Rizzi
Perched on the panoramic hilltop of Rizzi in Treiso, this estate has been owned by Ernesto Dellepiana since 1974 and spans across one of the best sites in the Barbaresco DOCG. Today, Ernesto’s daughter Jole and his son Enrico are actively involved in the winery. According to Enrico his objective is “to produce wine that follows the tradition of the region, and to ensure that as much of the character and personality of the vineyard, and grape varietal as possible is present in the bottle. Transparency of terroir and fruit clarity are my goals”.

Castell'In Villa
Princess Coralia Pignatelli della Leonessa and her husband acquired the property in 1968. Located in the southern part of the Chianti Classico region, the estate is known for producing some of the most traditionally-crafted and age-worthy wines in Italy. However, it went a step further in differentiating itself from other producers by releasing stocks progressively into the market, once deemed ready to drink. This practice allows consumers to drink great wines, with a certain level of maturity.

JJ Hahn
The Hahn’s are considered Barossa royalty - almost national treasures. Maria and Johann Christian Hahn arrived in the Barossa Valley in 1845 and their land is still in Hahn family hands, six generations on. Current custodians, Jacqui and James Hahn still live in the original homestead constructed from 1846 to 1848. Yields are kept low and there are two pickings, five days apart, which gives a greater range of complexity in the final wine.
