Cantine Pupillo - SICILY
The Pupillo Farm was founded in 1909 on the ancient fief of Targia, a site rich of Greek, Roman, Arab and Norman remnants. This fertile soil has always produced tasty fruits and vegetables, becoming famous over the centuries for wines of great quality. Nino Pupillo has devoted more than twenty years of his life to preserve the vineyards of his ancestors. His mission to cultivate and revitalize the indigenous moscato grape varietal is a labor of love that he has now passed on to his children. 110 years after acquiring this beautiful estate, Carmela and Sebastiano are leading the company with roots deeply set in the family tradition, yet trying to be innovative and sustainable.
Costaripa - Lombardia
It all started in 1936 with the deep passion of a man who, because he lived in an area with a historical vocation for “Rosé” wines, decided to launch on his own into winemaking and winery management. Mattia Vezzola senior thus purchased his first vineyards in Moniga in the “Costa” locality, where the current Costaripa winery was to be built about 60 years later. Costaripa is located in the heart of the Valtènesi in Moniga del Garda. The architecture of the place redesigns the features of the surrounding area and, through the use of natural materials, completely blends in with local morphology and colours, in total harmony with the surroundings.
Fattoria San Giuliano - Piemonte
Enveloped by the weight of history and the aura of grandeur, San Giuliano farm stands as a proud testament to the heritage of the Piemonte region. Its name, 'San Giuliano,' is deeply intertwined with the identity of the area, acting as a nod to the historic main city that shares its name. The Pastura lineage has been tied to the land for generations. But it was Giulio Pastura, alongside his wife Mariella, who made the pivotal decision to nurture viticulture on this historic land. Their collective vision breathed life into the Estate in 1987. Their fervor for the art of viticulture, coupled with a meticulous approach to winemaking, has been the driving force behind the Estate's steady growth. The fruits of their labor and passion have cultivated a legacy, transforming the vineyard into a living emblem of their devotion to the craft.
Derbusco Cives - Franciacorta
Erbusco is a small town in the vibrant heart of the Franciacorta area, in the north of Italy, cradling the finest vineyards that yield the distinguished Franciacorta DOCG. In this exceptional landscape, five friends joined forces in the autumn of 2004, fueled by a shared passion and a vision: to spotlight the unique qualities of Erbusco through a boutique wine project. Thus, Derbusco Cives - translating to "citizens of Erbusco" - was born, a name inspired by a 16th-century manuscript, itself derived from the Lombard word "der busche", meaning wood. As a young winery, Derbusco Cives is committed to pursuing uncompromised quality, even if it means limiting the number of bottles produced. Every phase of the winemaking process pays homage to time-honored techniques meticulously executed to ensure an exceptional end product.
