Antica Masseria Jorche

Five generations of hospitality and winemaking

The history of Jorche winery begins in the early twentieth century with the Gianfreda family and its “palamientu”, the oldest form of organized cellar.
Today, the 5th generation of Gianfreda winemakers - sisters Dalila and Emanuela Gianfreda - dedicate themselves with curiosity, creativity and enthusiasm to the historical winery. Together, the two Gianfreda sisters have been the first ones to bottle their wines, valorizing their own brand and territory, and exporting it with pride to the world.

Bonfante & Chiarle

Wine, by tradition

Bonfante & Chiarle was born in 1908 in Mombaruzzo, but it was structured in its present form in 1975 by Luciano Chiarle, Giorgio Chiarle and Domenico Bonfante, following in the footsteps of the work of their grandparents and fathers, all winemakers, for whom viticulture represented their passion and their whole life.

The Langhe, Roero and Monferrato wine district of Piedmont - where Bonfante & Chiarle produces its wines - is an extraordinary territory for wine production and was recognized in 2014 as a UNESCO world heritage site.

Thanks to their passion for quality and loyalty to the territory, over time Bonfante & Chiarle has become a leading producer in the Piedmont wine market, establishing itself as a reliable partner for both Italian and foreign clients.

Ciù Ciù

A story of authenticity

Ciù Ciù wines are the authentic expression of the company’s commitment and tradition, the result of research and quality in both the vineyard and in the cellar, but also of a natural wine-growing ecosystem of quality with a “terroir” (microclimate, soil and subsoil) that is unique and irreplaceable.

The winery’s commitment to tradition, along with the conviction that wine should be the most authentic expression of the land, provide the basis of a vast range of wines: from the Passerina and Pecorino grape varieties indigenous to the Marche region – rediscovered thanks to the efforts of just a small number of winemakers – to the more well known Montepulciano, Sangiovese, Merlot, Cabernet, Barbera, Pinot and Chardonnay.

De’Ricci

Preserving the history of the Ricci family

The Ricci family was born in 1150; Palazzo Ricci, one of the most beautiful Renaissance palaces of Montepulciano, was commissioned by Cardinal Giovanni Ricci in 1534 and was completed in 1562. The Cantina De’Ricci was part of the project for the Palace. Today, the  Trabalzini family owns the Cantina De’Ricci winery but pay homage to the Ricci family through the Cantina’s name.

The grapes destined for the production of the Cantina De’Ricci wines originate from 30 hectares of vineyards that the winery possesses and are situated in 3 areas, among the most suitable areas of Montepulciano’s territory for producing wine: Ascianello, Nottola (Croce), and Fontecornino. The wines produced at Cantina De’Ricci are a result of the combination of technology and tradition, and they convey the storied history of Montepulciano. 

Enotria

Simplicity, Authenticity & the Land

Cantina Enotria was founded in 1974 by three local entrepreneurs: Cataldo Calabretta, Gaetano Cianciaruso and Armando Susanna. Their desire was to create an artisan cellar: to grow grapes, process them and market them, establishing direct contact between farmer and consumer.

Today the brand is owned by the Susanna family.

The production philosophy of the company remains as it was at the beginning: to produce a democratic and accessible wine, a wine for the people, a wine that brings back to the table the pleasure of simplicity, authenticity and the land. 40 years of experience. A lifetime.  

Feudo Disisa

History meets winemaking

The Di Lorenzo family, of English origins, was brought to Sicily by King Ruggiero da Silvestre Di Lorenzo. The Archpriest Santi Di Lorenzo, who had a passion for agriculture, acquired the Feudo Disisa estate following the proclamation of the Kingdom of Italy in 1865, and left it to his nephew Nicolò Di Lorenzo.

The family, now in its fifth generation, has always directly managed all estate activities with innovative ideas, while maintaining respect for tradition and the territory. Today the company is run by Renato Di Lorenzo with the support of his wife Maria Paola, son Mario and daughter Laura, all personally involved in the company activities and commercial developments.

