The Cantina Produttori di Valdobbiadene Val D’Oca is one of the leading producers of Prosecco, the most famous Italian sparkling wine made with Glera grape, cultivated and vinified in the hills of Valdobbiadene, the birthplace of Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG. However Val d’Oca also produce Prosecco DOC coming from lands in the province of Treviso in a beautiful setting amid rolling hills between Asolo and Conegliano.
Prosecco Blu Millesimato is a terrific sparkling wine with an elegant floral bouquet and a magnificent mousse. Enjoyed chilled, it has the perfect balance between acidity and softness.
The story of the Viberti winery begins when Cavalier Antonio Viberti buys the Locanda del Buon Padre. It was the year 1923 when Antonio began to produce wine for the guests of his Locanda in the basement of the Buon Padre.
This wine is only made with Nebbiolo grapes from the single vineyard Bricco delle Viole, planted in 1964. Produced exclusively in particular years, only if considered suitable for the long again of the Riserva version, this wine has characteristics of marked minerality, freshness and evident balsamic notes.
Historical label of the Viberti family, it represents the essence of Barolo in its most classical and traditional expression. Born in 1923 by Cavalier Antonio Viberti, the wine was marketed under the name of the family restaurant: Il Buon Padre. Served exclusively on the tables of the inn, shortly after the end of the Second World War, Antonio began selling to the patrons and customers of the inn itself. Born from the union of Nebbiolo grapes from the vineyards of La Volta and Bricco delle Viole, today this label at a distance of almost a century, is the result of the skillful assemblage of 8 different crus, included between the municipalities of Barolo, Monforte d’Alba and Verduno. The grapes of different origins are harvested and vinified separately. The wines produced are aged in vats and barrels of French and Slavonian oak, which are not roasted exclusively; then the various wines are assembled and a few weeks after bottling. The style is characterized by a fresh acidity that comes from the highest vineyards, extremely traditional aromas and an impressive structure, but with soft and elegant tannins.
Last born in the Viberti house, her name is a dedication to Maria (twin by birth), wife of Giovanni Viberti, a woman of humble origins who made a fundamental contribution to the growth of the company and her family. Cook for over 50 years of the family inn, alias Buon Padre, tenacious and severe mother, and great passionate of Barbera, in 2004 observed how many of the most beautiful vineyards of Barbera had been substituted with the variety Nebbiolo, more profitable grape than the same Barbera considered for years the “wine of the poor”, thanks to a marked acidity and a difficult drinkability. The project stems from the intuition of Claudio, the youngest and newest son in the management of the family business, The plant of a new vineyard with a higher plant density is born. The goal, then achieved over time is a wine with a great concentration, a particular amiability and a nose with a clear and intense red fruit. The acidity that accompanies the concentration makes the wine extremely elegant and fascinating.

Produced from vineyards with more western exposures, it makes a maceration that does not exceed 12-15 days on the skins. The primary fruit and the floral are well preserved thanks to a weighted use of large wood for about 1 year and to follow an additional storage in steel for over 1 year before bottling. Soft tannin and great drinkability.
This is considered a “The Baby Barolo”, a younger style of Nebbiolo that can be enjoyed in its own right, and will encourage many consumers to go on to appreciate Barolo in the future. A fresh expression of Piedmont’s signature varietal, the Nebbiolo grape, and a approachable red with a pleasant fruity nose.

From Viberti’s new vineyard, historic Valdibà in Dogliani, this Dolcetto is truly expression of its soil characterized by calcareous clay and limestone.
The Kaiserbaum winery, based in Gerolsheim (Palatinate), was named after the purple-blue flowering Paulownia tree (Paulownia tomentosa), which parents Frithjof and Margit Hundinger planted in the courtyard of their winery in 1980 for the birth of their son Gerald. Legend has it that the mystical phoenix bird, which has symbolized immortality, luck and fertility since late antiquity, settles on this tree. The Hammel-Hundinger winery was founded in 1963 by Frithjof Hundinger Senior and has been in family ownership ever since. The winery was given its current name when the 2011 vintage was introduced. Its 25 hectares of vineyards offer a variety of soil types and microclimates. The company’s red wines are traditionally matured in wooden barrels, while the white wines are reductively fermented in stainless steel.
In the third generation, Gerald Hammel-Hundinger has taken the family business to a new level. From “easy drinking” to Piwi to ice wine, everything is produced here sustainably and to an extremely high standard. As a reward, the winemaker, who is certified as a “Partner Company for Nature Conservation”, won several gold awards, such as the “Best Winery Germany – Mundus Vini Summer Tasting 2023”.
“I am realistic, calm and clear in my ideas. My interest in new things and my creativity give me strength and allow me to go my own way.” – Gerald Hammel-Hundinger

Thinking differently is what they do at Yealands. Crafting award-winning wines in harmony with nature has seen us lead the world in sustainable winegrowing. But most importantly, it means great tasting wines which don’t cost the earth.
The S1 block Sauvignon Blanc comes from a sun soaked site, moderated by cool, coastal breezes on our Seaview Vineyard. The subsequent style and flavours reflect this terroir, with flavours of ripe nectarine and a lush, full palate balanced by mouth-watering mineral acidity.
At Yealands, the aim is to leave the land better than we found it. This is achieved through a wide range of initiatives and on-going projects including developing wetlands, making their own special compost and using natural pest control measures in the vineyards.
