Alvio gave a strong impulse to the development of the business, cultivating a passion that he transmitted to his children, who for years have supported their father in the management of the company.

Today Andrea and Giulia, sons of Alvio, represent the 4th generation of this family. With pride and competence, they are committed to combining tradition and innovation in the management of the company. Agronomic choices are based on the principle of integrated crop management and great attention is paid to each stage of processing to keep the quality of the fruit high. The goal is to produce high quality wines and work to ensure that each bottle represents the maximum expression of that wine.

Peri Bigogno

Wine region: Lombardia
Area: Castenedolo (Brescia)
Square: 15 He
Quantity: 150 000 bottles
Owner: Peri family
Agronomist: Giacomo Groppetti
Enologist: Alessandro Santini
Wine type: white, rose, red
Grape: Chardonnay, Marzemino The history of Peri Bigogno winery goes back to 1946 when Graziella and Adriano Peri moved to Castenedolo and purchased Palazzo Togni.
The vineyards that already surrounded the Palace and the historic underground cellar convinced Adriano to continue the tradition of viticulture and wine production.
Already from the early years, the white and red wines produced on the hill by the Peri family began to gain appreciation.

Since 2008, with the entry of Adriano’s son, Andrea, started a new phase for the winery with entering 3 continents in just a few years.

In 2012, the inauguration of the new and modern winemaking area and the entry of his wife Francesca marked a solid foundation on which to continue to grow for the winery, now led by the third generation.

In 2021 the winery started making wines following Low Histamine protocol with the level of histamine not higher than 0.5mg per litre. Current range includes a white Chardonnay (slightly ages in oak), Rosato from the local grape Marzemino and Red from the same local grape Marzemino.

Today, Pier Luigi’s daughter Lia Tolaini Banville continues his dream of making Tuscan wines that honor the distinctive terroir of Castelnuovo Berardenga. Lia is preserving the impressive legacy of Pier Luigi while bringing new ideas and innovation to the Tolaini Estate.

Donna Laura estate is a separate estate also belonging to Tolaini family that is taken care of by the same enologist and agronomist as the Tolaini estate.

Avventura

Wine region: Lazio

Quantity: 55 000 bottles
Owner: Stefano Matturro
Agronomist: Enrico Carli
Enologist: Daniele Proietti
Wine type: white, red
Grape: Cesanese, Passerina, Pinot Noir

L’Avventura, a family-run company, born in 2015 from the passion of Gabriella and Stefano and from the idea of producing 1000 bottles to give to friends. Today the company has come to produce around 50,000 bottles. The logo embodies the fundamental values of the company: The tree, symbol of life and vitality, the tractor representing hard work and the first step of an important evolution for the agricultural world. Grapes because L’Avventura was born to make wine. Two hands that join as a symbol of solidarity, of creation, of something that belongs to the human being. The company has around 12 hectares of land.

The vineyards range from 250 meters above the sea level to 400. The operations in the vineyard are manual. Organic Regenerative Agriculture is practiced and L’avventura also has a certification for organic wines.

Two native vines are cultivated here: Cesanese (d’Affile and Comune) Passerina del Frusinate (the typical Ciociaria white wine). The Cesanese del Piglio DOCG denomination, to which the winery belongs, is located in southern Lazio, in the province of Frosinone, and extends to the borders of Rome. The vineyards have a prevalent exposure to the south and west and the strong daily temperature variations help the development of the aromas. The territory of volcanic origin has very different compositions (with a strong clay component) and their properties define sub-areas capable of influencing the characteristics of the grapes of the wines produced.

Today it is run by the son-in-law Luciano Pira, agronomist and cellar professional, supported by the wife Maura and by the brother-in-law Walter. The estate and the surrounding area were traditionally worked by sharecroppers (tenant farmers, who work land that’s rented from its owner.). The local dialect for sharecropper is “schiavenza” which should give one a clue as to the style here; this is no modern “barrique” aged Barolo estate. The Barolos here are aged in the traditional large Slovenian barrels called, using only natural yeasts and fermenting the wines in cement cisterns. The estate covers approximately 8 hectares split between Serralunga and Monforte D’Alba and includes the heralded crus Prapo, Bricco Cerreta, and Broglio.

Monticino Rosso

Fattoria Monticino Rosso is a family-run winery. It was founded in 1965 thanks to Antonio Zeoli, who in that year bought the first plot of 13 hectares, called the “Olmo” winery. In the following years Antonio was joined by his sons Luciano and Gianni, now both at the helm of the company, and in 1985 the family acquired the “Monticino Rosso” winery, of 24 hectares, adjacent to the first and which will then give the name to the entire estate. The farm is located on the hills of Imola, on the border with the municipality of Dozza, where the production of sparkling wines from Emilia gives way to the still and impetuous wines of Romagna. “Monticino Rosso” was already clearly identified in the cadastral documents drawn up during the Napoleonic domination with the name of “Monticino dei meli granati” and for at least a century it was the property of the lords Codronchi Torelli, a noble family from Imola, whose well-being and culture have allowed harmoniously shape the landscape. And it is with a sense of gratitude towards those who have had the privilege of owning and loving these lands, preserving in them the cultivation of traditional vines, that Luciano and Gianni Zeoli wanted to give one of their most significant wines, the selection of Albana di Dry Romagna, the name of “Codronchio”.

Agronomist: Gabriele Ress
Enologist: Giorgia Brugnara

It was in 1956 when 11 Trentino farmers combined forces to create the Cantina Sociale in their city with an objective defending and promoting the area and its products thanks to the union of those who live and work in the area every day.

The original idea was a winner and the increase in the number of members and the quantity of grapes produced and delivered bears witness to this fact.

As early as 1960 the original site in via Verdi was abandoned in favour of a new site in via Fermi, where the Cantina Sociale di Trento remained until 2009.
Today the new site is in via dei Viticoltori, in an area surrounded by vineyards to the south of the city. Built in accordance with sustainability criteria it meets the needs required by today’s standards: production that is compatible with the environment and aimed at continuous quality improvement.
The vineyards that cover an area of 650 hectares are the “garden” of Trento. The rolling hills that surround the ancient city of Tridentum are the privileged place the grapes of Cantina Sociale Trento grow.
Cantina Sociale Trento makes wines from traditional local grape varieties: Riesling, Muller Thurgau, Lagrein, Teroldego, Gewurztraminer, Marzemino etc.
