I Grandi Cru: Barolo

The regal flavour of Barolo, the excellent whites of Irpinia, the freshness and minerality of wines born in the heart of the Maremma, the ancient poetry of a glass of Chianti Classico. The Grandi Cru are a precious and exclusive universe that must be savoured calmly, sip after sip. Visits to the winery are only part of a fascinating all-round experience that will allow you to experience and discover the territories, history and traditions of the great names in wine.

Barolo: The Essence of Piedmont

Barolo is known as the 'king of wines' and is one of Italy's most prestigious crus. Its gently rolling hills in the Piedmont landscape are the perfect setting to immerse oneself in the history and culture of wine. Every sip of Barolo tells of the morning mists that envelop the vineyards, of the expert hands that have tilled the land for generations, and of the cellars where the wine matures slowly, acquiring those characteristics that make it unmistakable. A visit to the historic cellars of Piedmont will help you understand what makes this wine so special: the passion of the producers and the elegance of the land.

Irpinia: The Irresistible Charm of Campania Whites

In the heart of Campania lies Irpinia, a land rich in history and ancient wine traditions. Some of Italy's best white wines are born here, such as Fiano di Avellino and Greco di Tufo. The Irpinia hills, characterised by volcanic soils and a mild climate, give the wines a unique freshness and aromatic complexity. Visit the cellars in the area to discover the mastery of the local winemakers and be seduced by the scent of white flowers, the aromas of tropical fruit and the minerality that these wines can offer. A visit to the winery is also an opportunity to discover a different, lesser-known but incredibly fascinating Campania.

Maremma: The Charm of Tuscan Wines

The Maremma, in the heart of Tuscany, is a land of great charm and contrasts. Its wines are known for their freshness, minerality and ability to reflect the wild land from which they come. Among the vineyards that stretch down to the sea, each wine tells a story of passion and connection with nature. The reds of the Maremma, as well as its whites, are authentic expressions of a viticulture that constantly seeks to enhance the territory and its special characteristics. The Maremma wine cellars are not only places where wine is produced, but true sanctuaries of taste where it is possible to come into contact with the soul of the most authentic Tuscany.

Chianti Classico: A Dive into Tradition

Chianti Classico is one of Italy's most iconic wines, synonymous with tradition and elegance. Among the hills stretching between Florence and Siena, Chianti Classico is produced with passion and dedication, following ancient rules that guarantee its quality. Its history goes back centuries, and every sip is a journey into Tuscan culture. A visit to the Chianti wine cellars is an experience that goes far beyond mere wine tasting: it is an opportunity to explore castles, ancient villas and hamlets surrounded by a landscape that seems to have come straight out of a Renaissance painting.

An Experience Affecting All Senses

Visiting the territories of the Grandi Cru is much more than just tasting excellent wines. It is a sensory journey that involves all the senses: the sight of the breathtaking landscapes, the smell of the wines maturing in the barrels, the sound of the stories told by the producers and, of course, the taste of each sip that reveals the unique characteristics of each territory. Each winery has its own history, made up of handed-down traditions and constant innovation.

It is not only an opportunity to learn more about wine, but also to discover the most authentic Italy, the Italy of small villages, cultivated hillsides and people who dedicate their lives to the land.
