Producer information on selected wines to be poured*:

Poggio al Tesoro Solosole
When you arrive in Bolgheri and begin to move along its most famous roads, the celebrated cypress-lined boulevard, the shady and evocative Bolgherese road, you realize that this is not flat terrain but rather a continuous series of terraces, rises, and declivities which, from the hills to the east, slope gradually and sweetly towards the sea. A world-famous area producing
wines that capture the imagination of a cosmopolitan clientele.

Pieropan
The Pieropan legacy began in the late 1800s when visionary winemaker Leonildo Pieropan purchased his winery building in the historic town of Soave. For over a century, the Pieropan family has revolutionized winemaking in Soave.

Tornatore 
Tornatore wines are produced by
one the oldest wine growing families on Sicily's Mt. Etna, a one-of-a-kind volcanic region that is one of Italy's most exciting appellations. Tornatore seamlessly melds generations of experience with modern techniques, using the highest quality native grapes in the Etna denomination from the region's most premium vineyards on Mt. Etna's northeastern slopes.

Allegrini
The best of Valpolicella shines in the wines of Allegrini, a family-run estate that has been working the land here in this beautiful corner of Northern Italy since the 16th century. Renowned in Italy and beyond as one of the country’s most elite and reliably excellent Amarone producers, Allegrini has been influential in giving this part of the Veneto a reputation for quality.

Renato Ratti
The King of Wines and the Wine of Kings. Such is the reputation of Barolo, one of the world’s most extraordinary and iconic wines. After a recent string of notable vintages, it lately seems that Barolo is the hottest topic for any serious oenophile. But those in the know have been celebrating Barolo for decades — especially the revolutionary work of Renato Ratti, whose Marcenasco Barolo was first released 50 years ago.

Argiano
From the time of Ancient Rome to the present day, the Argiano estate has made the history of the territory of Montalcino, becoming one of its most prestigious and traditional elements, a valuable ambassador for its wines in the world and proud to have contributed to the birth of the Brunello Consortium.
