No of ostentation, nor excessive luxury. It is part of 10 rich fortunes of Italy (it would be the 6th largest). Just thirty minutes drive from Venice, this businessman could install its offices in one of the many doges of the lagoon, or even in the family property, the magnificent Villa Sandi, Palladian school building dating back to the 17th century. At the foot of the hills of Treviso, the House stands in a verdant setting surrounded by vineyards. Access is by a long Garden Italian perfectly ordered and geometric. In the basement, the cellars form a long maze of a kilometre and a half where (mainly a sparkling of the Prosecco Valdobbiadene) wines age at a temperature optimum and always constant.
In the Poleggatto (his brother Giancarlo is in charge of the property), is left nothing to chance. In little more than a decade, Geox has become a global success. As the wines of the family, to export, long, in more than fifty countries. So rare phenomenon in the wine world, Mario Moretti Polegatto, oenologist of origin, left the family farm to create his own business. In Italy, in France or elsewhere, is more accustomed to the opposite direction. The large industrial by accumulating wealth and passion, turn to the vine.
In this private class are undoubtedly the Antinori. Illustrious florentine family, these large merchants in multiple activities gained their wealth in the Bank, in silk and then, in the wine trade. Thanks to the work of Piero Antinori and his cousin Incisa della Rochetta, Antinori hoisted among Italian wine producers the most renowned, perhaps the most famous. Both have developed in the 1980s, Sassicaia, Tuscany wine purple and deep colour. This "supertoscan", as the call specialists, immediately imposed himself in the very closed circle vials of exception.
This success opened the way to appetites and ambitions of many winemakers and industrial. They also have sought to produce nectars of world-renowned. This elite, develop a cuvée is an escape, a creation. It invests all of its energy, its know-how and a part of his fortune to achieve excellence.
This spirit animates the Fratini - textile specialists family - associated with the Antinori in the creation of the domain Argentiera (on the coast of the Maremma high, 200 km west of Florence) including the cellar emerges at an altitude of 200 metres. Since cellars two kilometres from the sea, we can see the islands of the Tuscan Archipelago: Elba, Capraia and Gorgona. Splendid! One example among many others. In the 1990s, family Benanti, rich patterns of the pharmaceutical sector with SIFI, has, for its part, relied on local hot, volcanic Mount Etna. It develops from wines exclusively traditional varietals (nerello, mascalese, nerello capuccio, carricante, minnella bianca...). The reds have the material with a strong tannic frame but time improves. It had courage and a true spirit of contractor for daring to invest on this local difficult.
Found this same fierce commitment of excellence among the Tipa-Bertarelli. One is immediately struck by the aesthetics of the ultra-modern wine facilities in the field of ColleMassari, South of Montalcino. With his sister Maria-Iris Bertarelli (wife and mother of patterns of the biotechnology group Serono sold in 2006), Claudio Tipa - who he worked in the field of surveillance - changed its life at the dawn of his fifty years to live his passion. At the foot of Monte Amiata, 320 metres of altitude, oriented to the Tyrolean coast, the seventy-four wine hectares cultivated in organic produce at the end of the very interesting wines.
Francesco Illy, honcho of the eponymous café in the famous red logo, is revealed, he also, one of these enthusiasts. In the valleys of Tuscany, he leads the field Mastrojanni. Sixty-six hectares of wood and twenty-four planted of vines. His chais emerge, each year, 80 000 bottles including 7,000 of the renowned brunello Vigna Schiena of Asino ruby colour and aromas of cherries and currants both appreciated of fans from around the world. Very in form, Italian wine now invites on the tables in all continents. If the North and the South sometimes oppose, wine unit plays when it comes to impose the transalpine production.
