Tenuta del Buonamico brings Montecarlo’s white-wine tradition into a modern estate format, with guided tastings, cellar visits, food-pairing options, and a broad portfolio across still and sparkling wines.

Bibbona, Italy
Tenuta del Nicchio is a small Upper Maremma wine project in Bibbona, launched in 2018 by Lodovico and Sophia Antinori.

Castelplanio, Italy
Tenuta dell'Ugolino is a small family-owned winery in Castelplanio, focused on Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi and organic farming across an 8-hectare estate.

Cormons, Italy
Tenuta della Casa is a small estate winery and countryside hospitality address in Cormons, set between the Collio hills and the Preval plain.

Cortona, Italy
Tenuta Montecchiesi - Dal Cero is a Cortona wine estate where Syrah carries the argument: clay-rich hillside soils, altitude, breezes and bush-trained vines shape a portfolio built around structure rather than spectacle. The Dal Cero family has owned the estate since 1980, and the emphasis remains agricultural, quiet and terroir-led, with Klanis, Versý in rosé, Camelý and Miraly framing the range.
Montemagno, Italy
Tenuta Montemagno reads as Monferrato wine country in concentrated form: a historic estate setting, roughly 100 hectares of vineyards, and a portfolio built around Ruchè, Timorasso, Barbera and Grignolino.

Cesena, Italy
A family-run Romagna estate in Cesena, Tenuta Neri Giovanni e Valeria is strongest when read through its vineyards: Sangiovese, Albana and other regional varieties grown on gentle hillside slopes within Romagna DOC/DOCG territory.

Pieve Di Soligo, Italy
Tenuta Ninemore is a small family-run winery in Pieve Di Soligo, set within the Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG area and focused on sparkling wine from Glera.

Sorso, Italy
Tenuta Nureghe Crabioni is a Sardinian estate in Sorso where the wine story is tied to hillside vineyards, the Gulf of Asinara, and an ancient nuraghe on the property.

Sava, Italy
Tenuta Ognissole is a biodynamic winery estate in Sava, Puglia, shaped around native regional grapes and a vineyard-led visit format.

Incisa Scapaccino, Italy
Tenuta Olim Bauda is a family-run Monferrato estate in Incisa Scapaccino, grounded in organic farming, Piedmontese varieties, and a historic mansion whose roots reach back to 1220.

Arcidosso, Italy
Tenuta Oliveto is a small organic wine and olive oil estate tied to Calabria’s Pollino National Park, with still red and white wines, vineyard context, and a quiet farm setting rather than a polished resort format.

Riparbella, Italy
Tenuta Pakravan Papi is a Costa Toscana wine estate in Riparbella where the Tuscan agriturismo model is treated as a full-day format: cellar, table, garden, pool and hillside views under one roof.

Ozzano Dell Emilia, Italy
Tenuta Palazzona di Maggio is a fourth-generation Emilia-Romagna estate in Ozzano Dell Emilia, working 15.50 hectares of vines within a wider 60-hectare holding.

Montalcino, Italy
Tenuta Poggio il Castellare is a heritage-led Montalcino winery shaped by Brunello, Sangiovese Grosso, and a family line traced to 1489. The experience is broad for a wine estate: guided tastings, barrel-room dining, agriturismo-style lodging, organic-oriented farming, and a hillside Val d’Orcia setting that makes terroir part of the visit rather than a cellar talking point.
Piombino, Italy
Tenuta Poggio Rosso is a small estate winery in Piombino, shaped by coastal Tuscan conditions, vineyard surroundings, olive groves, pinewood, and Mediterranean scrub.

Annone Veneto, Italy
Tenuta Polvaro is a reservation-led wine estate in Annone Veneto, set inside a 17th-century village surrounded by vineyards in the Lison Pramaggiore area.

Bagnaria Arsa, Italy
Tenuta Pribus is a Friulian estate winery in Bagnaria Arsa shaped by vineyard scale, regional varieties, and a hospitality format built around tastings rather than spectacle.

