyphenols, excellent anti-oxidants. Fundamental<br />
rules have been fixed in order to obtain a high quality product: a harvest when <strong>the</strong> olives are properly ripe, maximum reduction of<br />
<strong>the</strong> time between harvesting and milling, elimination of all <strong>the</strong> potential causes of oxidation during <strong>the</strong> working phases and <strong>the</strong> period<br />
of conservation of <strong>the</strong> oil.<br />

Lizzanello ( Lecce) - GIANNI CALOGIURI<br />
In <strong>the</strong> province of Lecce <strong>the</strong> peasants once produced a kind of syrup by cooking <strong>the</strong> must of <strong>the</strong> grapes of <strong>the</strong><br />
zone. It was considered so precious that it was <strong>the</strong> only condiment <strong>the</strong> families used during winter festivities and,<br />
at times, was even warmed up and used as a <strong>the</strong>rapeutic tonic against colds.<br />
The Calogiuri family has produced this elixir – called Vincotto - since 1825, a product rooted in <strong>the</strong> culture and<br />
traditions of this sou<strong>the</strong>rnmost part of <strong>the</strong> Italian peninsula, deep in <strong>the</strong> heel of <strong>the</strong> boot: <strong>the</strong> Salento peninsula.<br />
This tradition has been handed down by six generations over <strong>the</strong> course of time. In 1993, on <strong>the</strong> advice of a chef,<br />
Gianni Calogiuri decided to develop and market <strong>the</strong> product, using old stocks held by <strong>the</strong> family.<br />
Vincotto is obtained by slowly cooking <strong>the</strong> must of Negroamaro and Malvasia Nera grapes, harvest after a period<br />
of raising on <strong>the</strong> vine and <strong>the</strong>n, indoors, on mats. The must simmers <strong>for</strong> 24 until its volume has been reduced by four fifths, or 80%. The<br />
final product, very dense, is <strong>the</strong>n aged in small oak barrels along with <strong>the</strong> “madre”, a gelatinous mass of deposits containing yeast cells,<br />
itself of a certain age, in order to develop all of its flavors and aromas. No additives, preservatives, or coloring material are utilized, nor<br />
is sugar added. It is highly nutritional and <strong>the</strong>rapeutic, and contains many polyphenols, natural anti-oxidants.<br />

Nardò (Lecce) - SCHOLA SARMENTI<br />
The story of <strong>the</strong> cultivation of <strong>the</strong> vine has always been intimately connected to <strong>the</strong> specific territory where it is grown<br />
and to <strong>the</strong> accumulated wisdom of generations of cultivators, an infinite source of knowledge and understanding, a<br />
patrimony to study, to utilize, to tirelessly take advantage of and put to best use.<br />
The mission of Schola Sarmenti is to maintain <strong>the</strong> vitality and validity of <strong>the</strong> indispensable link between <strong>the</strong> traditions<br />
of <strong>the</strong> past and <strong>the</strong> constant study of <strong>the</strong> art of enology, which contains and maintains <strong>the</strong> <strong>the</strong>ory of winemaking.<br />
The wines of Schol Sarmenti draw <strong>the</strong>ir origins from <strong>the</strong> area of Nardò, a territorial unit whose integrity has allowed<br />
it to preserve, over time, <strong>the</strong> classic bush vines of <strong>the</strong> Salento peninsula, <strong>the</strong> very emblem of this part of Italy.<br />
The ties between <strong>the</strong> fiefdom of Nardò and <strong>the</strong> art of enology began in <strong>the</strong> XII century A.D., <strong>the</strong> period of <strong>the</strong> Basilian<br />
monks, authors both of <strong>the</strong> first norms of agricultural laws and jurisprudence and <strong>the</strong> first working cellars <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
trans<strong>for</strong>mation of grapes into wine. The vineyards, already present in <strong>the</strong> Neolithic age, gradually expanded from <strong>the</strong> first settlements to <strong>the</strong><br />
entire countryside, a fact which in itself demonstrates how much <strong>the</strong>se fertile soils were suitable <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> cultivation of <strong>the</strong> vine.<br />
Schola Sarmenti, with its vineyards (11 hectares, or 27 acres, planted to Negroamaro, Primitivo, and Malvasia Nera di Lecce) and wines, recounts<br />
and renews, on a daily basis, an enduring past and <strong>the</strong> rich fruits which it continues to give.<br />

Barile (Potenza) - MACARICO<br />
The Macarico estate, located in <strong>the</strong> heart of Vulture volcano, is owned by Rino Botte, Vito Paternoster, and Renato Abrami<br />
and extends over 10 hectares (25 acres) of land, five of which are planted to vineyards. Its wines are, necessarily, 100%<br />
