Gattinara is an austere and complex wine, capable of decisively communicating the balance between its important harshness and its persuasive notes. The Gattinara DOCG terroir, of only 100 hectares of vineyards, has been devoted to the vineyard for over 7 centuries.

Zibibbo has a history spanning thousands of years: it has Egyptian origins and after this first long adaptation to the North African coasts, Zibibbo was brought to western Sicily by the Phoenicians and the Greeks, becoming one of the most widespread and interesting varieties of the western Mediterranean around 800-700 aC During the Roman Empire the variety was also exported to other regions of southern Europe. Zibibbo is known in Sicily mainly by its Arabic denomination, Z'bìb, which simply means "raisins".
The name derives from the "black berry" fruit and from the Syracusan city of Avola. Nero d'Avola on the island was introduced several centuries ago by colonizers from Greece and then it adapted perfectly to this new environment so as to become the most famous and important black grape variety in Sicily. Until the first half of the 20th century, Nero d'Avola wine was used almost exclusively as a blending wine, in recent decades Sicilian winemakers have started the production of this wine alone with truly excellent results.
Grillo is a white grape variety widespread above all in western Sicily. The probable origin lies in what Baron Mendola wrote in 1874: “white Catarratto seed artificially fertilized with Zibibbo in the flowering of 1869 in my Piana dei Peri vineyard near Favara […] . The same wrote also in 1904 "I hybridized the common Catarratto of Sicily […] neck Zibibbo, to be able to make a more aromatic Marsala". The Grillo initially finds its origin in the Marsala area and then in the other provinces of the island. Il Grillo is capable of giving wines with a high alcohol content and then having the vocation of being particularly predisposed to ageing. The best Marsala is obtained by vinifying Grillo.

Although the ruby color of young Nerello Mascalese is quite pale, here we find an extra point of density. It's not a casuality. The concentration offered by the old vines can be seen right from the colour. Then the nose. Closed in the first phase, it opens slowly offering first delicious notes of small red fruit, then much more. And then here's the strawberry, then the blueberry, a touch of currant. And yet another spicy nuance, an earthy, acrid, almost bloody hint and then again an undergrowth finish. The mouth recalls in the flavors everything that the eye and nose have anticipated. The wine is enveloping, the texture creamy. However, excessive softness is never felt, on the contrary. The mineral salts of the soil give a textbook sapidity, the acidity of the mountain is felt all right. And then the tannin, fine, well blended with the material, capable of giving rhythm to the sip. Final of great depth, clean elegance.

This wine was born in the vineyards of Villa Broglia, planted in 1989 for the birth of Filippo, Piero's son. These vineyards are located in the municipality of Gavi which, due to their splendid position, allows for the production of high quality grapes. It is a wine characterized by fresh, fruity aromas, with a nuance of white flowers and a characteristic note of almonds. Ideal wine for Mediterranean cuisine.
This classic traditional method sparkling wine is in the tradition of the Gavi area. Cortese grapes have always been the basis for the best "blanc de blancs" of Piedmont. We bottled this wine that comes from grapes from our own vineyards after an early harvest.
It is only from the best vintages that this great wine is born, which comes from the vineyards of the Tenuta La Meirana, planted between the years 1952 and 1953, after a selection of the best bunches harvested by hand and transferred to the cellar in wooden boxes. The 2010 harvest was characterized by regular flowering in the first ten days of June and a windy summer with high temperature variations between day and night. These particular conditions gave the wine a great structure, excellent sapidity and intense aromas of flint and almonds. Here, following an aging in small "sur lie" steel tanks for 108 months, our "Vecchia Annata" comes to light.
This wine represents the best production of Meirana. It is obtained from the grapes of old vineyards planted in the years 1953 and 1955. The average yield of the vineyards in the various harvests is from 30 to 40 quintals per hectare. The grapes are harvested in wooden boxes and transferred directly to the presses so that the bunches arrive intact. These, due to their rich structure and acidity, make it possible to obtain a great wine suitable for storage, maintaining its aromas and freshness over the years. The name Bruno Broglia is in honor of the founder of the farm. This selection, recognized as one of the reference white wines, gets important national and international awards every year. It was also served as the only white wine at the Gala dinner, for the G20 in St. Petersburg, in the presence of the greats of the Earth, held on 5 September 2013. Bruno Broglia has a straw yellow color with greenish reflections, brilliant: the bouquet very persistent finish, fruity and reminiscent of the aristocratic scent of the grapes from which it comes. It goes well with both fish-based dishes and shellfish where it brings out the characteristics of haute cuisine better.
The Meirana di Broglia is the most important and representative product of the company's production, a gavi among the most classic and appreciated in the world. La Meirana is not just the name of a wine, it is the main Estate of the Cellar.

