Located in the Italian Alps, Cantina Tramin is one of Italy’s top white wine producers, particularly renowned for exceptionally floral, spicy and elegant wines.
Established 1898 by the parish priest of Tramin, Cantina Tramin is also one of the oldest growers’ cooperatives in Northern Italy, with a profile based on the excellence of its aromatic white wines. The owners of the winery are 160 small grower families, who tend to vineyards of 270 hectares in total in the area in and around the village of Tramin. Tramin is situated in the dynamic winegrowing region of Alto Adige/Südtirol that combines a brisk alpine climate, mountain viticulture and complex geology with the brilliance of Mediterranean sunshine. Especially in Tramin, the significant diurnal temperature variation in summer and early autumn extends the ripening period well into September and October. From all these factors evolve extremely intense flavoured, mineral and elegant wines.

The identity of our wines is a meticulous and calculated sum of the nature of these soils, hillside vineyards and a specific microclimate, and a careful selection of indigenous grapes. Forty hectares planted with vines in the Soave hills with soils of volcanic origin, we are located in one of the best soils in the Soave area for growing vines. Out of respect for the place where we live and out of love for nature itself, we cultivate vines with the utmost care for the natural environment. In the hills of Valpolicella, we have eight hectares of flaky limestone soil, a very cold area influenced by the cold currents of the Lessini Mountains.
These soils and this climate contribute to the complexity of the wines of the following varieties: Garganega and Trebbiano di Soave in the Soave production area; Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella and Oseleta in the extended Valpolicella area.

This winery intertwines its history with that of Soave and the Soave wine, the symbol of this area, known and appreciated by all wine enthusiasts. The winery was founded at the end of the 19th century, and today Andrea and Dario, sons of Leonildo who passed away in 2018, are working to continue the legacy of this historic brand, which continues to produce authentic, genuine, and territorial wines born from the family’s love and passion for the land. An example of this is the Soave Classico “Calvarino,” which captures the heart from the very first sip. With an area of 80 hectares, 60 in the Soave area and 20 in the Valpolicella area, the company produces about 700,000 bottles per year, approximately 65% of which is exported to 55 countries worldwide.
There are three locations: the historic winery inside Palazzo Pullici, in the heart of the Soave village, where all stages of production took place from the founding until 2018; the Tregnago winery, within the setting of Villa Cipolla.

Perla del Garda was born from an ambitious idea: to bring vineyards back to the morainic hills of our farm.
Our production philosophy is based on a fundamental principle: wine begins in the vineyard, responding flexibly to the climatic conditions of each vintage with the care and wisdom of our farming tradition. We produce the most important DOP wines of our region: Garda, Valtènesi, and Lugana. Our winery primarily works with Turbiana grapes and interprets the Lugana DOP disciplinary in all its tipologies. We also produce red and sparkling wines of Garda DOP, and, since 2021, Valtènesi DOP rosé—typical wines of the Brescia province. Our vineyards cover 48 hectares, cultivated with organic and sustainable farming practices, certified by EQUALITAS (Valoritalia), SQNPI, and Sidel Organic. Our wines are crafted using processes and infrastructures aligned with sustainability principles, in compliance with the “MAKE IT SUSTAINABLE” technical specifications.

Braida is Raffaella’s contagious laughter and Giuseppe’s absorbed expression. A brother and sister whose genes and gestures reveal the heritage of an exceptional Italian wine family. A heritage that they consolidate and expand every day, working hard and sharing its fine fruits with their wonderful team, their hometown, Rocchetta Tanaro, and all those who love their wines. Braida is the “wood of thoughts”, up there in Montebruna, and the vine rootings lined up and ready to give life to a new Barbera vineyard at Asinara. Biodiversity and production rigour, genius, imagination and respect for tradition. Braida is the story of Barbera – from the lightest and most carefree expression to the deepest and most sensual – and the unprecedented adventure of the white wines of the Langa, Nascetta, Chardonnay and Riesling. Braida is the dream of Giacomo Bologna, that Raffaella and Giuseppe, with hard work and dedication, have made into a solid, happy and beloved reality.