pure Aglianico and tell <strong>the</strong> tale both of <strong>the</strong>ir grape variety and of <strong>the</strong>ir place of origin: power and elegance born from <strong>the</strong><br />
character of <strong>the</strong> grape, of <strong>the</strong> volcanic soil, and <strong>the</strong> shape of <strong>the</strong> landscape, a series of long valleys created by <strong>the</strong> lava of<br />
<strong>the</strong> volcano’s eruptions where <strong>the</strong> breezes mitigate and cool <strong>the</strong> heat of Italy’s south.<br />
The vineyards are in <strong>the</strong> Macarico district - a name which derives from <strong>the</strong> Greek word macar, he who is blessed<br />
(blessed by owning land in this spot?) – of <strong>the</strong> township of Barile, and are located at 500 meters (1650 feet) above<br />
sea level. Wedged between olive groves, <strong>the</strong>y are densely planted (9500 vines per hectare, almost 4000 per acre) and are<br />
planted with a selection of cuttings from old vines in <strong>the</strong> best parts of <strong>the</strong> territory after identifying vines which were at<br />
least 80 years old. The vines are cultivated with traditional methods, without weed-killers or chemical fertilizers, utilizing only natural products to<br />
fight vine diseases in order to to fully respect <strong>the</strong> environment.<br />
The cellars, situated just outside of <strong>the</strong> town itself, have been hollowed out of <strong>the</strong> volcanic rock of <strong>the</strong> zone and date from <strong>the</strong> 16th century.<br />
Fermentation begins entirely spontaneously, without <strong>the</strong> use of selected yeasts, and aims at preserving <strong>the</strong> full integrity of <strong>the</strong> fruit, given that <strong>the</strong><br />
success of <strong>the</strong> project is based on <strong>the</strong> ripeness and healthiness of <strong>the</strong> grapes brought to <strong>the</strong> cellars. The objective is to create a wine which both<br />
respects tradition and is a child of its own time, modern in conception.<br />

Isola di Salina (Messina) - FENECH<br />
The work of Francesco Fenech, founded on an ancestral tradition handed down over two<br />
centuries, continues to grow and mature amidst <strong>the</strong> strong colors of <strong>the</strong> fertile island of Salina<br />
– <strong>the</strong> intense green of <strong>the</strong> luxuriant vegetation, <strong>the</strong> deep blue of <strong>the</strong> sea, and <strong>the</strong> limpid azure<br />
of <strong>the</strong> sky.<br />
In 1996 he decided to bottle his own Malvasia, until <strong>the</strong>n sold directly from <strong>the</strong> casks in his<br />
cellars to passing cutomers, and acquired new vineyard land, part purchased and part leased,<br />
to bring his total holdings to seven hectares (17 acres) of appellation vineyards.<br />
The Malvasia delle Lipari grape has long been a part of <strong>the</strong> history of Eolian islands and gives a<br />
noble wine with intense aromas and a delicate sweetness, known as <strong>the</strong> “nectar of <strong>the</strong> gods”. Production follows ancient techniques<br />
perfected over time: <strong>the</strong> grapes are harvested when very ripe and laid out to dry in <strong>the</strong> sun on large mats of cane slats and<br />
pressed with classic beam presses.<br />
The generosity of nature, <strong>the</strong> respect <strong>for</strong> its cycles and seasons, and <strong>the</strong> adoption of biological cultivation methods, toge<strong>the</strong>r with<br />
very low production, all unite to create wines of maximum quality levels.<br />

Siracusa - PUPILLO<br />
The Pupillo estate, fonde in 1908 by Baron Antonio Pupillo, occupies a good part of <strong>the</strong><br />
territory which once constituted <strong>the</strong> fiefdom of Targia, its three principal farming properties<br />
(Targia, Targetta, and Targione) and <strong>the</strong> five towers of Solacium, constructed by Holy<br />
Roman Emperor Frederic II of Swabia. The estate is located between <strong>the</strong> Ionian Sea, <strong>the</strong><br />
ruins of Castle Eurialo, and <strong>the</strong> walls erected by Dionigi when , in its period of maximum<br />
splendor, Syracuse became <strong>the</strong> center of Magna Grecia, defeating in battle on various occasions<br />
both <strong>the</strong> Carthaginians and <strong>the</strong> Romans.<br />
Its fertile soil, caressed by <strong>the</strong> breezes of <strong>the</strong> sea and <strong>the</strong> Mediterranean sun, gives a unique<br />
character to all that is cultivated on it, unmistakeable colors, flavors, and aromas.<br />
The Moscato of Siracusa, a legendary wine, was born in <strong>the</strong> period of Greek colonization of sou<strong>the</strong>astern Sicily, particularly Syracuse,<br />