Rome, Italy
Tenuta Principe Alberico gives Rome a rare wine-estate story: volcanic soils, Appian Way history, and a small Lazio IGT portfolio shaped by organic-minded farming. Its interest lies less in conventional cellar-door spectacle than in how international varieties planted from 1946 onward were made to speak from a Roman site with aristocratic and Antinori family continuity.
Monsummano Terme, Italy
Tenuta Querciamatta is a modern organic wine-and-olive-oil estate in Monsummano Terme, shaped less by old-cellar nostalgia than by Tuscan land recovery, Sangiovese, and a design-led hospitality format.

Montalcino, Italy
Tenuta Querciarossa is a small-production Maremma estate in Montalcino territory, shaped less by trophy culture than by a dense archaeological setting.

Monforte d'Alba, Italy
Tenuta Rocca is a family-run Barolo estate in Monforte d'Alba, shaped by organic farming, Nebbiolo, and an 18th-century farmhouse setting in the Ornati area.

Cuceglio, Italy
Tenuta Roletto gives Cuceglio a clear Canavese identity: Erbaluce di Caluso DOCG, vineyard views, and an estate format that links local white wines, sparkling releases, and regional reds to the morainic hills around the town.

Costigliole d'Asti, Italy
Tenuta Ronzano is a third-generation family wine estate in Costigliole d'Asti, rooted in Barbera country yet stretched into Neive for Barbaresco and Nebbiolo. Its appeal lies in a reservation-led tasting format, a portfolio spanning Barbera d'Asti DOCG, Barbaresco DOCG, Alta Langa DOCG, Langhe DOC and Piemonte DOC, and an autumn truffle-hunting thread that ties wine to Piedmont’s rural calendar.
Pozzolengo, Italy
Tenuta Roveglia is a historic family-run Lugana estate in Pozzolengo, shaped by Turbiana, glacial clay-limestone soils and the southern Lake Garda wine tradition.

Suvereto, Italy
Tenuta Rubbia al Colle belongs to the Suvereto side of Tuscan wine culture: red-wine country, Mediterranean in temperament, and tied closely to Val di Cornia’s sense of place.

Farra di Soligo, Italy
Tenuta San Gallo is a small-scale hillside winery in Farra di Soligo, working inside the Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG zone. The draw is less about spectacle than terrain: steep vineyards, Glera-focused sparkling wine, quiet rural atmosphere, and an appointment-only format suited to visitors who want the Prosecco Hills at estate level rather than from a tasting-room circuit.
Gangi, Italy
Tenuta San Giaime brings Sicily’s inland mountain viticulture into focus: organic farming, small-scale hospitality, and a Madonie setting around 900 meters above sea level. The draw is not cellar spectacle but altitude, mixed agriculture, and a portfolio that moves between Syrah, Grillo, Pinot Noir, Nerello Mascalese, Perricone, and Carricante.
Montalcino, Italy
Tenuta San Giorgio is a terroir-led Brunello estate in Montalcino, focused entirely on Sangiovese from southeast-facing vineyards shaped by Monte Amiata, woodland, and varied soils.

Treviso, Italy
Tenuta San Giorgio gives Treviso’s wine country a river-island reading: Prosecco-led, family-run, and tied to the Grave di Papadopoli between the bends of the Piave.

High above Gaiole in Chianti, Tenuta San Vincenti reads through altitude, galestro soils, forest cover, and a focused Chianti Classico portfolio rather than through spectacle.

Tenuta San Vito in Fior di Selva is a Tuscan agriturismo and organic wine estate in Montelupo Fiorentino, shaped by vineyards, olive groves, woodland, gardens, and a small lake.

San Quirico d'Orcia, Italy
Tenuta Sanoner is a modern Val d’Orcia winery where Sangiovese, biodynamic farming and hospitality sit inside a carefully designed rural format.

Solopaca, Italy
Tenuta Sant'Agostino is a small Solopaca winery shaped by old vines, biodynamic farming and amphora work rather than scale or awards. Its appeal lies in the way Trebbiano Toscano, Malvasia di Candia and Aglianico are used to frame a quiet Beneventano IGT expression of clay, sand and river stone.
Loncon Di Annone, Italy
Tenuta Sant'Anna is a large Veneto-Friuli border estate shaped by clay soils, Lison Pramaggiore DOC identity, and a broad portfolio of still and sparkling wines.