Born and raised in Asti, Matteo’s reputation for producing elegant, terroir-expressive wines comes from his vast experience in some of the Langhe’s most iconic wineries. Now Frasca’s Winemaker and Director, he leads the shared vision of discovering the untapped potential of Barbera and the Nizza Monferrato zone, ultimately paving the way for Frasca La Guaragna. Our property consists of 22 hectares, embracing the municipalities of Nizza Monferrato, Agliano Terme and Moasca. The heart is La Guaragna Estate, where the new cellar is going to be built.

The Vajra family has farmed Bricco delle Viole, the highest cru in Comune di Barolo, since the XVII century. At the young age of fifteen, Aldo Vajra embraced the dream to revive his family legacy. Displaying a vision and commitment belying his young age, he took over the estate in 1968, turning a new page. Aldo acquired the first organic certification of the region(1971), created private biotype selections(selezioni massali) of Nebbiolo and Dolcetto, pioneered the renaissance of Freisa(a noble yet forgotten local grape, in 1980) and the cultivation of Rhine Riesling in Piemonte(1985). High elevation vineyards are a unique factor to the Vajra wines, for their attitude to express finesse and remarkable complexity over power. Attention to details and humility towards the nature, uncompromised efforts and humanity: so are Aldo and Milena, joined by their children Giuseppe, Francesca and Isidoro, and an amazing team of young professionals. G.D. Vajra is an independent winery family-owned.

Fèlsina is a variety of climate, of landscape, of soils. Its various vineyards are characterised by different soils and microclimates, unique in their particularity. From this extraordinary variety comes Sangiovese di Fèlsina, or Sangioveto, the Tuscan word that identifies its origin.
A set of variants – soils and clones – that constitute a precious asset to be handed down to future generations. This is why, since 1983, we have worked, together with oenologist Franco Bernabei, on mass selections that have allowed us to consevate an important heritage of different Sangiovese grown – cru – in Fèlsina, through a long experience of work and experimentation, because the combination of vine-soil is an essential element of the history and future of Fèlsina.
Since 1993, then, Giovanni Poggiali has been overseeing the replanting and planting of new vineyards, giving greater depth to research on this vine in the growing conviction of the family and its collaborators that terroir is indeed a geological fact, but even more a social issue.
In this sense, the preservation and enhancement of Sangiovese is the constant work that gives meaning to the word tradition. A custom of gestures and experiences that older farmers have been able to renew in their encounter with modern viticulture and authoritatively pass on to younger ones. This agricultural and cultural context justifies the decision to vinify Sangiovese in purity, a choice that is not only ideological, but an awareness matured through long experience of work and experimentation, in which the union of vine and soil is an essential element.

Ours is a story like many in the wine world, a family story, and that is what makes it, at least for us, a special story. With time and determination, our company was born, first dedicated to livestock farming and then transformed into the winery it is today. Il Colombaio di Santa Chiara turned to viticulture in 2002, when at the urging of Alessio, the youngest of us three brothers, we decided to join the wonderful and complex world of oenology. Alessio had started studying oenology and his passion had involved him so much that he wanted to put his studies into practice, followed by his brothers Giampiero and Stefano. In order to respect our land and maintain its richness, we decided to work under a certified organic regime, year after year, vintage after vintage, giving life to wines that do not fear time and generously reward patience in waiting. Our vineyards extend within the DOCG Vernaccia di San Gimignano area for 22 hectares, a small part of which is reserved for woodland. Upper Pliocene sands with clays, pebbles and gravels in some plots alternate with the more ancient formations of cavernous limestone in others.

