About Carpineto
Founded in 1967, Carpineto farms 424ha of land that spreads over four estates located in the renowned Central Italian Region - Tuscany. The range of wines from Carpineto includes some of the most classic and famous wines such as Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino, Vin Santo as well as the highly revered Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva that is made with the native Sangiovese grape. Carpineto wines are made with hallmark style that is incredibly rich, complex and elegant with long aging potential.
About St. Pauls
St. Pauls, in the municipality of Eppan, is one of South Tyrol’s most beautiful wine-growing areas. The grapes ripen in optimum climatic conditions on the slopes and hills. From the time the vines blossom, right through to pressing, the greatest care is needed to make sure that “liquid gold” can be produced from the ripe grapes. Slowly, under the care of our experienced winemaker, the wine will develop its body and elegance to reflect St. Pauls’ motto: passion for quality.
About Nicolis
Established since 1951, the Nicolis family produces wine from their estate vineyards in San Pietro in Valpolicella (“valley of many cellars”) region in Italy. The birthplace of one of the most celebrated wines in the world - Amarone and Valpolicella “Ripasso”, Nicolis is helmed by second generation, Giuseppe Nicolis - the winemaker, and Giancarlo - the viticulturist. The Nicolis brothers’ winery covers over 40 hectares of vineyards in various parts of Valpolicella both on foothills and at higher altitudes, with an annual production of only 16,000 cases.
