Nada Giuseppe

piedmont

The winery and vineyards of Nada Giuseppe are situated in Treiso, one of the 4 villages in the Barbaresco D.O.C.G. zone, where the wine Barbareso hails from.

The estate vineyards are approximately 9 hectares(22 acres) in size and includes the well known crus of Casot and Marcarini; which are two of the oldest and most prized vineyards in Treiso.

In 1964, shortly before the Barbaresco D.O.C. was officially recognized in 1966, the winery made the transition from selling it's wine in bulk to estate bottling.

In 1968, the family moved the winery from the old farmhouse in Casot, up the hill to Marcarini where they built a new winery.

Over the years the family has continuously updated the winery throughout with technical improvements while at the same time keeping their traditional winemaking philosophy.

Tenuta Rocca

piedmont

The screenplay takes place in a magnificent farmhouse dating back to the 18th century surrounded by the rigorous geometries of the vineyard amphitheaters of the Ornati area that face the Maritime Alps.

Tenuta Rocca rests on the solid foundations of the process of affirmation of almost four decades, and today it can count on the guidance and perspective vision of Andrea and Chiara, the third generation. Respect for the ecosystem and the “know-how” in the vineyard, the historical heritage of the Piedmontese vignerons, has led the company, in modern times, to the organic management of the vineyards.

Our enormous passion leads to a huge commitment: protecting the territory through our work. Since 2013 the Tenuta Rocca estate holds organic certification for the entire vineyard area: neither chemical products nor fertilizers are used in the running of our vineyards. Also in the wine cellar, all of the wine making processes have organic certification and the same goes for our wines.

Nicosia

sicily

Back in 1898 Francesco Nicosia, the great-grandfather of the current owner, decided to open his first wine shop in Trecastagni, on the eastern slope of Mount Etna. This was the golden age of Etna wines, which – even then – were renowned and esteemed across Europe for their minerality and “volcanic” personality.

Towards the end of the twentieth century, however, the family came to an entrepreneurial watershed, thanks to the tenacity, courage and innovative spirit of Carmelo Nicosia, the current owner. Investing heavily in expanding and restructuring the vineyards, and building a modern winery, he helped transform the family business into one of the leading players in the renaissance of Sicilian wine in Italy and around the world.

Nicosia is a dynamic, modern and efficient company that looks towards the future, but without forgetting tradition. It is headed by Carmelo Nicosia, assisted by his sons Francesco and Graziano and a close-knit team of young people such as enologist Maria Carella, who fully interpret the company spirit.

Promoting the best winegrowing areas in Sicily while fully respecting the environment, focusing on the finest native varieties and the international cultivars that can best adapt to Sicily, promoting the best raw material by selecting the best grapes and lavishing enormous care on work in the cellar. A long and exciting path towards quality, in order to produce wines that represent the finest in Sicilian enology.

Máté

tuscany

Located in San Restituta – a highly desirable area of Montalcino, well-known for producing terroir driven wines of distinct expression – Máté is a family owned, organically certified estate, situated between Angelo Gaja and Gianfranco Soldera, two titans of the industry. Furthermore, the vineyards themselves were planted by none other than Fabrizio Moltard, Angelo Gaja’s agronomist, with the clones selected by Pierre Guillaume.

Situated at an altitude lying somewhere between 320-420 metres, the six and a half hectares of vines are grown on a soil composition made up of marl, galestro, tuffo, limestone and calcareous sandstone, with marine fossils also running through the vineyards, all of which lend their part to this unique and highly individual terroir, like nothing else within the region.