in <strong>the</strong> seventh and eighth centuries B.C. Historian and oenologist Landolina Nava (1783-1818) thought to identify it with <strong>the</strong> wine of<br />
king Pollius of Syracuse, produced from <strong>the</strong> suave and fragrant grapes of a vine which he had brought to Syracuse from Thrace, <strong>the</strong><br />
region he was originally from.<br />
The last quality production of this Moscato which can be documented won a prize at <strong>the</strong> Paris International Exposition of 1900.<br />
In 1973 <strong>the</strong> production rules <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> Moscato di Siracusa appellation were approved in 1973 even if official production, at <strong>the</strong> time, was<br />
virtually non-existent.<br />
This rare wine now reappears on <strong>the</strong> Italian wine scene after many years of absence precisely due to <strong>the</strong> ef<strong>for</strong>ts of <strong>the</strong> Pupillo estate,<br />
which is to be applauded <strong>for</strong> bringing back to life one of <strong>the</strong> most venerable wines of recorded history.<br />

Linguaglossa (Catania) - SCILIO<br />
The vineyards of Tenuta Scolio stretch over <strong>the</strong> north-eastern slopes of Mount Etna in Sicily at<br />
an altitude of 650 meters (2200 feet) above sea level. Here <strong>the</strong> cultivation of <strong>the</strong> vine is a tradition<br />
handed down from generation to generation. In this territory, <strong>the</strong> favorable synergy of <strong>the</strong> volcanic<br />
soils, <strong>the</strong> fresh and mild climate, <strong>the</strong> low yields per hectare, and <strong>the</strong> deep dedicatrion to <strong>the</strong> work<br />
of <strong>the</strong> cultivators all combine create unique wines, of truly distinctive character. The Scilio family<br />
has worked in this tradition <strong>for</strong> over four generations, channelling its ef<strong>for</strong>ts towards modern and rational viticultural and enological<br />
techniques. Without, however, losing sight of <strong>the</strong> precious and far-sighted labor of <strong>the</strong>ir <strong>for</strong>efa<strong>the</strong>rs who, with <strong>the</strong>ir work in time,<br />
shaped <strong>the</strong> landscape of <strong>the</strong> lovely Galfina valley and selected <strong>the</strong> grape varieties best suited to <strong>the</strong> character and vigor of <strong>the</strong> site.<br />
The wines are produced exclusively from grapes grown in <strong>the</strong> estate’s own vineyards and fermented in <strong>the</strong> cellars of a farmhouse<br />
dating from 1815. Here <strong>the</strong> wines are carefully aged as well until <strong>the</strong>y reach <strong>the</strong>ir maximum harmony and balance. The result of<br />
this constant commitment and patience are felt in <strong>the</strong> typical notes of <strong>the</strong> viticulture of Mount Etna, <strong>the</strong> perfume of <strong>the</strong> Carricante<br />
and Catarrattograpes , <strong>the</strong> velvety elegance of Nerello Mascalese.<br />
In <strong>the</strong> bottles of <strong>the</strong>se wines <strong>the</strong>re is not only <strong>the</strong> hard work and intense concentration of an entire year, but <strong>the</strong> result of a long<br />
and risky fellowship between man and <strong>the</strong> volcano, tested over time from generation to generation …<br />

Isola di Pantelleria (Trapani) - TERRE DI PANTELLERIA<br />
The estate was founded in 2005 due to <strong>the</strong> inspiration of Luca D’Amico, a man with strong ties to of<br />
Pantelleria, an island in a middle of <strong>the</strong> Mediterranean Sea, a stopping-off point between Sicily and<br />
North Africa and a center of commerce with <strong>the</strong> East. It was from North Africa that <strong>the</strong> Moscato<br />
d’Alessandria grape, named <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> city of Alexandria in Egypt, was introduced onto <strong>the</strong> island, where<br />
it gives a wine – produced from raisined grapes - of unique characteristics which <strong>the</strong> ancient Romans<br />
called Passum. The vines are cultivated according to old traditions, on rocky terraces and buried 30<br />
centimeters (over a foot) below ground level in order to protect <strong>the</strong>m from <strong>the</strong> impetuous<br />
winds which regularly sweep over <strong>the</strong> island. The Moscato di Pantelleria is produced, even in our time, with <strong>the</strong> old technique of<br />
laying <strong>the</strong> harvested bunches on <strong>the</strong> black volcanic rock of <strong>the</strong> island, which absorbs heat during <strong>the</strong> day and releases it during <strong>the</strong><br />
