Its commitment to sustainable farming led to organic certification in 2015.

🍇 Meet the Producers
Ruggeri — Veneto
Founded in 1950 by Giustino Bisol and his cousin Luciano Ruggeri, this Valdobbiadene producer combines generations of local winemaking knowledge with an innovative approach to Prosecco. Long-standing relationships with growers and patient maturation are central to its philosophy, exploring the depth and ageing potential of the region’s sparkling wines. Giustino B., named in tribute to the founder, captures this pursuit of finesse and complexity.
Cadgal — Piedmont
Cadgal explores both the freshness and the ageing potential of Piedmont’s wines, with a particular focus on Moscato. Its old-vine bottling undergoes an unusual maturation process: bottles rest in sand-filled crates for five years, allowing greater complexity to develop. Alongside these aromatic sweet wines, Cadgal also produces dry whites, including Chardonnay—offering two contrasting sides of the producer in the evening’s selection.
Bruno Rocca — Piedmont
The Rocca family’s roots in Barbaresco stretch back to the nineteenth century, with the purchase of vineyards in Rabajà in 1958 marking a defining chapter. Bruno began bottling under the family name with the 1978 harvest, shifting the focus towards wines that express their individual vineyard origins. This commitment to place remains central to the estate, whose holdings include Currà in Neive, featured in the evening’s lineup.
Elio Altare — Piedmont
Based in La Morra, the Altare family estate combines its Piedmontese roots with an openness to experimentation. Inspired by his travels to Burgundy, Elio introduced changes in both vineyard and cellar, pursuing elegance, finesse and balance. La Villa reflects that approach: a blend of Barbera and Nebbiolo aged in French barriques, bringing together vibrant acidity, dark fruit and carefully balanced tannins.
Romano Dal Forno — Veneto
Producing wine since 1983, Romano Dal Forno’s estate in the Illasi Valley combines traditional local grape varieties with meticulous vineyard work and modern cellar techniques. Its focus on Valpolicella and Amarone reflects a determination to bring precision and depth to the region’s wines. Careful fruit selection and a willingness to innovate underpin an approach that respects tradition without being limited by it.
San Filippo — Tuscany
Set just outside Montalcino, San Filippo surrounds a historic Tuscan hamlet whose main farmhouse dates to 1672. Its Le Lucere Brunello comes from an east-facing vineyard and is made entirely from Sangiovese, with maturation in smaller oak vessels followed by larger casks. The estate’s emphasis on finesse, structure and silky tannins offers a distinctly Tuscan chapter in the evening’s journey across Italy.