For the vinification of this wine, 30/40% of the grapes are left to dry in wooden boxes for over a month. The remaining grapes are left on the plant and are then harvested when overripe, when the berries begin to darken and dehydrate naturally. The grapes are destemmed and the must is left in contact with the skins for 24-28 hours at a temperature of 12°C to allow the wine to accentuate its varietal characteristics and to acquire the golden yellow-amber color typical of this vine . The refinement takes place for 60% for 6 months in steel tanks, 40% 6 months in 300 liter oak barrels and ends with 2-4 months in the bottle.
Straw yellow in colour, it has an intense aroma of green pepper, tomato leaves, passion fruit and peach. It is a wine with a fresh, lively, harmonious and velvety flavour.
After the destemming and crushing, the crushed grapes are cooled immediately at a temperature of 12°C and left in contact with the skins for 12 – 16 hours. In this period of time the natural enzymes of the must allow a release of the aromatic components, linked to the skin, accentuating the structure and the typical varietal characteristics of the vine. After this period, the must is delicately separated from the skins and fermented intact, without clarification, at a controlled temperature for about 14 days.
The ruby red color with purplish reflections that fade with ageing. Intense bouquet, which evokes wild blackberries, wild berries with winy and vegetable notes. Strong flavour, the tannins are integrated and the finish is pleasantly bitter. Refosco dal peduncolo rosso is an ancient Friulian vine, perhaps the best Friulian variety of red berried grapes.
A small part (25%) is vinified in white; a part about 40% is placed in cold maceration for 36 hours, for a greater extraction of the pink part. For both, a soft pressing and a start with indigenous fermentation then helped halfway through the addition of a small amount of selected yeast to complete the fermentation. The remaining part of the grapes is pressed, cooled to 7 degrees and left to macerate until the indigenous fermentation begins (usually 5 to 6 days). The macerated product is placed in a press and squeezed at minimum pressure, the must thus obtained continues its fermentation in traditional 2nd and 3rd passage barrels, in non-toasted oak with a capacity of 5/7 HL. One month before bottling, the three different vinifications are combined to form a single wine.
PIGNOLO BUTUSSI FRIULI VENEZIA GIULIA Grape variety: pure Pignolo Winy, tannic taste, reminiscent of raspberry. It is a wine to be discovered. Wine for meat dishes of Friulian cuisine, especially it prefers the ciàr in padiele (beef stew). Serving temperature: 16 – 18° C
This ancient vine is the pride and joy of Friuli, the grapes are harvested manually and differentiated according to maturation with twice-weekly passages and takes place throughout the month of October. For the vinification of this wine, 10% of the harvested grapes are vinified in the classic way, soft pressing, settling and controlled fermentation. The remaining 90% of the grapes are left to dry for over a month, losing about 40% of the weight. The highly concentrated must obtained is fermented in small oak barrels, where it remains until the summer. Then the two wines are blended and aged for another 4 months in steel barrels. The refinement takes 6-8 months in the bottle.

A Riserva with an austere and solemn character, which reaches the qualitative peaks of the entire range created by the Valentino Butussi farm. This "Santuari" is a Cabernet Sauvignon DOC where the balance between taste and aroma makes the sip incisive and expressive, denoting its great evolutionary potential over time. The carefully selected grapes, after harvesting, ferment in oak barrels thanks to the use of indigenous yeasts. Then we move on to the refinement, carried out for two years in oak barrels with a capacity of 300 liters; after bottling, the wine further ages in glass for 12 months. A label that interprets the Colli Orientali del Friuli terroir with a niche production, where excellence and aging capacity go hand in hand, giving us a red wine of great value.
