Top 30 must visit wineries in Italy

By WIA
Wines and wineries of Italy form a large part of the country’s culture. Italy is in fact among the oldest wine-producing nations worldwide with maximum number of wineries. It is only second to France in wine production. It is one of those countries where every meal is of utmost importance to the quality of food and wine.
Italian wineries are among today’s largest exporters of wine. There are 20 Italian vineyards and wine regions, each with its own distinct flavor. These regions are popular for visitors in Italy wine tours. If you are visiting Italy, you should make sure you slot in at least one visit to a winery. However visit the small wineries, because that is where the famed ambrosia of Italy is made.

Here are some of the top 30 must visit wineries in Italy

1. Masseto Winery

The Masseto winery is the monolithic physical symbol of this wine, as is the wall of huge rocks marking the boundary of the estate. When you think of a great institution there is always a point of reference to a specific building. The same now applies to Masseto and its vineyards – Giovanni Geddes da Filicaja, CEO.

2. Marchesi Antinori Winery

The Antinori family is committed to the art of winemaking since 1385. It was the time when Giovanni di Piero Antinori became a member, of the “Arte Fiorentina dei Vinattieri”. All throughout its history, twenty-six generations long, the Antinori family has managed the business directly making innovative and sometimes bold decisions while upholding the utmost respect for traditions and the environment.

3. Tenuta Luce

Tenuta Luce equipped itself with a new Winery, an underground structure conceived so that it would blend perfectly with the surrounding landscape and nature, representing the harmony that is typical of our wines, and with Collezione Luce which like an ancient library preserves and tells the history of Tenuta Luce’s wines.Here, as in the vineyards, the values of Tenuta Luce guide each choice we make. And while in the vineyards there’s the beauty of nature, here there’s beauty built by man to inspire us to work better and better.

4. Giodo Winery

Everything at Giodo is underpinned by the concept of uncompromising quality. The entire process takes its start from the selection of clones and vines that are ideal for producing wines that are elegant, well-balanced and with impressive length. Every decision, every individual detail, whether in the vineyard or the winecellar, is of the greatest importance and merits full and meticulous attention. Those small details are the indispensable tesserae that compose the mosaic that Carlo Ferrini’s experience and expertise makes absolutely unique, the creation that his extraordinary passion has successfully handed on to his daughter Bianca.

5. Fuligni Winery

The Fuligni Estate spreads over approximately one hundred fully-cultivated hectares of land in an almost continual strip on the eastern side of Montalcino where, historically, the most authentic production of Brunello emerged. The vines, which extend over ten hectares, are primarily located at Cottimelli at altitudes varying from 380 to 450 meters above sea level. Here, the land, which predominantly faces east, belongs entirely to the Santa Fiora (marl) geological formation of Eocene origin and is made up of a prevalently rocky terrain.

Classic to the area are soils made up of the reddish terra rossa, clays, and calcareous tufa.

The goal of San Polo was to transform the Estate into a premium quality winery. The year 2007 marked the beginning of a new era for San Polo: a prestigious, historic appellation was accompanied by an entrepreneurial approach and openness to multiple business opportunities.

13. Chiara Boschis Winery

Our company is located in the municipality of Barolo and the cellar overlooks the square where via Monforte and via Vittorio Veneto (the so-called Via Nuova) intersect. From here, observing the hills, one can imagine how much work is needed to maintain such steep lands as well as manicured gardens and to obtain this grape of incomparable quality from their generosity. Only grapes from vineyards cultivated by us and which are almost entirely our property are vinified.

14. Zenato Winery

“Sergio Zenato manicured the morainic hills for years, from the most strategic observation point on Lake Garda in Peschiera. His reflection was cast over the largest body of blue in Italy. And since the 1960s, he saw in Trebbiano di Lugana something that few others had intuited: that the color, aromas, and favors of the white wine it produced could travel the world.” In the flash of an eye and the wonder of Lake Garda is all there: in the beauty of the landscape; in the naturalist, historic, and artistic value of the land; in the mild climate. The secret of Trebbiano di Lugana, a native grape variety planted on the southern banks of Lake Garda, is hidden in its origins.

15. Barone Ricasoli Winery

Brolio Castle: symbol of the territory of the Chianti Classico area. Ricasoli is the most representative wine producer in the Chianti Classico area. With its gentle hills, velvety valleys and thick woodlands of oaks and chestnuts, the 1,200 hectares of property include almost 240 hectares of vineyards and 26 of olive groves.

17. Roberto Voerzio Winery

The winery was founded in 1986 in La Morra, a village in the heart of the Langhe, always known for its vineyards, some of which were mentioned in the municipalities books since 1350. No wine is filtered . It’s not time that makes him great , but time brings out the large initial quality . For this we say that our Barolo , Barbera d’Alba reserve Pozzo dell’Annunziata and Merlot should be drunk not before 5-6 years of aging in the bottle and then evolve slowly over 20-30 years as long as they kept in optimal conditions.

In 1988, management passed into the hands of Giancarlo.

They added the land and vineyards already owned in the Certuti region, better known as Sru, in the municipal districts of Canale and Monteu Roero, now a UNESCO World Heritage core zone.
