Fattoria La Monacesca
The Monacesca was founded by Casimiro Cifola amongst an old convent in 900 by the Benedettini Monks. An area of vines spread over thirty hectares, with grapevines covering grounds facing North South, a rare position amongst the Marche valleys, with big thermal excursions that make the wines deep and complex. A host of expressive wines for a healthy territorial expression.
Fattoria Coroncino
A sequence of charismatic wines, tied closely to the territory and possible thanks to a Biocompatibility Repeal for using chemical weed killers or anything else that may be toxic to the vines. Both the Verdicchio and the Bacco Gaiospino usher away the competition with their quality and price convenience.
Bucci
The wines by Ampelio Bucci are great in their pureness and charm of which the wine itself wants to relay, interpret and love. In the Bucci company the only word used is tradition, experimenting with a very healthy organic culture. Only large vats and the choice of long ageing in the bottles to make the wines as harmonious as possible.
Bonci
A unique sovereign principle characterises the different labels of Verdicchio di Bonci, the quality. A family that have been proudly assisting this elegant Verdicchio for generations, looking after it in one of the best orientated sites there is.
Ampelaia
In the 60’s, Erica and Peter Max Suter, a Swiss couple, bought the abandoned farm and turned it into a rural estate with woods and pastures, breeding sheep and pigeons as well as planting a vineyard; soon the Meleta winery (in Italian, ‘Meleto’ is an apple orchard and the winery was named after the orchard on its land) was known for its wine and products. It was at that time that Cabernet Franc and Merlot were introduced to Roccatederighi. Ampeleia is born from the synergistic blend of different grape varieties sourced in vineyards found on the hillsides dominated by the town of Roccatederighi, in the heart of Maremma. It embodies this land from the chestnut woods on higher ground, through the Mediterranean scrubland, to the lower fields with cork-oak woods. Six grape varieties are blended in this wine aspiring to represent the Mediterranean tradition of cultivating diversity.
Altesino
44 hectares located in five different sub-areas. At the forefront of the interpretation of the territory, Altesino began in the ’70s thanks to the initiative of a group of Milanese entrepreneurs. Since 2002 it has been owned by the Gnudi Angelini family, which continues its work with passion and sagacity.
Villa di Capezzana
In Carmignano, the vine was already cultivated in the pre-Roman era, about 3000 years ago, as evidenced by the wine pots and tasting cups found in the Etruscan tombs. In the Florence state archives a parchment dated 804 has been found: it is a lease contract which documents how already 1200 years ago in Capezzana olive trees and vines were grown for the production of oil and wine. In the early Renaissance a woman, Monna Nera Bonaccorsi, built the first “house of Lords” and nine farm houses with the relative viticultural plants; it was 1475. Other generations and families took turns in the estate: the Cantucci, related to the Medici, and the Marquises Bourbon del Monte. In the eighteenth century a Cantucci married Bourbon enlarged the farm and bought new farms; he also introduced an exemplary administrative method, whose documents are still preserved today in the company’s historical archive. After the Bourbon del Monte the company passed to the Adimari Morelli and then to the Franchetti Rothschild and, by the widow Sara de Rothschild, and then to the Contini Bonacossi, our Family, in 1920.
Grattamacco
Un vino dettatato dal terroir. Ricco, longevo e mediterraneo, frutto di una perfetta sinergia tra vigna e cantina. In cantina si opera l’esaltazione della materia prima attraverso una fermentazioen artiginale in tini troncoconici.
Guado al Tasso
Every yearly vintage, every terrain, every idea that somebody wishes to use is a new beginning, a new search for pushing the boundaries of quality that are ever more higher. The Marquis Antinori expresses a passion for winemaking by always looking for those ever smaller margins of improvement. For this reason they carry out experiments in the vineyards and canteen selecting clones of autochthonous and international grapes, types of cultivation, vineyard altitudes, wine growing techniques traditional and modern, different types of wood, dimension and age of vats and the prolonged refinement of the bottled product.
I Fabbri
A company born from the passion for the pursuit of quality, love for nature and respect for traditions. Already in the 1600s the Grassi family produced wine and oil, on the enchanted slopes of the renowned Lamole hills, in the heart of today’s Chianti Classico region, just above Greve. Generation after generation, experience and work lead the farms of the Grassi family to an absolute qualitative excellence in the production of wine and oil.
