Azienda Agricola Calatroni was born in 1964, when Luigi Calatroni, driven by the end of his sharecropping contract, decided to buy his former employer’s vineyard. In the following years the company expanded and developed under the guidance of Fausto and Marisa Calatroni: having reached its third generation of winemakers, the company today combines the experience of tradition with the modern oenological and agronomic techniques that the young brothers Cristian ( 37 years old) and Stefano (32 years old) contributed with professionalism and passion. Continuous technical improvements and qualitative progress have allowed the full valorisation of the grapes from the property’s vineyards, located in the municipality of Montecalvo Versiggia at an altitude between 180 and 320 meters above sea level, in an area particularly suited to the cultivation of various vines.

Casa Vinicola Diego Genna (Marsala, Trapani, Sicilia) www.diegogenna.it
The history of the Diego Genna winery began almost a century ago, in a particularly suitable area where the sun shines for 300 days a year, Marsala.

Over the years he handed down the passion for viticulture to his sons Michele (1939) and Aldo (1947), who thanks to the teachings of their father, their scrupulous and methodical processing of wine and also to the exceptional pedoclimatic conditions, have allowed the company to produce wines of a high organoleptic level.
And it is precisely the passion for wine, the common thread that has united the different generations of the Genna family in a single Spirit, up to the present day. Today the current director of the company is the namesake Diego Genna (born in 1972), assisted in the management by his sister Sandra Genna.

This has led to the creation of some excellent wines, whose character and authenticity reflect a production philosophy which respects the tradition and love for this particular terroir. The crowning achievement of their work led to their becoming fully compliant with ORGANIC Farming standards.

Azienda Agricola Biologica-Vegana CANTINA CERRETANO (Orsogna, Chieti, Marche) cantinacerretano.wixsite.com/cerretano-vini
The Cantina Cerretano winery was founded in the early 1900s in the village of Orsogna in the province of Chieti in Abruzzo, a few kilometres from the wonderful Majella Natural Park. The founder Domenico “facciabella” (beautiful face) Cerretano began to trade wines throughout Abruzzo with a passion that has been passed down from generation to generation and that has transformed the estate over the years into a modern wine business producing both local autochthonous and international wines. Based on their close, respectful relationship with the natural environment, they decided in 2014 to convert to being an organic estate both in terms of grape production and wine certification. Then came a further big step in the years following: to produce wines that excel in every sense of the word, to produce ethical, cruelty-free, plant-based products for the sake of the terroir and the winery by becoming compliant with the VEGAN-OK product standard: tradition and authenticity, respect for life and nature, and taste—all in a glass of wine. A pleasant sensory experience.
