5 Podere Il Saulino Il Saulino ROYALTY IMPORTERS LLC In 1529 Novi Ligure was included in the Republic of Genoa and the Marquese of Sauli became the new owner of lands and estates in Novi Ligure including the estates of Podere il Saulino and Palazzo Sauli. The Sauli family gave to Genoa 29 senators and 3 Doge. At the end of the 19th century the Sauli property became part of the estate of Count Edilio Raggio. In 1970 it was bought by the current owner Giancarlo Ariano. Today the family company is run by Ariano Giancarlo, Ornella and Pierfranco. The estate covers an area of 12 hectars of which 9 are vineyards cultivated exclusively with Cortese grapes. Viticulture has always been practiced in this area and during the Raggio administration it specialized in the culture of the Cortese grape. This is the grape used to produce Gavi wine which is now a DOCG (Denomination of Controlled and Guaranteed Origin). The Gavi produced by Podere il Saulino is quite unique due to the fact that the vineyards are positioned facing South- West and are exposed to the sunlight from dawn to dusk. The methods of cultivation and pruning do not allow for large quantities but a reduced amount of stems in order to obtain higher sugar concentration and better quality. No chemicals are used in the vineyards and only natural methods are applied for the preservation and cultivation of the plant. During vinification and bottling all procedures are carried out with the use of sophisticated technology. The wine production is personally taken care of by Giancarlo who is also oenologist.

48 De Luca F.lli De Luca The activity of the F.lli De Luca starts in 1970 from the passion and love for grapes and vines of Uncle Remo and Papà Nunziato. The 2 hectares of vineyards, planted and cultivated with great care soon became 22 and are now managed by the competence, professionality and renewed passion of the two brothers Luciano and Remo. The most fertile and fruitful inheritance received from Remo and Nunziato is the great passion for vine growing and the love of their territory which are reflected in the modern and efficient management of the family company which aims at high profile results with ethical procedures. The hills in the area of Mozzagrogna represents the perfect habitat for the vine cultivation. Already two centuries ago the Count Genoino from Castel di Septe guessed the virtues of this small but enchanting strip of Hither Abruzzi.
