Originally Venetian wine traders in 1912, the Fabiano family moved to Verona in 1956 to produce wine on a larger scale, sourcing fruit from Estate and contract vineyards in Soave, Bardolino, and Valpolicella.
The name “Settimo Miglio” carries a deep meaning. The Fabiano is exactly seven miles from the Verona Arena. The distance measured
according to the tradition of the ancient Romans inspired the name of the wine, representing its close connection with the wine heart of the region. This Pinot Grigio is characterized by delicate minerality, balanced by lively acidity that lends freshness to the wine.

From vineyards located in the hills of Valpolicella Classica, with particular interest in the municipalities of Negrar and S. Pietro in Cariano, on loose red soils with good presence of limestone, this is a wine of ancient origins (hence the historic label) for its conception, where the Ripasso technique represents the tradition of Valpolicella and allows to obtain a wine with a singular complexity and personality.
The name Cielo e Terra (literally Sky and Land, or Heaven and Earth) recreates a perfect marriage, where Heaven is represented by the family of the same name and the Land is identified with the expert hands of the winegrower partners working in the vineyards that yield these wines.
The grapes for this red wine grow in IGT Puglia. The grapes are picked early (hence Primitivo) to ensure the freshness, and youthfullness of the fruit.
Over the centuries, the Jouffreau family at Clos de Gamot, has cultivated vines, produced wine and lived to the rhythm of the moments of glory or misfortune of Cahors wine. The most serious misfortune came in 1882, with phylloxera that began to attack the Clos de Gamot vineyard: Guillaume Jouffreau had just saved the Clos de Gamot vineyard but also the entire Cahors vineyard that will be replanted largely thanks to the clones coming from the Clos de Gamot, a 15-hectare vineyard with a single grape variety, Malbec, on a magnificent clay-limestone-silica terroir, with pebbles and flint.
Clos de Gamot represents today the most ‘traditional’ aspect of Cahors, having been one of the most innovative in the region. No barriques here; the aging, which lasts about two years, is done only in the ‘Foudres’ and the ‘Demi-Muids’, producing wines that never play on the abundance of primary aromas.
Fattoria Il Muro has been owned by the Pancaro family for about 200 years and has always been dedicated to viticulture, thanks to the favorable environmental conditions. The presence of soils rich in galestro and the climate, characterized by strong temperature variations due to the proximity to the Alpe di Poti, create a micro-environment that enhances the organoleptic qualities and healthiness of the grapes. This allows for the adoption of environmentally friendly cultivation practices. The vineyards and olive groves extend mainly on hilly terrain that gently slopes towards the valley plain of the Castro stream.
The name of the wine is dedicated to the Castro torrent, a mountain torrent that flows down by our vineyards.
It can be consider a Baby SuperTuscan because of its «traditional» SuperTuscan blend, but unlike “Senior” Supertuscan wines, ageing takes place in used barrels and only for 6 months, so it remains fresh and extremely easy to drink.

The Pancaro family have known Stefano di Blasi privately for many years, well-known in the world of wine to be behind the helm of several vintages of Solaia and Tignanello from Antinori, and therefore also chose him as winemaker at this house’s Chianti Riserva.

The name Lama comes from the name of a close “podere”, in which the family of a farmer used to live during the old times of “mezzadria”. “Mezzadria” was an old way to conduct the farm which envisaged the division of land into small lots (podere) inhabited and cultivated by peasants who paid the estate owners with half the product of their land.

At Fattoria Il Muro they started to call their Chianti, Spigallo, in 2011, when they changed the farm’s image and decided to adopt a cock pecking a sheaf of wheat as their logo. The decision was made because they found this picture in their villa since in the past it was used as the family crest. The name Spigallo is a pun because it’s the union for the Italian words “spiga” (sheaf of wheat) and “gallo” (cock) which are both in the final, symbolic logo.

Magali is an easy drinking rosé named after the Estate’s commercial director, the second Combard daughter in the family. Since the acquisition of Château Barbeiranne in 2019, it is a blend of two very beautiful terroirs: La Londe’s schist soils with maritime influence and Pignans’ claylimestone soils, in the inland valley of the Var.
Finca La Emperatriz is a winery with an extensive vineyard estate in Rioja Alta.
Viñedos Hermanos Hernáiz is the new project of brothers Eduardo and Víctor, who in 1996 acquired Bodega La Emperatriz, named as such because the first owner of these plots was Eugenia de Montijo, wife of Napoleon III and Empress of France. With this new emphasis and with new projects at hand, the winery changed its name but its high-end wines retain the Finca La Emperatriz signature, the name of the ‘viñedo singular’ they come from.
Until the end of 2019, the range of wines under the “Finca La Emperatriz” label included nine wines made with grapes from different vineyards of the same name, and when the grapes from a harvest ran out, the wine was no longer available. These wines have been replaced by this new selection with the Finca La Emperatriz Viñedo Singular Tinto taking the place of the Finca La Emperatriz Crianza and Reserva wines.
From 2019, the D.O.Ca. Rioja established a new geographical indication classification system that seeks to value the terroir as a recognition of the quality it brings to the wine. This means there are three new classifications: Viñedo Singular, Vinos de Municipio and Vinos de Zona.
Finca La Emperatriz Viñedo Singular Tinto is made with clusters from old vines aged between 50 and 65 years old from the Finca La Emperatriz vineyard, which has white boulder soils over a sandy-loam structure. These characteristics are perfect for vine cultivation and add an elegant touch to the wines.
