DAGAZ is a winery specializing in the production and sale of premium wines. It is located in the Pumanque appellation, in the Colchagua Costa Valley of Chile. Its vineyard was planted by renowned Chilean winemaker Marco Puyó, who is also the founding partner of DAGAZ Winery. DAGAZ's philosophy is to produce wines that faithfully express the terroir from which they come. The vineyards are planted on granite soils and are heavily influenced by cool breezes from the Pacific Ocean, characteristics that give rise to fresh, persistent red fruit wines. The winery's main varieties are Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenere, and a blend of these varieties with Petit Verdot. They also produce two very special wines from other origins: a Carignan and a Cinsault.

RIVERA AND THE DE CORATO FAMILY
The de Corato family roots go deep into the countryside of Puglia, more precisely in Andria on the high plain between the Murgia hills and the Adriatic Sea. Here Giuseppe, the family patriarch born in the midst of the XIX century, was a farmer with entrepreneurial spirit. In 1921 he acquired the large estate owned for centuries by the noble Rivera family, whose founder Pietro had been captain of Emperor Fredrick II of Swabia in XII century, and made of it a model in vine and olive production.
It is in Rivera historical cellars that Sebastiano, Giuseppe youngest and most visionary son, founded the winery in the late 1940s, inspired by a vision of realising the enormous viticultural potential of the hilly area dominated by Castel del Monte, Fredrick II’s masterpiece and the area’s landmark. His ambition of creating a brand that would finally represent Puglia in the world’s wine firmament and his tenacity were soon to be rewarded as Rivera quickly become benchmark of Puglia quality wine production and force driving its rebirth.
In the ’70 Sebastiano’s son Carlo introduced innovations in both vineyards and winemaking that led to the development of wines that innovated the region’s wine scene. Under his mentoring his sons Sebastiano and Marco, representing the fourth generation, bear with pride and continue with commitment a century long history of success that has made Rivera wines ambassadors of Puglia in the world’s markets.
ESTATE AND WINERY
Located on the Roman Traian road at the foot of the Alta Murgia hills where ancient trails would bring herds of sheep from Abruzzo every autumn for their winter pastures, Rivera estate testify to the history and evolution of agricultural production of a whole territory. The winery’s historical nucleus dates back to the late 1800s and hosts red riserva wines in its below-ground barrel cellars with over 400 French oak barriques, 20 3,000-litre French oak and 9 5,500-litre Slavonian oak casks. A newer wing added in the 1960s with built-in glass lined cement vats, now completely tempera-ture controlled, is used for post-fermentation fining and maturation of white, rosè and young red wines. Epicentre of today’s winemaking activities is the new modern, efficient fa cility no w ri ses next to historical buildings, with small stainless-steel fermenters custom-designed for on-the-skins macerations for red and rosé wines, and well suited for whites. The entire winery complex is served by a solar-panel installation that covers 35% of its total energy needs.
WINES
Rivera range of wines is naturally centred on Castel del Monte DOC, as well as the recent DOCGs, of which the winery has always been leading proponent and benchmark. In almost 70 vintages of history Rivera has developed a range of wines that explores most of the appellation’s styles and native as well as more recently introduced grape varieties, with whites, rosè and reds from the fresh and delicate to the complex and well-structured.
At the same time the portfolio extends southwards toward Salento showcasing its most important denominations (Locorotondo, Salice Salentino, Primitivo di Manduria) and native grape varieties (Primitivo and Negroamaro) that yield wines with great concentra-tion and Mediterranean personality.
The common mark of all Rivera wines is the oenological style that rigorously interprets and respects the different terroirs and varietals, yet with great balance between complexity, finesse and drinkability for the discerning consumer’s pleasure of taste. A style that combines the roots in tradition and attention to the evolution of winemaking techniques and of the market.
Tenuta di Collosorbo was started in 1995 by Giovanna Ciacci from the division of her family’s estate, Tenuta di Sesta, which was founded in 1850.
The Ciacci family always cultivated grapes, olives, and all types of grains. Giuseppe Ciacci bottled the estate’s first Brunello di Montalcino in 1966, the same year that the Producers Association was established and the estate’s Brunello was given a DOC label.
Nowadays, Giovanna Ciacci and her two daughters run the winery, maintaining the family crest as a tie to the past.
Giovanna takes care of the general administration of the winery. Laura Sutera Sardo works as both the enologist and viticulturist.
Lucia Sutera Sardo, the agronomist, is responsible for the commercial side of the winery
The story of Cristoforetti and Delibori is one of genuine friendship, respect for the land, and a commitment to people, passed down from generation to generation. This shared passion is embraced by a young, dedicated team with a deep-rooted connection to the territory.
Founded over 50 years ago in 1971 by Walter Delibori and Giorgio Cristoforetti, Vigneti Villabella is the agricultural estate of the Cristoforetti and Delibori group. Located in Calmasino, in the province of Verona, it lies in the heart of the Bardolino Classico region on the morainic hills overlooking Lake Garda.
This winery brings out the finest qualities of the land, crafting unique, authentic wines in a responsible, ethical context that balances people, landscape, and nature. It is a tradition that has adapted and evolved over time, continuously seeking improvement to create wines that embody the character of their origins.
Today, the legacy of tradition and the foresight to invest in the future is carried on by Walter and Giorgio's children. Tiziano Delibori oversees wine production, originally with quality control support from his son Umberto, who has sadly passed away, while Tiziano’s daughter Lorenza serves as Maître de Maison. Franco Cristoforetti leads the commercial side, with his sister Angela managing administration.
Vigneti Villabella produces all of Verona’s great classic wines with protected designation of origin, such as Bardolino, Chiaretto, Valpolicella, Ripasso, Amarone, Lugana, Custoza, Soave, and Garda.
The heart of the Vigneti Villabella estate is Villa Cordevigo in Cavaion Veronese, located inland from Lake Garda. This lush, organic oasis spans a hundred hectares, encompassing vineyards, olive groves, cypress forests, and spring waters, all preserved to protect the area’s soul and biodiversity.
At the center of the estate stands Villa Cordevigo, an 18th-century historic residence now dedicated to hospitality and promoting the region's wines. The restoration and preservation of Villa Cordevigo represent the culmination of a visionary project by both families to enhance the region and protect the environment and the community that lives there.
