A tension that expresses the desire of visionary experimenters to continue expanding the limits of taste, observing the unwritten rules that the earth imposes on us.

AZIENDA AGRICOLA PARADISONE - COLLE DEGLI ANGELI
Tuscany
WINEMAKER: FEDERICO DONINI
The wines of Colle degli Angeli were first crafted for sharing with family and friends. They are meant to be enjoyed in the spirit of companionship and conviviality, and express years of passionate research and hard work â pages in the story of the house of Attilio Locati, founder of Paradisone.
The shared enjoyment of wine is part of living life as fully as possible. It magically captures time, present, past and future; for as we wrote elsewhere, tasting magnifies present sensations, compares them to those of previous tastings, imagines the wineâs future development. Our past plays a major role in the art of fine wine: the heritage of tradition and terroir, essential in creating wines that speak for a given territory; and our own past, the values and ideals of youth, the pleasures of childhood with their sensory intensityâĤ The joys of tasting are not only physical but spiritual: the closeness to nature we feel when making or tasting wine allows us to reach total well-being and harmony.

LEUTA - AZIENDA AGRICOLA LAGARINI
Tuscany
WINEMAKER: DENIS ZENI
Azienda Agricola Leuta was founded in 2000 by Denis Zeni and Enzo Berlanda.
Long-time business partners and school friends from the Lagarina valley in Trentino, the two young men, recognizing both the powerful attraction of nature and the perverse fascination of the city, decided to make a radical change and leave their respective jobs in the world of finance for the challenge of agriculture.
For too long, they realized, they had been dreaming and desiring a different life; their fathers had cultivated tobacco and grapes in the Trentino area and they wanted to live the same way.
In 2000, they purchased 21,5 hectares (approximately 60 acres) of land in Tuscany near Cortona, not far from Lake Trasimeno and Montepulciano. This land is now the Leuta Estate. Positioned at 310 meters above sea-level, the land is perfect for grape-growing, as soil studies clearly indicate.
The "Tuscany Project," as the two men called this initiative at the beginning, was incorporated in 2004 as Lagarini s.s. di Zeni Denis & C. s.s. and the first small-scale vintage for the Vin Santo Leuta was crafted. During the same year a small property was bought in Trentino together with their friend Giulio De Vescovi, owner of the Azienda Agricola De Vescovi-Ulzbach.

CANTINE RUSSO
Sicily
WINEMAKER: FRANCESCO RUSSO
The winemaking tradition of the Russo family has been handed down from father to son until today.
Towards the end of the 1800s the great-great-grandfather Vincenzo Russo dedicated himself, together with the family, to the cultivation of his own vineyards located in the Solicchiata area, in the Municipality of Castiglione di Sicilia at about 700 m/asl on the north east side of Etna.
In 1955, Francesco and Vincenzo, respectively the son and grandson of the great-great-grandfather Vincenzo, decided to bottle the wine produced by the family vineyards by creating a small cellar. The first wine was called Solicchiata and it was 1956; D.O.C. certification Etna was recognized in 1968, the same year in which the brand changed its name to Rusvini until it reached today's brand which is Cantine Russo.
Today the fourth generation is represented by Gina and Francesco Russo who together with their father Vincenzo manage the historic family business.
