Goretti is a historic family-owned winery rooted in the rolling hills of Umbria, just outside Perugia, where four generations of the Goretti family have dedicated themselves to crafting expressive wines that celebrate the heart of central Italy’s vinicultural heritage. Founded in the early 1900s, the estate has grown steadily while maintaining its deep connection to the land, traditions, and family ethos that define Umbrian wine culture. Situated among fertile hillside vineyards in both the Colli Perugini DOC and Montefalco DOCG appellations, Cantine Goretti honors the region’s great indigenous grapes — notably Sagrantino, the powerful, ageworthy red of Montefalco — alongside classic Umbrian varieties such as Grechetto, Sangiovese, Pinot Grigio, and Chardonnay. The winery’s portfolio spans reds, whites, rosés, sparkling wines, and dessert wines, each crafted to balance tradition with thoughtful innovation. Cantine Goretti’s estate is anchored by a striking 12th-century tower, an emblem of the winery that stands watch over the vineyards and symbolizes the family’s long history and enduring presence in the region. Over the years, the winery has embraced modern sustainability practices — from renewable energy investments to careful vineyard management — while preserving the essence of classic Umbrian winemaking. Today, the fourth generation of the family continues to steward the vineyards and cellar with the same passion passed down through decades. Their wines are admired for their clarity of fruit, structural balance, and authentic representation of Umbria’s terroir — from vibrant Colli Perugini whites to the structured, ageworthy reds that honor Montefalco’s winemaking legacy. Goretti stands as a testament to a century-long commitment to quality, family heritage, and the expressive power of Umbrian wine.

Bonfadini
Bonfadini Franciacorta is a family-rooted sparkling wine producer crafting expressive Franciacorta DOCG from the rolling hills near Lake Iseo in Lombardy, Italy. The estate embodies Italian tradition, precision in the vineyard, and dedication to the classic method of sparkling winemaking that has made Franciacorta one of the world’s most respected sparkling wine regions outside Champagne.

His son Graziano continued the farming tradition beginning in 1993 — initially selling grapes to larger producers while nurturing a dream of creating wines under the family name. In 2007, Graziano’s daughter Francesca brought that dream to life by beginning to vinify their own fruit, culminating in the release of their first Franciacorta DOCG, Bonfadini Nobilium Brut, in 2010. With the addition of Andrea Bonfadini and winemaker Gianni Gasperi, the cellar gained both technical expertise and a clear stylistic identity. Today, Bonfadini produces a range of Franciacorta, all crafted with meticulous attention to detail and a focus on balance, purity of fruit, and lively effervescence. Their wines have earned accolades and strong recognition both in Italy and abroad, while the winery continues to grow thoughtfully, managing their vineyards directly and crafting wines that showcase the region’s unique terroir.

Piandaccoli
Nestled on the gentle hills just outside the medieval village of Malmantile in Tuscany, Piandaccoli is a winery where history and innovation come together to celebrate one of Italy’s most treasured wine regions. With roots that stretch back to the early Middle Ages—when the estate served as a resting place for pilgrims walking the Via Francigena—Piandaccoli has long been shaped by the land, its traditions, and the unique character of its vineyards.

Alongside its Chianti and Chianti Riserva, the estate produces a range of boutique bottlings that highlight these rare grapes—each bottle a testament to the estate’s dedication to biodiversity, historical respect and vinicultural excellence. More than a winery, Piandaccoli is a living link to Tuscany’s vinous heritage: a place where centuries-old traditions are honored, indigenous varieties are restored, and every vintage tells a story of passion, place and discovery.

Pietro Caciorgna
Pietro Caciorgna is a family-anchored wine estate spanning two of Italy’s most compelling wine regions — Tuscany’s rolling hills near Casole d’Elsa and the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna in Sicily. The story of the estate begins with a deep love for the land and a belief that great wine must first be nurtured in the vineyard. The Caciorgna family’s agricultural roots trace back to 1953, when Giovanni and Fulvia Caciorgna settled in the heart of Tuscany with their seven children and began farming the fertile hillside around Casole d’Elsa. Many years later, Pietro Caciorgna and his wife, Elda, transformed this heritage into a dedicated wine project, planting Sangiovese vineyards on the family’s hillside cru at Osteria delle Macchie and producing their first commercial vintage in the early 2000s. In 2006, the estate embarked on an exciting new chapter when it discovered the extraordinary terroir of Etna in eastern Sicily. Enchanted by the volcanic soils and dynamic growing conditions of the northern slopes, they acquired small parcels of Nerello Mascalese vineyards — some pre-phylloxera and planted in the traditional alberello method — and began crafting wines that reflect the distinct allure of this storied landscape. Today, Pietro Caciorgna produces expressive wines that celebrate the differences of these two remarkable Italian terroirs. In Tuscany, Sangiovese-based bottlings like Terre di Casole Sangiovese showcase bright fruit, balanced structure and a true sense of place. On Etna, the estate’s Etna Rosso DOC wines — including approachable everyday expressions like Guardoilvento and N’Anticchia — express the minerality, finesse and aromatic depth that distinguish volcanic viticulture. Across both regions, the Caciorgna philosophy remains consistent: wine rooted in terroir, made with care, and true to the environment that sustains it. Each bottle is a reflection of generational heritage, thoughtful cultivation and a lifelong pursuit of authentic Italian wine.
