Our ground
Six regions
to begin with.
Each one holds a landscape, a habit and a character worth the detour.
01
Tuscany
Hills, cypresses and sangiovese: from Chianti Classico to Brunello di Montalcino, wines built for the table.
02
Piedmont
Nebbiolo, Barolo and Barbaresco: a region that rewards patience and rarely forgives a shortcut.
03
Veneto
From Prosecco bubbles to the weight of Amarone, a generous region with a bottle for most occasions.
04
Sicily
Sun, sea and the lava of Etna: nero d'Avola, grillo and a growing list of surprises.
05
Puglia
Primitivo and negroamaro carry the heat of the south into soft, generous reds.
06
Umbria
In the green centre of the country, sagrantino and grechetto make wines with edges.
