St. Michael-Eppan
Founded in 1907, the St. Michael-Eppan winery is located in the heart of Southern Tyrol, Italy. Terroir is the star here and through careful viticulture practices in the vineyards, the winery strives to let the grapes and nature speak through the wines. The whites are bright, lively and aromatic while the reds express remarkable mineral and earthy characteristics.
Today the vaulted cellars of the hundred-year-old winery store a wide variety of top white and red wines that are delicate expressions of this northern Italian region.

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.