night to dry and raisin <strong>the</strong> grapes.<br />
Luca D’Amico and his fa<strong>the</strong>r are tenaciously committed to maintaining this patrimony, both physical and historical-cultural, and to this<br />
end have recovered a series of parcels of land, some inherited from <strong>the</strong> family and o<strong>the</strong>rs acquired after <strong>the</strong>y had been abandoned by<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir <strong>for</strong>mer cultivators. The total property consists of 16 hectares (40 acres) of Moscato d’Alessandria, five of Pignatello, an ancient local<br />
variety of uncertain origin, and six of olive groves and caper cultivation.<br />
Enologist Antonio D’Aietti, himself a native of Pantelleria and with thirty years of experience with <strong>the</strong> island’s wines under his belt, assists<br />
<strong>the</strong> family with his winemaking counsels.<br />

Nuoro - GABBAS<br />
The estate of Giuseppe Gabbas extends over a total surface area of 25 hectares (over 60 acres),<br />
fifteen planted to vines and three to olive groves, and is located, at altitudes which range <strong>for</strong>m<br />
240 to 350 meters (800-1150 feet) above sea level, in <strong>the</strong> mountainous Barbagia area in Sardinia.<br />
The granite-based soils are deep, but are sufficiently permeable due to <strong>the</strong> working of <strong>the</strong> soil<br />
be<strong>for</strong>e <strong>the</strong> planting of <strong>the</strong> vineyards and olive groves, and retain <strong>the</strong>ir moisture even in <strong>the</strong> extended<br />
dry spells which characterize <strong>the</strong> Sardinian climate. The micro-climate of <strong>the</strong> zone, influenced by breezes both from <strong>the</strong> Mediterranean Sea,<br />
a mere 20 kilometers (12 miles) away, and from mountainous terrain fur<strong>the</strong>r inland, is characterized by cool evenings and nights.<br />
This creates an ideal eco-system <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> vine and reduces <strong>the</strong> need to spray against plant diseases in <strong>the</strong> vineyard; <strong>the</strong> only substances used<br />
are <strong>the</strong> “Bordeaux mixture” of copper, sulphur, and lime, along with powdered sulphur. The rational organization of <strong>the</strong> vineyards, and <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
fairly small extension all aid in a high quality viticulture based on short pruning and low yields, both practices aimed at bringing out all of <strong>the</strong><br />
varietal character of <strong>the</strong> grapes.<br />
The principal variety is Cannonau, with smaller percentages of Merlot, Montpeulciano, and Cabernet Sauvignon. This small and<br />
dynamic property, in a territory with a very important viticultural potential, achieves constantly excellent results, with wines of<br />
real elegance and territorial personality difficult to match.<br />

Sardegna<br />
Monti (Sassari) - PEDRA MAJORE<br />
The estate is directed by <strong>the</strong> five Isoni bro<strong>the</strong>rs, who have decided to continue a three generationold<br />
family tradition of viticulture. The various life experiences of <strong>the</strong> bro<strong>the</strong>rs, and <strong>the</strong><br />
various specialized competences aid in a continuous growth of agronomical, enological, and<br />
entrepreneurial abilities, united to a firm and humble belief in constant experimentation, in <strong>the</strong> need<br />
to constantly learn.<br />
The estate is located in <strong>the</strong> heart of Gallura on Sardinia’s nor<strong>the</strong>rn coast, a name which derives from<br />
<strong>the</strong> Hebrew word “galil”, or height, as if to emphasize <strong>the</strong> mountainous nature of <strong>the</strong> terrain, <strong>the</strong><br />
important presence of hard granite rock, smoo<strong>the</strong>d and polished over <strong>the</strong> millennia by wind, rain,<br />
and sea, elements which give <strong>the</strong> landscape a highly original physiognomy. The Vermentino grape, which spread from Spain all over <strong>the</strong> western<br />
Mediterranean, to <strong>the</strong> coasts of Liguria and Tuscany and to many of <strong>the</strong> islands, arrived in Sardinia in <strong>the</strong> late 19th century. In this area, baked by <strong>the</strong><br />
sun and difficult to cultivate, constantly swept by winds from <strong>the</strong> north, it gives wines of much originality and personality.<br />
The symbiosis with Gallura and its environment is constantly more felt in <strong>the</strong> wines: <strong>the</strong> quality of <strong>the</strong> product is an expression of <strong>the</strong> territory<br />
because <strong>the</strong> Isoni bro<strong>the</strong>rs are particularly concerned to create alliances and synergies with o<strong>the</strong>r producers on <strong>the</strong> island, those of a comparable<br />
