Paros Farming Community brings together a network of 30 growers safeguarding approximately 8 hectares of old-vine vineyards, with an average vine age of 75–85 years. Paros’ vineyards carry a viticultural history that stretches from the Cycladic Civilisation (3200–2000 BC) to the present day.

For more than twenty five years, Terroirs Originels has stood as one of the most distinctive alliances in the Beaujolais, Mâconnais, and Monts du Lyonnais regions, united by a shared commitment to heritage, independence, and the craft of honest, terroir driven winegrowing.

In the heart of the legendary Chianti Classico zone, the winery of Arillo in Terrabianca nurtures a special parcel: the Vigna Terrabianca vineyard, situated at their main Tenuta Terrabianca in Radda in Chianti. Across its three estates – Terrabianca in Chianti Classico, Il Tesoro in Maremma, and Colle Brezza in Val d’Orcia – the winery owns a total of 60 hectares of vineyards. 

In the gently rolling hills of western Chianti Classico, Isole e Olena stands as a benchmark for authenticity, vision, and the enduring value of old vines. Founded by Paolo De Marchi’s family, and shaped by his pioneering approach, the estate has built its reputation on a profound respect for vine heritage and terroir expression.

This story begins in 1946, when Italian immigrant Eugenio Gioachini  planted a Malbec vineyard in La Consulta in the Uco Valley of Mendoza, Argentina. He built a family home on the land and, with his wife, raised four daughters and a son. For decades Don Eugenio tended the vines with quiet dedication, working the vineyard until his death at the age of ninety.

Tucked into the dramatic slopes of the Dolomite mountain range—a UNESCO World Heritage site—Castel Katzenzungen rises above the village of Prissiano in South Tyrol. This romantic Renaissance castle, dating back to 1244, offers more than historic beauty: it safeguards one of the oldest and most extraordinary grapevines in the world.

In the steep, sun-drenched hills of Guia, one of the most revered crus in the Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG, lies a small winery entirely dedicated to the expression of old vines and heroic viticulture. This landscape—enshrined as a UNESCO World Heritage site—is the birthplace of Prosecco Superiore and home to generations of families who have preserved the region’s intricate patchwork of steep vineyards and ancient vines.

In the Alentejo sub-region of Vidigueira, Quinta do Paral has placed its old vines at the centre of its winemaking philosophy. More than 16 hectares of vineyards, many over 60 years old, yield small quantities of grapes with remarkable concentration and complexity. These low-yield vines define the estate’s Vinhas Velhas range, wines that stand out for their structure, balance, and authenticity.