Podere Il Carnasciale is a Tuscan winery with a unique dimension, closely linked to Caberlot, a grape variety derived from a spontaneous cross between the noble Bordeaux varieties Cabernet Franc and Merlot, hence the name. It was the agronomist Remigio Bordini who discovered the hybrid in an abandoned vineyard in the Euganean Hills, Veneto, in the 1960s. In the early 1980s, the German Wolf Rogosky, an internationally renowned publicist, tasted a Caberlot-based wine produced by oenologist Vittorio Fiore and immediately fell in love with it. So together with his wife Bettina, with whom he was already thinking of investing in a wine production in Tuscany, he decided to bet everything on this rare variety, initially known by the initials L32, renamed by Wolf as Caberlot. The place chosen for the project was Mercatale Valdarno, in the hills of the province of Arezzo, close to the border between Chianti and Valdarno. Here, the tradition of Podere Il Carnasciale is carried on today by Moritz Rogosky together with his mother Bettina.
The property of Podere Il Carnasciale comprises just over 5 hectares of vineyards, planted with the black grape varieties Caberlot and Sangiovese. The plots are located on sandy soils rich in skeleton, at an altitude between 200 and 425 metres above sea level. Agronomic management is based on the principles of certified organic farming and the harvest is carried out entirely by hand with careful selection of the grapes.

The harvest represents the synthesis of the work carried out in the vineyards during the year; only the best and undamaged bunches, collected in boxes, are destined for vinification.
All this takes place in the Barba winery, located in Scerne di Pineto, at the foot of Colle Morino. Built in 1991, it has a total capacity that exceeds the company’s production potential (around 9,000 hectolitres) and makes use of the most advanced technologies: the recently redesigned grape entry line has been renewed in every part.
The must temperature control system allows fermentation to take place smoothly, enhancing the aromas; stainless steel fermenter batteries and truncated oak vats complete the vinification cycle. Large temperature-controlled rooms are reserved for the ageing of the wines and the storage of the bottles.

In a celebrated fresco in town representing the Judgment Day, the “torre dei beati” (tower of the blessed) is the final goal that the souls try to reach through hard trials. For us, that’s a metaphor for the hard selection that all our grapes have to overcome before resulting in our wines.
We have been certified organic since 1999, and we only grow the native traditional grape varieties Montepulciano, Pecorino and Trebbiano. All our bottles come from our vineyard

State: Colorado
Regions: Western Slope/ Denver Metro/ San Luis Valley
The majestic valleys of Colorado’s Rocky Mountains are blessed with warm days, cool nights and low humidity — perfect conditions for the cultivation of wine grapes with the complex character and chemistry required to produce award-winning wines. Winemaking began on Colorado’s Western Slope more than a century ago. With the advent of Prohibition, however, the early vineyards were uprooted and replaced with orchards. Modern vineyards featuring the world’s classic wine-grape varieties have been reestablished in the area’s fertile climes, and once again the art of winemaking is flourishing in Colorado. Building on the tradition of these pioneer winemakers, thriving wineries are now found in all parts of the state. Today, Colorado’s vintners enjoy a well-earned reputation for producing a wide variety of premium wines. From redolent Riesling and captivating Cabernet Franc, to wines made from cherries, peaches, plums and honey, Colorado wines consistently win top national and international awards for their quality.

32) JACK RABBIT HILL FARM
State: Colorado
Region: Western Slope
https://www.jackrabbithill.com
Jack Rabbit Hill Farm makes wines that naturally express the farm’s mountain terroir. Our secret is clean, low-input farming and cellar practices. The only inputs: 1st-use irrigation water (snowmelt), biodynamic compost preparations (compost teas made from fermented plant and animal materials), hormone- and antibiotic-free horse and cow manure compost, cover crop seed, and organic sulphur. The farm and production facilities are certified organic and certified biodynamic.
Grapes are hand-picked and bask in long, slow, warm-but-not-hot fermentations, thanks to native yeasts, those naturally present on the grapes and in the cellar. No commercial yeasts or other additives used. Fermentations complete in 5-6 months usually, giving the formative wines time to develop their aromas, flavors and weight. White wines are aged sur lees in stainless vats. Reds are aged in neutral french oak barrels for 18-20 months.

Beyond our verjus, we pridefully partner with other local businesses who strive to do good. We recognize it requires a committed community to create a strong local economy and food system that works for all.
