Languedoc-Roussillon

Languedoc-Roussillon is located in the south of France. It extends from the Rhône Valley and Provence in the east to the Spanish border in the southwest.

This region is home to 300,000 hectares of vineyards, making it the largest wine region in France.

While historically known for its inexpensive table wines, many producers have spent recent decades striving to enhance the quality of their wines.

Languedoc and Roussillon, the two sub-regions, are recognized for their unique red wine styles. Languedoc for its fruit-forward, full-bodied, and sometimes complex wines, and Roussillon for its riper, juicier blends.

Moulin de Gassac – Mas de Daumas Gassac

The Moulin de Gassac was created in the early 90s by the founder of Mas de Daumas Gassac, Aimé Guibert.

After the initiation of vine pull schemes, he started collaborating with local vine growers to preserve their vineyards. The Moulin de Gassac wines played a decisive role in preventing the disappearance of this terroir.

Thereafter, Mas de Daumas Gassac confirmed the wines’ unique identity with their own signature: Moulin de Gassac.

Marche

Located in central Italy, the region enjoys a very varied landscape going from mountains through hills to beautiful beaches, towering cliffs and clear blue waters.

Marche is best known as a white wine region, although it is also home to some reds of very high quality.

It has been the territory of the Verdicchio grape for more than 600 years. The wines are characterized by lively acidity and subtle herbaceous undertones.

Among the red wines of Marche, the finest are generally made from the Montepulciano grape and/or Sangiovese. The best DOCG is the intensely fragrant Rosso Conero Riserva.

Umani Ronchi

Umani Ronchi is a wine estate in Marche and Abruzzo producing Verdicchio, Montepulciano and others since 1957.

The Estate has a total surface area under vine of 210 hectares nestling between the hills and the sea along the Adriatic coast.

All the vineyards are farmed organically. For the winery, this was a technical decision rather than an ideological one.

In Italy, Umani Ronchi has been recognized “best winery of the Year” 2024.

In Asia, Jorio made its fame thanks to the manga “The Drops of God” by Gambero Rosso.

Friuli Venezia Giulia

The region is situated in Italy’s northeast and borders Slovenia and Austria.

Friuli Venezia Giulia overlooks the Adriatic Sea and is surrounded by high mountains, enclosing many different landscapes.

The cooking traditions are influenced by the Slavic, central European and Venetian cultures. The cuisine relies on simple recipes and genuine ingredients.

The most important typical product of the region is Prosciutto of San Daniele.

Other typical dishes of the area are polenta or “porcina”.

The dishes of the area are accompanied by red but mainly white wines. Can mention Refosco, Malvasia, Friulano, Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc and Ribolla.

Puiatti

The winery was founded in 1967 by Vittorio Puiatti in the northeastern corner of Italy’s Friuli region.

Puiatti’s approach to producing wines accepts no compromises. It can be defined by what they do NOT accept:

Oak, to keep a pure taste of the variety,

Over-ripening, to have a Low alcohol Fresh,

Maceration, to show a clean character,

Commercial yeast, to get a Natural Wine,

Must oxidation, to preserve Fragrance & Freshness.

This simple approach in limiting intervention results in extraordinarily complex wines, which showcase variety, typicity and purity.
