For generations, Poderi Marcarini has been a custodian of some of the Langhe’s most historic vineyards. Located in La Morra, the family estate farms 25 hectares of vines, producing around 130,000 bottles annually from Nebbiolo, Dolcetto, Barbera, Arneis and Moscato. At the heart of the estate are five hectares of old vines, whose historical, genetic and cultural significance defines Marcarini’s identity.

At the heart of Cocci Grifoni are two historic vineyards that embody the estate’s philosophy: the Vigna Madre Pecorino and Vigna Messieri. More than old vineyards, they are living archives of Marche viticulture, shaped by decades of adaptation to the area’s soils, slopes, and climatic conditions.

Located at the heart of the prestigious Moulin-à-Vent appellation in northern Beaujolais,Château du Moulin-à-Vent has been rooted in this historic landscape since 1732. The estatetakes its name from the iconic windmill dating back to 1550 and farms 30 hectares ofvineyards surrounding the château and the hamlet of Les Thorins.

At the centre of the historic Barbaresco zone, Castello di Neive represents one of the Langhe’s most important custodians of old-vine heritage with its identity is deeply rooted in the historic old vineyards of Santo Stefano and Basarin.

In the rolling hills of Dogliani, where Dolcetto has shaped both landscape and identity for generations, Anna Maria Abbona stands as a compelling example of how old vines can preserve not only a grape variety, but also the cultural memory of a territory.

Rising from the sun-baked landscapes of Puglia’s Ionian coast, Masseria Le Fabriche is a place where old vines, ancient olive trees, and centuries of rural heritage converge in a single, living landscape, centred around a restored 17th-century masseria.

On the southern edge of the Primitivo di Manduria appellation, where vineyards meet Mediterranean scrub and the Ionian Sea lies just beyond the coastal horizon, Agricola Felline stands as one of Puglia’s most articulate interpreters of terroir and old-vine heritage.

Azienda Agricola Faraone has built its identity around the preservation of old vineyards and the protection of a distinctly territorial expression of Montepulciano, with its heart lying in three hectares of historic pergola-trained vineyards planted in 1962 and the 1980s that give shape to the winery’s most iconic wines.
