The Winery Project is virtually at its inception, but there are already many new developments. Our Taste Test for the wines from each winery is online and you can try it on the e-commerce websites of our partner companies.
But that’s not all.
Starting at the end of November, the companies in the Winery Project will have a special showcase on the Vinhood website.
After completing one of the tests in the widget that appears on our website (www.vinhood.com), the wines of the companies participating in the project will appear to the user, subdivided by #Character.
Purchases and sales will be handled by the winery itself, without any additional cost to customers.
Reducing the distance between producers and consumers isn’t only of financial benefit to both, but also provides the opportunity for consumers to get to know new wineries and for producers to open up their business to new clients through a super partes tool: The Taste Expert.
We welcome six new wineries: experience make us richer
Today we’d like to introduce six new companies that have joined the Winery Project.
Argiolas
The story of Argiolas, a reference point for Sardinian wine making, is one of tradition, respect for nature, and love for the region Established by Antonio Argiolas at the end of the 1930s, the winery expanded under his leadership and that of his sons, to whom he passed the baton. Today his grandchildren, the family’s third generation, work there.
Through their wines we’ll discover the fragrances and intense flavors of Sardinia, but also the perfect pairing with traditional dishes.
Agricola Il Dosso
Passionate, unconventional, and at the same time faithfully traditionalist, the Archetti father and son team are a true rarity in the landscape of Franciacorta’s wines. Alongside their production of very high quality sparkling wine made from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes, is their production of seductive and full-bodied reds in the Bordeaux style. In fact, it seems that this area (today known almost exclusively for its sparkling wines) was once the land of bold, strong, and structured reds.
If you’d like to get to know a side of Franciacorta that you’ve never seen before, then you must absolutely go and visit them.
Massimago
The name is derived from the words Maximum Agio, or “utmost comfort”, and it’s easy to understand why after visiting the winery even just once and having enjoyed its owners’ hospitality. Massimago is the oasis of peace, wellness, and tranquility that Camilla Rossi Chauvenet strongly desired. In 2003 she revived the family business with class and simplicity, adding a feminine and avant-garde touch, qualities that are fully embodied in each glass of Valpolicella.
Cella Grande
Among the twelve hills of Canavese, punctuated by rows of grape vines that face Lake Viverone, stands Cella Grande, an ancient Benedictine monastery adapted to become a winery known for its hospitality. The winery is named for the oldest part of the structure, known as the “Cella di San Michele”, a votive chapel built between the 11th and 12th centuries.
A place of well-being that’s rich in history, tradition, and above all flavors. Here the protagonists are two local varietals: Erbaluce di Caluso and Nebbiolo.
Dei Principi di Spadafora
For Francesco Spadafora, the business is much more than a winery: it’s the home that he grew up in and the home where he lives with his family. That’s why he never had any doubts about the type of farming he would adopt: everything had to organic.
Here the key word is sustainability, from the choice of corks to the use of bottles made with thinner glass. Go visit them in stunning Sicily. They’ll welcome you with many local products and dishes prepared with the vegetables from their garden.
Gaudio Bricco Mondalino
In love with their work and their region, the Gaudio family has held the name of Monferrato high for three generations.
More than a profession, theirs is a way of life and a “matter of roots”.
That’s why they seek a specific light and regional style for their wines. In fact, their motto is “Bibe cum Gaudio”, which means to produce balanced wines, ones that you finish without realizing it and that convey joy and conviviality.