level of competence and quality, in order to fur<strong>the</strong>r promote <strong>the</strong> wines of Gallura and and create a larger a more diversified public <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> wines.<br />
All <strong>the</strong> wines are produced from local grape varieties and derive from a certified biological agriculture.<br />

THE LABEL<br />
How to read a italian wine label according to current legislation:<br />
Name of wine (a private choice of <strong>the</strong> producer, but note that <strong>the</strong> name of a specific vineyard<br />
- vigna or vigneto - can only be used <strong>for</strong> DOC or DOCG wines and <strong>the</strong> producer must<br />
keep <strong>the</strong> grapes used <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong>se wines separate from his o<strong>the</strong>r grapes in <strong>the</strong> official cellar<br />
registers required by law).<br />
Place names can only be used <strong>for</strong> wines if authorized by <strong>the</strong> competent authorities of <strong>the</strong><br />
specific production zones and appellations.<br />
D.O.C. and D.O.C.G.<br />
Name of <strong>the</strong> controlled appellation (DOC): e.g. Barbera d'Asti<br />
Or<br />
Name of <strong>the</strong> controlled and guaranteed appellation (DOCG): this wine must, by law, have<br />
<strong>the</strong> official strip of guarantee of quality on <strong>the</strong> capsule of each bottle. The strip, which has a<br />
specific and sequential number, is released only after a asting commission has approved <strong>the</strong><br />
lot of wine to be bottled. The number does not refer in any way to <strong>the</strong> quality of <strong>the</strong> wine.<br />
The fully written (i.e. not abbreviated) words " Denominazione di Origine Controlla" or "<br />
Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita" are to be written at a height of one<br />
third of <strong>the</strong> specific name of <strong>the</strong> appellation.<br />
The EEC term V.Q.P.R.D.(Quality Wine Produced in a Specific Region) can be used, as it<br />
signifies D.O.C. or D.O.C.G., but this term cannot substitute ei<strong>the</strong>r D.O.C. or D.O.C.G.<br />
Vintage date, i.e. <strong>the</strong> year of <strong>the</strong> harvest of <strong>the</strong> grapes (e.g. 2004 or "Vendemmia<br />
2004")<br />
Imbottigliato all’ origine da ("bottled at <strong>the</strong> source by")...:<br />
when <strong>the</strong> word origine ("origin") is utilized, <strong>the</strong> wine must be produced solely from <strong>the</strong> grapes<br />
of <strong>the</strong> proprietary vineyards of <strong>the</strong> bottler.<br />
Imbottigliato da ("bottled by")...:<br />
when <strong>the</strong> word origine ("origin") is missing, this indicates that <strong>the</strong> bottler purchases ei<strong>the</strong>r<br />
<strong>the</strong> wine or <strong>the</strong> grapes from o<strong>the</strong>r growers or producers.<br />
Take care when reading phrases such as "imbottigliato dall’Azienda Agricola" ("bottled by <strong>the</strong><br />
agricultural estate"), which would seem to indicate a grower-producer, but could also mean<br />
an estate which grows grain and bottles wine. In <strong>the</strong> absence of <strong>the</strong> word origine ("origin"),<br />
<strong>the</strong> phrase means that <strong>the</strong> estate purchases, ei<strong>the</strong>r wholly or in part, <strong>the</strong> grapes or <strong>the</strong> wine.<br />
Phrases such as imbottigliato nella zona di origine ("bottled in <strong>the</strong> appellation"), prodotto e<br />
imbottigliato da ("produced and bottled by"), imbottigliato nella zona di produzione ("bottled<br />
in <strong>the</strong> production zone") are no longer permitted.<br />
The name of <strong>the</strong> township where <strong>the</strong> bottling firm is legally domiciled must be indicated<br />
after <strong>the</strong> name of <strong>the</strong> bottler. The law does not permit <strong>the</strong> indication of <strong>the</strong> province, which<br />
can be determined by an officially registered number of <strong>the</strong> bottler, printed and visible on<br />
<strong>the</strong> cork.<br />
After <strong>the</strong> name of <strong>the</strong> township come <strong>the</strong> word Prodotto In Italia ("produced In Italy") and<br />
<strong>the</strong>, a second time, Italia ("Italy").<br />
The words must be printed in type which is at least 2 millimeters in height.<br />
There is, in addition, <strong>the</strong> indication of <strong>the</strong> “e comunitaria”, which indicates that <strong>the</strong> bottler<br />
guarantees <strong>the</strong> declared quantity of wine in <strong>the</strong> bottle: 0,375 liters – 0,750 liters etc.
