Guido Berlucchi – Pioneers in Franciacorta

Guido Berlucchi in Corte Franca is the founding and leading winery in Franciacorta. 

For more than half a century, at its historic headquarters in Palazzo Lana and under the vaults of its 17th-century cellars, it has been cultivating a dream that became a reality in 1961 when Franco Ziliani, a young and visionary winemaker, gave life with Guido Berlucchi to the first metodo classico in Franciacorta. That wine helped change the territory's future, giving birth to a DOCG that is now an international oenological phenomenon. The winery - led today by Franco's three children: Cristina, Arturo and Paolo - continues its pioneering work and innovation in the vineyards, placing itself at the forefront of biodiversity protection as well as in the cellar, where it houses the most advanced qualitative pressing plant in Italy.

Guido Berlucchi, à Corte Franca, est la maison fondatrice et de référence en Franciacorta.
     Depuis plus d’un demi-siècle, dans son siège historique de Palazzo Lana et sous les voûtes de ses caves du XVIIᵉ siècle, elle cultive un rêve devenu réalité en 1961, lorsque Franco Ziliani, jeune œnologue visionnaire, donna vie avec Guido Berlucchi au premier metodo classico de Franciacorta. Ce vin contribua à changer l’avenir du territoire, donnant naissance à une DOCG qui est aujourd’hui un phénomène œnologique international.
     La maison – dirigée aujourd’hui par les trois enfants de Franco : Cristina, Arturo et Paolo – poursuit son œuvre pionnière et son esprit d’innovation dans les vignobles, se plaçant à l’avant-garde de la protection de la biodiversité, ainsi que dans la cave, où elle abrite l’installation de pressurage qualitative la plus avancée d’Italie.

Since 1907, Bersano has kept one, clear vision: to bottle up the essence of Langhe and Monferrato's wine culture and convivial spirit and spread it across the globe. It's a bold goal: for many, an impossible feat – but for us, it's a commitment we strive to uphold every single day.
 

Arturo Bersano's visionary spirit ignited our journey. Following his legacy, the torch has been carried by the Massimelli family: first Ugo, and now, Federica, joined by her sisters and son. From the vineyard to the cellar to our museums: everything we do, we do for Piedmont. This means selecting and refining only the finest grapes of native varieties from our 230 hectares of vineyards – an invaluable viticultural heritage and a reflection of Langhe and Monferrato, one that allows us to reveal the diverse character of the region through our wines. But that's not all: we're also dedicated to preserving the farming traditions in our historic museums in Nizza Monferrato and our 10 farmhouses, farmsteads holding centuries of stories, capturing the essence of Italy's winemaking history. And it's not just about history - we're all about bringing people together. We’re enthusiastic promoters of the conviviality at the core of Piedmontese culture - our doors are always open for those who want to join us and learn more.

«A guarantee of land, people, and traditions». This is a creed we have embraced for more than a century, one by which we still stand, tirelessly working day in and day out to safeguard yesterday's icons - and forge tomorrow's.

The history of Cantine Fontezoppa began in 1999, founded by the Luzi family, local entrepreneurs deeply rooted

in the region and its riches and unique characteristics.

The name pays homage to an ancient water source that once flowed just outside the walls of the medieval village

of Civitanova Marche Alta, where today the rows of vines stretch between the picturesque Porta Marina and the

calm Adriatic Sea.

At the heart of Cantine Fontezoppa lies the richness of two places: the horizon of the Civitanova sea, which lends

minerality and distinctiveness to the white grape varieties and the native Ribona, and the heights of the Sibillini

Mountains in Serrapetrona, which guarantee freshness, structure, and aromatic complexity to the Vernaccia Nera

grapes, along with elegant international varietals.

From generation to generation, Cecchi Family has accompanied the historical journey of Italian wine, which, in less than a century, has gone from being a farmer’s food to a leading national brand, known and appreciated around the world.

Famiglia Cecchi are prestigious Tuscan wineries, with their historical headquarters based in Castellina in Chianti, Chianti Classico; this year Cecchi family celebrates 130 years dedicated to their mission: interpreting tradition and terroir, with unceasing commitment to enhancing company heritage, expertise and to a sustainable approach.Throughout time, the Family has invested in the major appellations in Tuscany and Umbria to experiment and create their own estate wines: today there are 5 estates: Villa Cerna and Villa Rosa in Chianti Classico, Val delle Rose in Maremma Toscana, Tenuta Alzatura in Montefalco (Umbria) and another estate in Montalcino (Siena) for the production of Brunello and Rosso di Montalcino.

Five generations of history and traditions, a long commitment of organic production since ‘80s, respecting the genuineness of the wine and the high quality of the grapes, whose certification came in 1991. These are the solid roots to which the Pizzolato family is linked and on which the entire production philosophy of the company is based. Settimo Pizzolato was certainly one of the first winemakers to choose an organic, vegan and sustainable management of the winery, in order to produce wines that meet the expectations of consumers particularly attentive to their health and that are produced with grapes grown in an uncontaminated environment, without the use of chemicals or animal products. The result today is a new winery built in green building few kms away from the city of Treviso in Veneto Region, in continuous movement and open to the public and its visitors, who can touch it with their hand through the Bio tours and tastings through the organic vineyards. A company whose focus is the continuous research and experimentation, today, of the resistant vineyards towards a 100% sustainable agriculture, beyond the organic world.

La Cappuccina has been organic since 1985 in the georgeous volcanic area of Soave, next to Verona Italy.

• The property takes its      name from the tastefully restored 17th century chapel, annexed to      VillaBuri-Tessari – where Capuchin friars once worshipped – that is the      estate’s s most striking architectural feature and whose silhoutte is the      company’s logo.
• We have 42 hectares of      vineyards owned and our range of wines      ranges from sparkling wines to sweet wines.
• We are present in the      best guides from Slow Wine to Gambero Rosso.
• We are associated with      Fivi, Federation of Independent Winegrowers.

All our wines are produced at origin, certified organic for over 40 years, Vegan certified and in biodynamic conversion, that’s why we’re considered Organic pioneers.
