Fontanafredda

A renowned producer of Barolo, Fontanafredda has been noble since the start. Count Emanuele Alberto di Mirafiore founded the winery in 1858 on the hunting grounds of his father, King Vittorio Emanuele II. More than 150 years later, the estate still makes wines of the highest caliber, with respect for the land, passion for vinicultural tradition and innovative technology.

Umani Ronchi

From Le Marche to Abruzzo, Umani Ronchi cultivates 210 hectares of vineyards organically, respecting nature, the land and the people who work it. The range runs from classic Verdicchio and Montepulciano varietals to innovative blends, each reflecting the terroir and expertise behind the winery.

Pallini Limoncello

Pallini has been perfecting this lemon liqueur since 1875. Zesty and sweet, it is an Italian classic that works in any season.

Nino Negri

Nino Negri has made wine in the Valtellina region for over 120 years, with a commitment to the area's winemaking heritage. Its Nebbiolo wines express the Alpine terroir.

Casa E. di Mirafiore

Casa E. di Mirafiore sits in the heart of the Langhe, and its winemaking heritage dates back to the late 19th century. Its vineyards and cellars produce wines that reflect the Piedmont terroir, with tradition and innovation in every bottle.

Engine Gin

Engine Gin is an Italian gin distilled with 100% organic Italian ingredients. The award-winning package is inspired by the world of motor sports, and each bottle, reminiscent of an oil tin, is filled by hand. It is produced in small batches in the Alta Langa region of Northwestern Italy.

Taste the smooth flavors of sage from Piedmont, Sicilian lemons, Tuscan juniper berries, Calabrian licorice root, damask rose cultivated in Piedmont, spring water from the Alps and alcohol distilled from Italian wheat. Try it in your next Negroni.