L’ETIQUETTE<br />
The alcohol content which is indicated cannot be expressed in tenths of a degree, but<br />
must be rounded off, with a maximum tolerance of 0.1° <strong>for</strong> wines which are slightly lower<br />
than <strong>the</strong> declared content and 0.5° <strong>for</strong> wines with more than <strong>the</strong> declared content, e.g. 12°,<br />
12.5°, 13°, 13.5° etc. There<strong>for</strong>e a wine with an official alcohol content of 13.5° according to<br />
<strong>the</strong> chemical analysis of <strong>the</strong> wine can be declared as a wine with 13°, just as a wine with<br />
12.9° can also be indicated as having 13°.<br />
Degrees are expressed in terms of volume - 13° Indicates 13% by volume<br />
Note that many estates use one label to communicate a certain image of <strong>the</strong> property and<br />
a back label which corresponds to <strong>the</strong> official legal requirements. The legal label is <strong>the</strong> one<br />
which contains <strong>the</strong> terms required by law, independently of all es<strong>the</strong>tic questions.<br />
It should be noted that lots not approved by <strong>the</strong> D.O.C.G. tasting commissions cannot be<br />
declassified to D.D.C. status but can only be sold as Vino da Tavola.<br />
Producers, instead, can decide to declassify <strong>the</strong>ir wine from <strong>the</strong> D.O.C.G. to D.O.C of <strong>the</strong><br />
same production zone (appellation) be<strong>for</strong>e submitting <strong>the</strong>ir wine to <strong>the</strong> tasting commission.<br />
For example, a wine legally entitled to be <strong>the</strong> name D.O.C.G. Brunello di Montalcino can be<br />
declassified by <strong>the</strong> producer to D.O.C. Rosso di Montalcino.<br />
I.G.T. (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) Wines<br />
It should be kept in mind that <strong>the</strong> Indicazione Geografica Tipica ("Typical Geographical<br />
Indication") name guarantees that <strong>the</strong> grapes are grown in <strong>the</strong> indicated area, but without certain<br />
legal guarantees and controls which are part of <strong>the</strong> system of rules of D.O.C. and<br />
D.O.C.G. wines: e.g. limits of yield per hectare, minimum required aging periods, periods of<br />
bottle aging be<strong>for</strong>e commercial release etc. The name of <strong>the</strong> I.G.T. utilized must in any case,<br />
be authorized by law. The grapes varieties of <strong>the</strong> wine - up to a maximum of three - can be<br />
indicated on <strong>the</strong> label. The indication of <strong>the</strong> vintage is allowed, but not required.<br />
For <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r specific phrases used on labels (degrees of alcohol, bottler etc.), <strong>the</strong> same rules<br />
as <strong>for</strong> D.O.C. and D.O.C.G. wines apply. The sole Italian region which, by an autonomous<br />
decree, has not permitted <strong>the</strong> use of <strong>the</strong> name I.G.T. is Piedmont.<br />
Table Wines (Vino da Tavola)<br />
According to current law, this is <strong>the</strong> lowest category of wine which can be produced. It is<br />
<strong>for</strong>bidden by law <strong>for</strong> Table Wines to indicate ei<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong>ir vintage date or <strong>the</strong> grapes used <strong>for</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> wine.<br />