Colognola ai Colli, Italy
Tenuta Sant'Antonio is a family-run Valpolicella estate in Colognola ai Colli, shaped by hillside vineyards between the Illasi and Mezzane valleys.

Grazzano Badoglio, Italy
A restored Monferrato wine estate in Grazzano Badoglio, Tenuta Santa Caterina is strongest when read through land rather than luxury shorthand: native grapes, underground infernot cellar culture, and small-group tastings shape the visit.

Negrar Di Valpolicella, Italy
Tenuta Santa Maria brings Valpolicella Classica into focus through an 18th-century villa, ancient cellars, walled vineyards, and a Bertani family lineage tied to Veronese wine history. The estate’s strongest argument is terroir: Corvina-led reds, Soave, cru bottlings, long-aged Amarone, and sustainable vineyard work are framed around site rather than sheer scale.
Acri, Italy
Tenuta Santa Venere reads as Calabria through farming rather than cellar theatre: an organic estate in Acri with vines, citrus, and orchards across a broad rural holding. Its interest lies in the mixed agricultural context behind the wines, with Aglianico, Magliocco, Pecorello, and Moscato tied to a working-estate format rather than a polished tasting-room model.
Ripatransone, Italy
Tenuta Santori is a small, family-run Marche winery in Ripatransone, built around Pecorino, Passerina, Montepulciano, Sangiovese and Trebbiano rather than an international-varietal playbook.

Avellino, Italy
Tenuta Sarno 1860 is a small Avellino winery defined by Fiano rather than range: one grape, a single-site identity in Candida, and an organic farming approach on high Campanian hills.

Bellinzona, Switzerland
Tenuta Sasso Chierico is a small-production Ticino DOC estate in Bellinzona shaped by Gudo’s sun, slopes, and granitic gneiss soils. The draw is not spectacle but site translation: Merlot in several forms, a Merlot blanc with Chardonnay, Carminoir, Divico, and a quiet appointment-led tasting format built around wine education.
Grosseto, Italy
Tenuta Sassoregale gives the Maremma a modern architectural frame: organic vineyards, Sangiovese-led reds, Vermentino, and a Cini Boeri-designed winery set in the Grosseto countryside. The estate reads less like old-Tuscany nostalgia than a study in coastal influence, clay soils, and contemporary cellar choices under the Maremma Toscana DOC banner.
Tirano, Italy

Montevarchi, Italy
Tenuta Scrafana is a small, appointment-led Tuscan winery in Montevarchi with a sustainability-forward estate identity and a portfolio that moves from Chianti Superiore DOCG to Toscana IGT reds, white, rosato, and a limited-edition macerated white.

Lapio, Italy
Tenuta Scuotto gives Lapio’s high-elevation Irpinia vineyards a precise, soil-led reading, with Fiano, Greco, Falanghina and Aglianico forming the core of the cellar.

Bibbona, Italy
Tenuta Sette Cieli reads as a high-elevation Bolgheri-orbit estate rather than a conventional coastal cellar door. Its 10 hectares of vines sit within an 80-hectare property above Bibbona, with organic hand farming, Bordeaux varieties, wild-yeast fermentations, and French oak shaping a red-wine portfolio led by Indaco, Scipio, Noi 4, and Yantra.
Monteforte d'Alpone, Italy
Tenuta Solar is a family-run Soave Classico DOCG winery in Monteforte d'Alpone, shaped around Garganega, local vineyard country, and a relaxed tasting format rather than a formal cellar-door performance. The draw is the combination of small-scale production, guided cellar and vineyard visits, and a courtyard setting that keeps the emphasis on place.
Dolegna del Collio, Italy
Tenuta Stella is a small Collio DOC estate in Dolegna del Collio shaped by terraced vineyards, woodland, ponca soils, and a clear organic farming stance. The draw is the way Friulano, Ribolla Gialla, Malvasia Istriana, and local reds translate this alpine-and-Adriatic corner of Friuli into structured, site-led wines rather than generic tasting-room polish.
Menfi, Italy
Tenuta Stoccatello is a small rural estate in Menfi, set in a nineteenth-century Sicilian baglio among vineyards about 8 km from the sea. Its appeal is not a producer-led wine program but the slower agriturismo rhythm: 18 rooms, country-estate quiet, restaurant service, outdoor pool, spa facilities, and a base for western Sicily.
Serralunga Di Crea, Italy
Tenuta Tenaglia is a historic Monferrato estate in Serralunga di Crea, framed by hillside vineyards, mountain views, and a quiet countryside rhythm. Its appeal sits in the overlap of wine education and rural hospitality: guided tastings, private formats, estate grounds, and a setting tied to Barbera, Grignolino, Chardonnay, and Syrah rather than trophy-chasing cellar theatre.
S Polo In Chianti, Italy
Tenuta Terre del Castello di Tizzano is a small Chianti winery in S Polo In Chianti, framed by a historic Tuscan estate setting and a quiet countryside mood.