Fiamberti

Liquid history of a land

Fiamberti is a family-run winery with a more than 200-year tradition in winemaking: its history dates back to 1814 with the purchase of the Solenga vineyard, one of the many crus of the estate. Since then, eight generations of the Fiamberti family have carried on this tradition.

The winery is located in the southern part of Lombardy, in Oltrepò Pavese, one of the largest and historical Italian wine regions. The estate vineyards, grown with sustainable methods, lie on the sunny steep slopes of the hills of Canneto Pavese, a small town in the Versa Valley, where vine-growing has always been the major activity. Fiamberti wines are a delicious blend of tradition and passion. 

Il Barlettaio

Chianti Classico Proudly from Radda

In 1995, Francesco Bertozzi set out to transform his family’s vineyards into what is today Il Barlettaio. The property is situated 500 meters above sea level in Radda, the highest municipality in the Chianti Classico district. This altitude gives Il Barlettaio wines their distinctive freshness and fine, highly complex aromas. 

The cultivation process at Il Barlettaio is marked by the family’s respect for their land and their grapes. As a certified organic winery, Il Barlettaio limits the use of copper and sulphur in the vineyards, instead integrating other natural products to protect its vines. The soil of the Il Barlettaio estate is typically Tuscan macigno, alberese and galestro, which lend the wines their refined tannin structure and entrancing richness of flavor. The family’s keen attention to the vineyards and to the cellar means all wines are refined at length before going on sale. Above all, Il Barlettaio is committed to producing delicious wines that are a reflection of its proud Radda heritage. 

Nuovi Poderi

Sardinian Roots, International Soul

The Cantina Nuovi Poderi is a young, family-run company that was born 15 years ago out of the family’s love for its extraordinary territory, Sardinia, which is rich in traditions, culture, good food and excellent wine. The family’s desire to preserve cultural and territorial riches and spread them beyond Sardinia prompted them to start building Cantina Nuovi Poderi in 2008. In 2022, their dream was fully realized with the complete renovation of the cellar. 

Immersed in the Trexenta area, Nuovi Poderi’s vineyards are located in hilly areas cooled by constant ventilation from the north and sea breezes from the south. This climatic combination, added to traditional cultivation techniques and combined with an avant-garde winemaking process, creates exceptional-quality wines. Production is monitored by a highly experienced, innovative winemaker, ensuring products with great structure and personality. The vines used have been chosen with extreme care from the native ones of Sardinia in order to create a refined blend without forgetting the ancient flavors of Nuovi Poderi’s winemaking tradition.

Ronco Margherita

A story of love and wine

Ronco Margherita’s founder Alesesandro Bellio started working in the vineyards of Veneto in 1995. Three years later, he fell in love with the region of Friuli Venezia Giulia and decided to move there, where he led an important Friulian winery as winemaker for seven years.

Among the vineyards Alessandro met Margherita, a gentle and reserved girl who shared Alessandro’s passion for the land and wine. The result was a solid and deep love from which was born the idea to open his own winery: Ronco Margherita, which has lovingly produced wine in Friuli Venezia Giulia since its founding in 2009.

Seiterre

Territory and tradition

Five generations of the Rizzi family have passed down a strong bond with their territory and nature as well as a deep respect for traditions. Luigino Rizzi, the current owner of the winery, operates the "Seiterre" Brand together with his sons who represent the fifth generation of Rizzi family winemakers.

The desire to obtain the highest quality wines pushed the Rizzi brothers to acquire new land holdings in some of the best regions for wine production. Today, Seiterre’s authenticity is based on the Rizzi family’s love for cultivation, their will to make wine naturally, and their attention to their consumers.

Trevisiol

Father and sons take up a family tradition

The Trevisiol family has been making wine in the Selva del Montello area of Veneto for 200 years. In 1934, Liberale Trevisiol parted from the family firm and developed his own winemaking and sparkling wine cellar in Feltre and subsequently in Valdobbiadene, where Trevisiol’s company headquarters is still located today. In the mid-80s, the third Trevisiol generation - Liberale’s grandsons Luigi and the current director Dr. Paolo - took over active management of the firm, and since 2010, Paolo’s sons Marco and Dario have been actively engaged in the family business, poised to lead it into its third century.
