Orefice Vini
Pronounced oh-reh-fee-cheh, Orefice translates as goldsmith. It’s also the name given to a house established by five friends from winemaking families, who see the indigenous grapes of Abruzzo as gold to be sculpted and guided into artwork in the bottle. Their independent vision has seen them establish their tiny winegrowing operation in the low hills […]
Tenuta Alzatura
Towards the end of the 1990s the Cecchi family identified three different vineyard sites in the Montefalco area, bringing them together to form Tenuta Atzatura. Monterone, San Marco and Atzatura are their trilogy, all terroirs capable of producing distinctly different versions of the indigenous grape of the region, Sagrantino. This dry-toned, savoury, bold and tannic […]
Il Vignaiolo
In Italy, il vignaiolo, ‘the winemaker’ is much more than just that. Caretaker not only of wines but tradition, they are the natural recipient of generations of experience passed through decades and sometimes centuries, by the families who live on and by the land. Il Vignaiolo is also a project to assemble expressive, geographically typical […]
Belpoggio
Belpoggio was established on a historic vineyard site in Montalcino in 2005 by Enrico Martellozzo and his wife Renata Rami, herself a great lover of the region of Tuscany and its wines. This tiny estate is located on some exceptional terroir in the village of Castelnuovo dell’Abate, sitting pretty at 400m above sea level on […]
Vallepicciola
At the end of the 1990s, the Bolfo family began renovations on the ruins of a 17C convent and its surrounding vineyards within the UGA of Castelnuovo Berardenga, to the Siena end of the Chianti Classico area. The estate is quite large – 265 hectares including 105 hectares under vine – with various terroirs but […]
Villa Rosa
Villa Rosa’s vines extend over 30 hectares in Castellina in Chianti at altitudes between 225 and 425 metres. The Cecchi Family purchased the property from the Lucherini Bandini Family in 2015, after their careful stewardship over 70 years. As soon as the company was purchased, a meticulous project of soil profiling commenced, consisting of in-depth […]

Eighty years after the family business was kicked off by Alfredo Nugan, and just over 20 since bottling […]
Le Potazzine
Le Potazzine is a small estate of only about five hectares, divided between Brunello di Montalcino DOCG and just a few kilometres to the south at Sant’Angelo in Colle. The vines sit at 507 and 420 meters above sea level respectively and were planted between 15 and 30 years ago. The Potazzine team focus on […]

The key is the partnerships with small family farms that have been in the […]