Valdobbiadene, Italy
Tenuta Torre Zecchei suits travelers who want Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore in its cellar-door context rather than as a label on a shelf.

Valiano Di Montepulciano, Italy
Tenuta Trerose is a large, estate-led Vino Nobile di Montepulciano producer in Valiano di Montepulciano, shaped by Sangiovese, five hillside vineyards, and the 16th-century Villa Romizi. The draw is terroir clarity rather than cellar-door theatre: amphitheatre-shaped slopes, Lake Trasimeno’s moderating influence, and a portfolio anchored by Santa Caterina and Simposio.
Crecchio, Italy
Tenuta Ulisse represents the modern face of Abruzzo wine: polished, aromatic, and broad in scope rather than tied to a single flagship bottle. The Crecchio winery works across Montepulciano, Pecorino, Passerina, Trebbiano, Cococciola, Chardonnay, rosé, and sparkling formats, making it a useful lens on how the region’s native grapes now meet contemporary cellar precision.
Cecina, Italy
Tenuta Utulivu is a Cecina winery listing that belongs to Tuscany’s broader coastal wine-tourism circuit rather than the heavily documented cellar-door canon.

Magliano In Toscana, Italy
Tenuta Valdifalco - Loacker Wine Estates reads through Maremma rather than through cellar theatrics: Sangiovese, sea air, red loamy soils, and the quieter agricultural scale of Magliano in Toscana.

Montepulciano, Italy
Tenuta Valdipiatta is a small family-owned estate winery in Montepulciano focused on Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG and Sangiovese, known locally as Prugnolo Gentile.

Caltagirone, Italy
A small organic-minded winery near Caltagirone, Tenuta Valle delle Ferle is strongest when read through place: Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG, old Nero d’Avola and Frappato plantings, and an 18th-century millstone adapted into a cellar. Tastings lean educational and food-led, with English and Italian formats that run from concise cellar visits to longer masterclasses and meals.
Bardolino, Italy
Tenuta Valleselle - Tinazzi is a Bardolino wine estate shaped by Lake Garda hillside agriculture: vineyards, olive groves, woodland, and a restored country-house setting. Its clearest expression is Bardolino Classico DOC, built on Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara, with short oak maturation and a lighter red-wine profile geared toward food rather than cellar spectacle.
Santeramo In Colle, Italy
Tenuta Viglione 1937 is a certified-organic Apulian winery in Santeramo In Colle, shaped by the altitude and limestone character of the Bari Murgia.

San Pietro In Cariano, Italy
Tenuta Villa Bellini is a small Valpolicella Classica estate in San Pietro in Cariano shaped by an 18th-century villa, a walled Brolo, and organic viticulture practiced since 1989.

Ostra Vetere, Italy
Tenuta Villa Bucci is a Verdicchio-led wine estate in Ostra Vetere, shaped by Marche hillside vineyards, calcareous-clay soils, and cooling Adriatic influence.

Castelnuovo Scrivia, Italy
Tenuta Villa Ova is a quiet, rustic wine estate in Castelnuovo Scrivia, set within Piedmont’s agricultural orbit rather than the polished cellar-door circuit.

Coldrerio, Switzerland
A small Coldrerio winery for visitors who want Ticino through red wine rather than spectacle. Tenuta Vitivinicola Trapletti works in Mendrisiotto’s Merlot tradition, with Cabernet Franc and a Ticino interpretation of Nebbiolo adding the more pointed regional argument.
