Cantina di Soliera is a cooperative winery and is part of an interprovincial group of wineries that boast a large and efficient production centre on the territory with a century of experience.

The group leader is the Cantina di Limidi winery, established in 1923, which then incorporated other wineries: Sozzigalli winery in 1957, Soliera winery in 1982, and Rolo winery in 2014. Today, the extensive wine-making activity involves the production of 25,000 tons of grapes.  

The Cantina di Soliera holds the record for the quantitative production of Lambrusco di Sorbara. For many years, a zoning project has been underway to extend the area of grape cultivation from the left bank of the Secchia river, a famous affluent of the Po, to the right bank, in accordance with the tradition. The cooperative currently has 422 members, and the production facility displays historic photographs that attest to the past and present of the Cantina di Soliera. The true protagonist is Lambrusco, a wine whose authentic and extraordinary spirit brings together the cuisine, the people, and the traditions of this hospitable land of Emilia-Romagna.

Currently the estate farms a total of 27 hectares, 75% of which are owned, and produces between 90-100,000 bottles (about 8,000 twelve-bottle cases) per year. None of the wines are made from purchased grapes, and the rented vineyards are managed and farmed in exactly the same way as our estate vineyards. The current lineup of 5 bottlings was finalized after the 2001 vintage.Throughout all the winery's growth and expansion, Luciano has never lost track of the things that brought him his initial success: wines of integrity, purity and deep expression, made with passion and honesty to provide great drinking pleasure.

Mario is in charge of the winery. The previous generations were growers selling their wines in bulk. From 1980 onwards, the Scagliola brothers started investing in facilities to bottle Moscato wines and subsequently added rotofermenters for red wines. The facilities are state of the art and new buildings and machinery are added continuously to allow for growth.

Maggiorino is in charge of the vineyards. The winery currently cultivates 28 hectares of Barbera, Moscato, Brachetto, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Dolcetto and Merlot grapes.

Recognized regularly by Gambero Rosso, Wine Spectator and Parker, Scagliola is truly a hidden gem in the heart of Piedmont.

Utmost care for the environment is paramount in the LaMura production, from utilizing beneficial predators in the vineyards, to packaging our wines in lightweight bottles with recyclable closures. Our philosophy dictates minimal environmental impact and preservation of the area, be it under vine or in its natural state.

Owner Sergio Marchetti belongs to an old patriarchal family of the 18th century. The family’s descendants have lived and farmed on this land for generations. In the 1980s, the owner of the lands gifted Fossacolle to the family when he sold the properties. Fossacolle is four hectares of vineyards in the medieval town of Tavernelle in southern Montalcino. This area benefits from the wind of nearby Maremma which creates a perfect climate to grow and to mature grapes. Sergio and his family manage the vineyards and his son-in-law, Adriano Bambagioni, with the help of his son Stefano, carry out all the enological and commercial aspects of Fossacolle.

After many years of consulting work and of wines for other producers, Vittorio Fiore was able, in 1992, to realize a long-held dream: that of creating his own proprietary wine estate. Together with his wife Adriana he acquired, in that year, the Poggio Scalette farm on the Ruffoli hill in the township of Greve in Chianti which, in a short space of time, became one of Tuscany’s, and Italy’s, most prestigious wine estates. Thanks as well to the crucial contribution of his son Jurij, a professional winemaker trained at Beaune in Burgundy, who runs the property.

Founded in 1924, Azienda Agricola Ca’ dei Zago maintains 6 hectares of vineyards in Valdobbiadene. Christian Zago returns to the traditions of his grandfather to make this unique Col Fondo (on the sediment) Prosecco. 

There have never been any herbicides or pesticides used in the vines, which are are all terraced on steep hills characteristic of the area, making machine harvesting impossible. Practicing biodynamic since 2010.

Cembra started as a cooperative in 1952 when a group of locals, all with small plots under vine, began to pool their efforts. Now a strong band of 400 growers cultivate gravity-defying sites on craggy slopes to deliver breath-taking varietal wines. 

Perching on the highest vineyard in Trentino and among the highest in Europe, Cembra truly makes the highest class wine. At altitudes verging over 800 m.a.s.l. (2625 feet) in the Alpine mountain tops, the winemaker has achieved peaks in flavor and excellence.

The extreme difference in temperature ranges uniquely influences the grape’s maturation, truly making the difference in the flavor of their unique wine.
