STRAITALIAN WINEMAKERS QUINTESSENTIAL ITALY, WITH A DIFFERENCE BY ELLEN BUDGE PHOTOGRAPHS: COURTESY OF THE WINERY One of its flagship lines may well be called ‘crazy bottle’ – aka Bocciamatta in Italian – but StraItalian Winemakers and its managing director Gaetano Peragine have their feet firmly on, and in, the ground. STRAITALIAN FOCUSES ON RETAINING CONTROL OVER THE VALUE CHAIN TO OFFER THE BEST PRICES TO ITS GROWERS, AND ITS CUSTOMERS 110 SUMMER 2023 • GILBERT & GAILLARD - THE FRENCH EXPERTS ON WINE
ITALY FOCUS STRAITALIAN MANAGING DIRECTOR GAETANO PERAGINE ADVOCATES A TRANSPARENT, SIMPLE, AUTHENTIC AND HONEST APPROACH TO MARKETING THE COMPANY’S WINES S “ traItalian is not a conglomerate of producers”, stresses Gaetano Peragine, at the helm of a nevertheless tight-knit group of grape growers spread over seven Italian wine regions. “It’s a company that works with small grape growers from northern to southern Italy, and from east to west, making our own distinctive blends that will set us apart in the market and carry our brand”. Tostorreddu, an innovative blend of Carignano del Sulcis, Cannonau and Bovale which spends two years in barrels, is the ultimate epitome of this strategy. It means stubborn, by the way. ECONOMIES OF SCALE FOR SMALL PRODUCERS With a choice of 75 grape varieties, 600 hectares of vineyards and 12 brands to work with, the variations are endless but there are also numerous common threads. “The grape growers work the land then our in-house winemakers monitor the quality and deliver specifications about how we want the vineyards to be run, when we want the grapes harvested and so on”. Most of the wines are made at the winery in Castellina Marittima, where StraItalian also owns its own vineyards. “We are twenty miles from the port of Livorno so it’s very convenient for shipping abroad”, points out Peragine. This is no accident for a company that exports 95% of its 5.5 million bottles annually, and it aligns perfectly with its emphasis on the value chain and cost savings. “There SUMMER 2023 • GILBERT & GAILLARD - THE FRENCH EXPERTS ON WINE 111
