Azienda Agricola Gnirega di Pietro Clementi
Pietro Clementi is a Veronese lawyer who has been practicing for over 50 years. Originally from Illasi in the province of Verona, during the hard years of the Second World War, in the house of his grandparents, also lawyers, he became passionate about viticulture. Viticulture, in those years, was made up of oxen pulling the plow, harvesting grapes in wicker baskets and manual pressing. Precisely these artisanal gestures were the reason why the Veronese lawyer decided to become a winemaker.
In addition to the profession of lawyer, Pietro was also municipal administrator of Verona and mayor for over nineteen years of the municipality of Marano di Valpolicella. And it is in this town that he decided in 1969 to buy a manor house dating back to 1600, in the Contrada di Gnirega with twenty hectares of property, at the time divided into vineyards and woods.
The first steps in production were taken right under the small cellar of the house. In these years the lawyer was helped by his sharecropper called "Musciol", a mild and precise man, and by other producers in the area, including Santo Aldrighetti who for over thirty years has produced wines in Valpolicella.
Over the years he then began to make his way trying more and more to renew the structure, to get closer to the philosophy of grape selection and to replant the older vines with younger vines. The wine produced by the lawyer Clementi was intended for convivial moments with family or friends and for political moments, with his supporters, who during the events had the opportunity to taste "the Amarone del Sindaco".

The vineyards have a total extension of fourteen hectares and are located primarily in the "I Cottimelli" area at an altitude ranging from 380 to 450 meters above sea level. Here the land, predominantly exposed to the north-east, belongs entirely to the geological formation of S. Fiora (galestro), of Eocene origin and is made up of a prevalently stony skeleton.

No standardized operations are carried out every year in the cellar: de-stemming, pressing, punching down, pumping over and refinements are not sequential steps but unique interpretations that are careful to reveal and enhance what nature has shaped during the growth and ripening phase of the bunches.
The cellar is organized in such a way as to preserve those organoleptic values of the grapes, seeking those characteristics of uniqueness that Firriato wines, already in the conception phase, are able to express. At each stage, the team of technicians, cellarmen and all employees has the task of carefully preserving the excellence of a raw material which, for its integrity and organoleptic complexity, has no equal.
The state-of-the-art processing facilities, the refrigeration technology and the adequate capacities of the wine vessels are all ordered according to a production specification tailored to each batch of grapes capable of giving the wine in the glass that personality consistent with the identity of the territory from which it comes to life.

Like all “grown-ups”, who need no introduction, the Quintarelli family carries on over time the noble work of their grandparents Giuseppe “Bepi” and Franca with dedication and almost mystical reserve. In fact, there is hardly any indication to reach the winery, nor a company website, as if to protect an intimate and still magically familiar dimension.
Within the framework of a small family-run estate, Salvatore Ferrandes manages organically his terraced land on the island of Pantelleria, where the family, of Spanish heritage, has been present for more than six hundred years. The favorable climate, the generous fertility of volcanic soil and the careful craftsmanship in processing allow to obtain particularly high quality products such as capers, raisins and the Passito of Pantelleria.

Tassi di Montalcino Tuscan winery
The Tassi company finds its roots in the figure of Guido Franci, founder of the family. Guido, was born in Greppo in 1910 and since he was a boy he has worked as a sharecropper for the Biondi Santi family, taking care of the vineyards, the estate and the various activities of the farm.
Between the end of the 1950s and the beginning of the 1960s, after experimenting with different types of activities including bird making, he decided to devote himself full time to beekeeping, which has always been his great passion, founding the Franci company. .
Driven by the love for Montalcino and its land, inherited from his grandfather Guido, and aware of the need for continuous entrepreneurial innovation, in the following years Fabio began to manage the historic Enoteca located inside the Montalcino Fortress to which he then added other quality commercial and hospitality activities, seizing opportunities for growth and improvement every day.

Azienda Agricola Tornatore, winemakers in the blood since 1865
In 1910 Giuseppe, grandfather of the current owner, built a house with an adjoining millstone in the Piano Fiera district with adjacent 2 ha of vineyards to which another 2ha on the north side of Etna are added in the Piano Felci district at an altitude of 1,000 meters above sea level. A family with deep roots in the territory of origin, which in subsequent generations has never neglected attachment and respect for it and for traditions.
The company falls on the northern slope of Mount Etna, the highest active volcano in Europe. The soils are of volcanic origin and derive from the disintegration of the lava masses, ashes and lapilli.
Generally they are soils formed on the spot (native) or transported by rainwater, which in certain flat areas on the slopes of the volcano, have originated vast sandy, blackish, deep and very fertile extensions. The climate of the northern side of Etna is characterized by mild temperatures, affected by the influence of the mountainous reliefs to the north (Nebrodi mountains).
The result is a late environment as a result of the exposure and the prevailing altimetry which favor strong thermal excursions.
The combination of soil, climate and the wisdom of the winemakers have made the northern slope of Etna an ideal area for the production of wines of the highest quality but above all special and unique.
Producing a good quality wine is an art, and like a true art it requires Experience, Ability and Passion
The Vasari family has been involved in the production of quality wines since 1628 in the hills overlooking the valley of the Mela river in the municipalities of Santa Lucia del Mela and Merì.
A journey through time that, from generation to generation, accompanies the skilful and meticulous work of the Vasari family in the constant search for an exclusive product with authentic flavors.
History is a dip in art, it evokes events and emotions that have generated culture and passions, marking time and the generations that have followed.
It is precisely art, in all its facets, that inspired the Vasari family who, following their vocation, managed to create an indissoluble bond between the fruit of the intellect and that of the earth, transforming them into wine of great value.
Among the oldest in Italy, the cellar tells through its walls and those of the museum the story of a family but, above all, that of a territory that is the protagonist of great deeds.
Palazzo Basile-Vasari, today under the protection of Cultural Heritage, has welcomed illustrious names from Michele Basile (1832-1907), scholar and writer, to the futurist Ruggero Vasari (1898-1968), one of the major founders of the artistic and cultural movement of the twentieth century century.
Even today, the roots of culture influence the skilled work that Ruggero Vasari and his young nephew Michele carry out in the cellar with a modern and innovative vision.
