CANTINE DUE PALME
Run by the Maci family, the winery has been awarded the Cangrande medal at Vinitaly on three occasions for making the wines of Puglia better known and more relevant to modern tastes. Most recently, in April 2014, they were awarded the Special Grand Vinitaly Award for the Best Italian winery. Specialising in Negoramaros and Primitivos, Due Palme is now one of the largest producers in the region. 90% of the production is red wines and some Chardonnay is also produced.
CANTINE PASQUA
Located in Surani in Manduria since 2001, this winery represents a return to the Pasqua family’s roots in Puglia. The local grape varieties of Fiano and Primitivo are the focus and the vineyards are planted using a modern high density espalier system to ensure low yields and great concentration. The winemaking at Surani is very modern in that the latest materials and techniques are used to extract the most fruit and character from the grapes.
TOMBACCO
Tombacco has been a family business for generations. It is the archetypal bottler and blender sourcing wines from all over the Veneto region and indeed most of Italy. Apart from the classic Veronese wines and excellent Pinot Grigio, owner Cristian Tombacco also sources a great Falanghina IGT Beneventano under the Piantaferro label.
ROCCA DELLE MACIE
Founded by Italo Zingarelli, the filmmaker of the “spaghetti” westerns, Rocca delle Macie is a young, dynamic winery with a highly regarded reputation at the heart of the Chianti Classico zone. The straight forward Chianti Classico through to the single vineyard Riservas and Supertuscans are produced from their own grapes. The Chianti Classico Riserva 2009 currently has Tre Bicchieri in the prestigious Gambero Rosso guide.
CANTINE TEANUM
Teanum was born in 2000 in San Paolo di Civitate, in the province of Foggia. The project was to revalue a historic cellar from the 70s, dedicated solely to the production of bulk wine. Guided by the ambition to make our products recognisable, we decided to invest in bottling and in the purchase of a second cellar, located in the Predicatella district of San Severo. The goal was to develop a characterising brand identity, in which the link with the history of our territory was evident both in the logo and through the story of our products. Today Teanum wines are present in most of the most important markets in the sector, with an annual production of 1.5 million bottles.
CANTINA TOLLO
Cantina Tollo was founded in 1960. Today, it is one of the most important and established businesses in the Italian winemaking industry, with a presence in most major countires where it exports 35% of its production.
EMPORIUM
The wines of Emporium are the pure expression of both the richness and simplicity of the land where they are produced, Puglia. A territory with a millenary oenological heritage. Emporium wines are crafted with the the best grapes of Primitivo and Negroamaro. The result is an Appassimento Salento IGT and a Primitivio di Manduria DOC. These are two wines of great structure and character, perfectly represent the wine tradition of Puglia.
