Allegra, Manuel & Diego, the Almadi inspiration
The Almadi family of wine lists known varietals from Veneto along with
famous blends such as Amarone and Ripasso, all made with an high grade of
quality. Each wine is the result of the care and passion the winery puts in the
vineyards and in the vinification process, as the extension of the family
traditions on wine making carried for more than 100 years.
This love and care, naturally suggested the name Almadi, since the word
Al-Ma-Di stands for the initials of the names of my 3 children, and as such it
was used to represent with a selection only the best wine juices produced.
This
was until a few years ago, when the stories of the ancient history were
renewed thanks to the tenacious will of a group of friends, the current
members of the Castorani company. Each
member deals in the first person with the different stages of making
wine: from the loving cultivation of the grapes to the careful harvest,
from the production of the wine to its promotion and marketing. Combining
the passion for good wine with the desire to create a commercial
campaign dedicated to quality production, the company operates in full
respect of the ancient peasant values that have animated these
campaigns for centuries, in the wake of an ancient history of attachment
to generous land of Abruzzo.
After
years of passionate work, the selection of Castorani wines is the clear
expression of a territory devoted to the production of superb quality
grapes, transformed with great passion into wine through traditional
techniques. Our
bottles tell the hills 350 meters high in the town of Alanno, in the
Province of Pescara where the vineyards, set between the Majella
National Park and the nearby Adriatic coast, enjoy excellent sun
exposure and night winds, and of thermal excursions between day and night that give the grapes unique and precious characteristics.
Agriculture is our profession.
Passion, respect, love are the three forces that move us in daily life next to our vineyards. Passion
for our work, respect for the land, love for the family tradition in
cultivating the vineyards from which come wines that are pure expression
of the territory.
30 hectares, overlooking Assisi,
lying on splendidly exposed hills in the sun between Torgiano and
Montefalco in the heart of Umbria.
We practice
agriculture in full respect of nature, strongly believing in the need to
find a constant balance between man, earth, plants and animals.
This is why we adopt organic farming, respecting the rules of biodynamics.
We are sure that this will allow our children to continue farming.
The beautiful, the good and the genuine. Podere Micheli is above all a way of life. At
Podere Micheli, in the hills around Lucca, between rows of vines and
centuries-old olive groves, oil and wine are produced, good air is
breathed and the food is healthy. The brothers
Massimo and Maurizio Micheli personally take care of the selection of
raw materials for the products that are made in small local craft
companies, according to the ancient recipes of the mother Maria, cook
and custodian of the secrets of Tuscan culinary art.
The
family-owned company SassodiSole has the rare peculiarity of being both
in the north-eastern part of the Municipality of Montalcino and within
the UNESCO Natural Artistic Park of the Val d'Orcia.
The 8 hectares of vineyards are located at an altitude of about 300 meters. Slm. with prevalent exposure to south - south / west. They
are entirely made up of the indigenous Sangiovese vine, bred with a low
spurred cordon and cultivated exclusively with the agronomic practices
typical of the Montalcino tradition. A careful manual selection of the
grapes and an aging process in large barrels of 35 and 50 Hl. strictly
in Slavonian oak, they act as guarantors of the will of the Terzuoli
family to seek quality combined with respect for the typicality of
Montalcino.
The
company, founded by Giovanni Carminucci in 1928 and continuously active
throughout the last century, is today led by the son of the founder,
Piero, who has oriented production to high quality choices.
The
company, marketing the wholesale product, since 1999 has started
bottling the wines produced from the grapes of its specialized
vineyards, obtaining many awards and reviews.
The
acknowledgments we are receiving from the main guides in the sector and
in the territorial and international contests encourage us in our
choices and transmit new ideas for the future
The
company vineyards have an extension of 45 hectares, between the
municipalities of Offida and Grottammare (where the winery is located),
that is to say in the area most famous for the Denominations of
Controlled Origin historical for the territory: Rosso Piceno, Rosso
Piceno Superiore, Falerio, Pecorino, Passerina.
The
high density of the vines per hectare and the thinning of the clusters
in the vineyards testify to the desire to carry out qualitative
productions accompanied by the choice to obtain low and selective
yields.
All our products want to best express the company's efforts combined with the enormous potential of our territory.
