Our first hectare, the one from which the history of Pecorino began. The first parent of Colle Vecchio is today dedicated to Guido Cocci Grifoni and to the bottle that bears his name. It is our most recent version of Pecorino, a wine made in a few numbered specimens, in memory of who, where and when. And not to praise or glorify the past, but to photograph a moment of our past that has become present and future. Using descriptors today, for a wine that will have a life of more than ten years, seems almost out of place. Only a few notes therefore, to give a reference, a trace of his first, very young expressions. Among our whites it is certainly the fullest, the most saline, the most present and the softest. It opens with notes of ripe apple and then moves on to intense and fleshy yellow flowers. The aromatic herbs come forward decisively, accompanying a fascinating scent of star anise.
A milestone of our hills brought to light thanks to the adventurous spirit of Guido Cocci Grifoni. Some wonder who took over the lead.

Il Trentino è una terra indubbiamente vocata alla produzione di basi spumanti. Se si aggiunge una produzione artigianale e rispettosa delle tradizioni ecco che si ottiene TRENTODOC, ovvero il metodo classico trentino.è da questi presupposti che nel 1986 nasce METHIUS TRENTO DOC grazie all’amicizia tra due amici enologi: Carlo Dorigati ed Enrico Paternoster. Il Trento Doc Methius è prodotto solo nella tipologia riserva, a sottolineare la qualità eccelsa di questo prodotto e la sua unicità. La cantina d’invecchiamento, ubicata a Mezzocorona (Trentino), risale ai primi del 1900, è completamente interrata e costruita con i “volti a botte” quasi tutti in pietra squadrata. Qui le bottiglie di Methius sostano per 60 mesi, a temperatura e umidità pressoché costanti tutto l’anno. Il nome “Methius” deriva dalla ricerca di un toponimo locale che accomuna l’origine del prodotto aziendale al territorio di nascita. L’etimo del nome scelto si perde nella storia. Si sa che già nel 1150 (Principe Vescovo e Mainardo II conte di Tirolo) il nome delle due borgate site nella “Piana Rotaliana” erano: Methius Coronae (oggi Mezzocorona) e Methius Sancti Petri (oggi Mezzolombardo) ove il radicale comune “Methius” deriva dal celtico e latino volgare.

The taste is full and velvety thanks to the soft tannins that characterize it. Ripasso is a traditional practice which involves, after pressing the dried Amarone grapes, the refermentation of the pomace on a vintage wine. The subsequent refinement takes place 50% in tonneaux and 50% in steel for a period of about 8 months. The best grapes from the various owned vineyards are located in the hilly area of Montecchia di Crosara, in soils rich in skeleton and mainly calcareous. A great wine with excellent value for money.
The Soave Classico "Monte Alto" is a soft and fragrant white wine from the Veneto region, which the aging on the lees in barriques and oak barrels has contributed to rounding out. On the nose emerge aromas of flowers, yellow fruit and almonds. The sip is enveloping, fresh and intense, with a good structure. The "Monte Alto" belongs to the group of crus of Ca' Rugate, historic company of the Tessari family, born in the heart of Valpolicella, between Monteforte d'Alpone and Montecchia di Crosara, and witness for over a century of a viticulture closely linked to local traditions and local vines. Spread over an area of over 4000 meters and divided over 3 levels, the cellar allows the company to concentrate all the processes of vinification, refinement, bottling and storage in a single location. The owned vineyards, located on the Rugate hill which gives the company its name, are cultivated partly with the Veronese pergola system, partly with the guyot system. On the south-facing slopes, where the cultivation of vines finds particularly favorable conditions, the soil is basaltic and rich in clay and silt. The area is vast and rather homogeneous, with characteristics that have made it possible to identify particular micro-areas, suitable for obtaining a fresh, balanced, persistent Soave Classico with great personality. These are the territorial premises that give rise to this warm and soft wine, with a structure capable of supporting a remarkable evolution after a few years of age, the Soave Classico "Monte Alto" is produced with the best grapes from the vineyards of Monteforte d'Alpone, bringing with it a varietal expression of extremely high quality which thus seals the great relationship established over time between the Ca' Rugate company and the hills of Soave.
Gaiun is the part of the Martinenga vineyard that looks towards Asili, facing south-west; it is vinified on its own because it enjoys some differences both in the microclimate and in the soil that make it unique compared to the rest of the vineyard.

The Franciacorta DOCG Cuvèe Brut "Alma" by Bellavista comes from the skilful union of about 60 of the 120 harvest selections obtained in the cellar. About 100 selections come from the same harvest and are identified with extreme care in 107 parcels distributed in 10 different municipalities of Franciacorta ("horizontal assembly"). To this vast patrimony of olfactory and gustatory variants are then added the aromas and flavors of particular "reserve wines" from different vintages ("vertical assembly"). A unique cuvée, which with its elegant complexity represents the most complete and often mysterious soul of Franciacorta.
It is told through a sensory profile that evolves giving altogether sapidity, freshness, finesse, elegance and agility: the result is simply superlative, given by the Franciacorta Non Dosato "Alma Grande Cuvée", labeled Bellavista . A bubble that wants to become the symbol of the purest essence of the lands of Franciacorta, proposing a sip with which Bellavista drops its mask, retracing its history in a contemporary key. Here then is that every detail - label included - becomes a reference to the concept of harmony, both external and connected to the precious content. The apparent - and intended - aesthetic minimalism, again, finally connects with a Franciacorta that remains suspended in time, as if to recall the impossibility of finding glasses of a similar caliber.
Pecorino by Emidio Pepe is a white wine with a great personality, full-bodied and intense, which gives us floral and yellow fruit notes on the nose, with a herbaceous finish. The sip has a very pleasant mineral note and a vertical taste of great persistence.
