Cantina Capellini es una bodega familiar con un legado vinícola que abarca siete generaciones. Situada en el encantador pueblo de Volastra, en las Cinque Terre, la bodega está dirigida actualmente por Luciano Capellini, que aprendió el arte de la vinificación de su padre, Oreste, y de su abuelo, Bernardo. A Luciano le acompañan su hijo Mirco, que, a pesar de haberse criado en Parma, siempre ha considerado este trozo de costa ligur su hogar, y la mujer de Mirco, Laura. Volastra, donde siempre ha vivido la familia Capellini, es un pueblo que se ha adaptado con gracia a la afluencia del turismo, conservando al mismo tiempo su alma. Es un lugar donde las antiguas tradiciones agrícolas y vinícolas siguen siendo fundamentales para su identidad. El pueblo ofrece unas vistas impresionantes -desde el cielo arriba hasta el mar abajo- y está rodeado de viñedos sostenidos por legendarios muros de piedra seca. Este paisaje único, reconocido como Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO en 1997 y designado Parque Nacional en 1999, constituye el telón de fondo perfecto para los esfuerzos vitivinícolas de la familia Capellini. En la Cantina Capellini, el vino se elabora con la misma paciencia y dedicación transmitidas de generación en generación, combinando las técnicas tradicionales con los avances modernos en viticultura y vinificación. La bodega ha experimentado recientemente una transformación digital gradual, introduciendo cambios pequeños pero eficaces, pero manteniéndose fiel a sus valores fundamentales. También se ha hecho realidad un viejo sueño: crear un espacio de cata de vinos directamente en los viñedos con vistas al mar, ofreciendo un lugar especial donde los viajeros y los aficionados al vino puedan reunirse para disfrutar y apreciar los productos de cosecha propia de la familia.

The terraced land of Bargòn is on a hill on the back of Riomaggiore located at the end of the path that from Lavaccio leads to the litoranea road, the path than continues up to Madonna di Montenero and Telegrafo. Back in the 30’sRoberto’s, when Roberto’s father returned from the United States (where he had emigrated ) because of filossera, a fungus of the wines which killed all the plants, and in so doing disrupted the local economy. He bought the ruines and the land located in such a splendid position, sunny and with a wonderful breeze to grow grapes.For this reason Roberto is sometimes locally called “il figlio dell’americano” The son of the american. For this reason Roberto is sometimes locally called “il figlio dell’americano” The son of the american. From then onwards Roberto and his brothers have been growing grapes in the terraces of Bargòn.

Our winery is the oldest in La Spezia. For four generations we have been carrying on with commitment and passion the traditions handed down from father to son for the production of our wines. The nucleus from which it all began is in the heart of the Colli di Luni, where 17 hectares of vineyards extend like a scrub from Castelnuovo to the hills of Arcola, passing through Sarzana and La Spezia. Our winery in the Cinque Terre is more recently built, where we carefully and meticulously vinify the precious grapes that come from the 5 hectares of vineyard overlooking the sea. Each step in production is carefully followed by family members, who constantly work to innovate without losing the essence of the territory and remaining faithful to the family philosophy. We strongly believe in guided tours and in welcoming guests to the winery because in this way we can best convey our enthusiasm and our work linked to the territory.

We are located in Castelnuovo Magra, near La Spezia, in the area rising above the archaeologic site of the ancient town of Luni, where Liguria and Tuscany meet. Our family, from one generation to the next, has been growing vineyards since the late 1970s, in a hilly area close to the sea, getting the better of the rock-hard soil. Our vineyards, which spread over 10 hectares in the DOC Colli di Luni area, extend across Fosdinovo (near Massa), Sarzana and Castelnuovo (near La Spezia) where the winery is located. Age-old and top-quality grape varieties, which are deeply rooted in the local winegrowing tradition: Sangiovese and Vermentino, of which we enhance the main characteristics while preserving their genuineness. The winery’s symbol is the statue menhir, a prehistoric statue of uncertain date which was found in the Lunigiana area. It is depicted on the bottle labels, in a modern version, like a symbolic bridge connecting the past and the present.

The productive structure of Baia del Sole is at the cutting edge of its field: the winemaking area is equipped with the latest technology, and the modern isobaric bottling ensures the utmost care in packaging. The new winery which covers 1600 square meters was inaugurated in 2015 and is structured to blend in with the surrounding landscape: it has been designed and built according to the principles of bio-architecture. This winery which complements the other three existing historic structures, represents the wish to reduce environmental impact and maximise energy savings.The architectural features, at the cost of a great economic effort, function to ensure an environment ideal for wine production whilst respecting the environment. For this reason, the structure, despite being only a few hundred meters from the sea, was conceived almost entirely underground, and has adopted strategies and bioclimatic solutions. The unique and particular choice to build below sea level, aims to harness the natural stability of temperature and humidity guaranteed by the constant presence of the underground aquifer. The underground level houses air-conditioned rooms, used as the barrel room which is the heart of the winery. The area is equipped with barrique and tonneau barrels to allow the wines to rest and mature. The technological solutions used in the wine cellar ensure total control over every stage of production. Solar panels, natural cooling systems, shielded electrical systems, and the use of wood, stone and brick facings are just some of the tricks used to make the structure environmentally friendly and well integrated in an area of great environmental and archaeological sensitivity.

We are the proud owners of a vineyard in one of the most beautiful part of Italy. The place we are referring to is “Costa de Sera”, a peculiar tract of the coast-line with a special microclimate and steep slopes dominating the small bay of Canneto (part of the 5 Lands protected area). The will to give life back again to the “Garden of Litàn”, as grandfather used to call it, spurred us in the year 2000 to begin our adventure recovering and establishing the family vineyards that had lied abandoned for many years. With great passion, dedication, and hard work we finally opened our wine factory in 2006 and, in honour to our grandfather Giulio, we named it “Cantine Litàn”, (Litàn cellars).

