In the historic winemaking cradle of Georgia, where viticulture dates back over 8,000 years, Eclipse Winery is charting a bold path that bridges heritage and innovation. Founded in 2019 by a group of longtime colleagues from the IT industry, Eclipse is a newcomer to the Georgian wine scene with an ambitious vision — and deep respect for the land’s ancestral vines.

When “The Flying Scotsman” Norrel Robertson MW landed in Spain with his family back in 2003, he quickly saw the quality potential of the old vines grow in varied terroirs across Calatayud, Aragón, the birthplace of Garnacha. The family made it their mission to seek out and revive old Garnacha vineyards.

Situated in the picturesque hills of Tuscany, Poggio La Tana epitomizes the enduring bond between land, family, and tradition. This boutique winery spans two hectares and produces fewer than 10,000 bottles annually, emphasizing quality over quantity. At its heart lies the “Vigna Vecchia,” a historic one-hectare vineyard planted in 1965 by the family’s patriarch, Giuseppe “Beppe” Michelini.

In the heart of Italy’s Marche region, nestled within the serene valley of Matelica, lies IANAI—a winery where passion for viticulture intertwines with a profound respect for history and sustainability. Founded by Fabrizio Sepe, IANAI stands as a testament to the belief that old vines are unparalleled storytellers of their terroir.

Perched atop the scenic hills of Rovereto in Trentino, Azienda Agricola Dalzocchio epitomizes a harmonious blend of tradition, sustainability, and familial dedication. Established in 1979 by Riccardo Dalzocchio and his daughter Elisabetta, the estate transformed from uncultivated land into a flourishing vineyard dedicated exclusively to Pinot Noir. Today, it spans two hectares of vineyards and an equal expanse of forest, producing approximately 8,000 bottles annually.

Tucked into the verdant hills of Tramonti—the “green heart” of the Amalfi Coast—Tenuta San Francesco is a living tribute to the past and a shining example of what the future of wine can be when tradition, sustainability, and passion converge. Founded in 2004 by four childhood friends—Gaetano and Generoso Bove, Vincenzo D’Avino, and Luigi Giordano—the estate was born not just to make wine, but to save history. 

Casale del Giglio, founded in 1967 by Dino Santarelli, stands as a beacon of innovation in the Italian wine industry, nestled in the Agro Pontino valley just south of Rome. Unlike the more traditional viticulture areas in the Lazio region, this valley was largely untapped for wine production when Santarelli envisioned its potential. 

Basilisco Winery, located in Barile within the province of Potenza, is a prestigious estate in the renowned Vulture wine region of Basilicata in Southern Italy. Originally founded in the early 1990s, the winery was acquired by the Capaldo family (of Feudi di San Gregorio) in 2011 as part of their Tenute Capaldo project, which aims to cultivate high-quality wines while respecting the traditions and terroirs across Italy.