La cantina di un tempo rappresentava l'economia della famiglia, la chiave era tenuta dal patriarca che assieme alla moglie deteneva l'autorità assoluta ed incontestabile. Quando un giovane si sposava e metteva su casa per proprio conto fuoriusciva dal sistema patriarcale originario e formava una nuova casata. Il capostipite della nostra famiglia è stato Capellini Domenico detto il "Begheo" e la moglie Capellini Giulia. Entrambi di Volastra. E' con il soprannome "I Beghee" che verrà identificata la nuova casata... "Facciamo il vino come lo facevano loro, come ci hanno insegnato negli anni, con pazienza e dedizione i nostri genitori e i nostri nonni. Guardiamo però al futuro con la stessa curiosità con cui guardiamo il passato."

A relationship between man and nature that goes beyond trade: Give the soul to plants and see that they reciprocate, talk to them like a son. These feelings you bring in and one day bloom after knowing the kind Francesca, the owner of an old house and the farm Bacchiano: One hectare of land planted with vines and olive trees in ancient drawings, a corner of paradise rented to begin adventure with Laura. We learn the basics on pruning and the ancient winemaking, but already the idea of a short pruning, replanting of selected vines and careful care to recover the old plants, wine-making in "white" to take perfumes and aromas from grapes . The climate right, sincerity, humility to ask and learn, perseverance and love of nature are the many ingredients to take forward the idea of a wine "alive", which has the flavor of grapes and Mediterranean smell. We would like to produce a wine that is "good" for the people and transmit emotion to the connoisseur. The quality wins over the expense of quantity and these lines written and dictated by a quite lifestyle, like today and remain quiet ... ... tomorrow after us.

The family Zangani, original of the ancient village of Ponzano, location of the municipality of Santo Stefano Magra (Province of La Spezia) with an enviable exposure which offers a breathtaking view over the valley of the river Magra, started farming in area since 19th century. Today, with renewed passion, the Farm Zangani has reconstituted the prestigious agricultural fund of Mortedo, old farm already administered by the Malaspina family and at a later bought by Cav. Alberto Fabbricotti, tycoon in nearby Carrara marble, who wanted it for the reputation of agricultural products grown, especially wine and oil. Over the years have added other farms such as: Luisito, the Boceda, Montale, the Fontolo, the Piana, and the Carbonin, and others, everyone already voted for traditional oil production from old olive trees and the cultivation of vines. The new vitality of the Zangani family on agricultural activity of the farm exalts the old vocation of this land, which enjoy an enviable microclimate from the hills and the nearby sea areas.

Due gazze che sorreggono un grappolo d'uva. È questo il marchio dell'Azienda Vitivinicola Fratelli Giannarelli, due fratelli alla quinta generazione di vignaioli nel territorio di Bolano, in provincia della Spezia. Classe 1961 Enrico e 1968 Massimiliano, i fratelli Giannarelli hanno ereditato dai famigliari, a cominciare dalla mamma Maria Giulia Scapazzoni e dallo zio Oreste, un amore vero e concreto per la terra. Pur dedicandosi anche ad altre attività, dal 2009, da quando hanno trasformato una tradizione di famiglia in un’azienda a tutti gli effetti, non hanno mai mancato una vendemmia, facendo della vigna il loro luogo del cuore e non solo. Per Enrico e Massimiliano la vigna è gioco e passione ma anche calcolo e sperimentazioni. E soprattutto è casa.

Lunae was built on the dreams and passion of Paolo Bosoni, who inherited the family land in 1966, whereupon he made the switch from an agricultural operation to a winery. Lunae’s vineyards are located in eastern Liguria near the Apuan Alps in the wine zone of Colli di Luni DOC. Today, Paolo supervises and coordinates the work in the cellar and the vineyards with the help of his brother, Lucio.

L'orizzonte del fondatore della Cantina Sassarini, Natale, era decisamente orientato al futuro. Percepì la qualità e l’interesse economico nella produzione di un vino locale, ancor prima che la DENOMINAZIONE D’ORIGINE, venisse sancita con il disciplinare del 1973. In famiglia tutti facevano vino per l’autoconsumo e Natale deve aver percepito le potenzialità di un mercato vinicolo che poteva svilupparsi negli anni. Costruì, quindi, la sua cantina e raccolse intorno a sé numerosi contadini che coltivavano incessantemente le loro vigne con orgoglio e maestria. Pochi altri seguirono questa strada, ma nell’ultimo ventennio un gruppo di “angeli matti” (cit: Veronelli) ha recuperato le terre dei nonni e dei padri, costruendo muretti a secco e piantando nuovamente la vigna. L’orizzonte di Natale Sassarini sembra ora fondersi nell’orizzonte di tutti i vignaioli delle Cinque Terre e del figlio Giancarlo che ne porta avanti con orgoglio il lavoro cominciato mezzo secolo fa. Il cinquantesimo della Cantina Sassarini può essere la prima pietra per consolidare una tradizione enoica delle Cinque Terre che sino ad oggi è mancata.

Liguria is like a crescent set on the sea. The luminous Tyrrhenian blooms its shores, the Alps and the Apennines - which stay close to it - protect it from winds and invasions. This long, narrow, arched strip of earth, green of palms and olive trees, with colorful houses, scented of flowers, oranges, jasmine and salty, where the most tasty fruits ripen, where the vineyards on the rocks climb between pines and cypresses, where soft hills alternate with rough and steep riviere, is only apparently a continental region contiguous to Piedmont, Lombardy, Emilia and Tuscany: indeed it is an island. (A. Morassi, Through Italy -T.C.I.- Milan 1949).
