Wine Estate with Established International Recognition- Italy!

A wine estate already recognized on international markets, featuring a rare combination of three key factors:
an exceptionally high-potential territory, a brand already positioned in the United States, and a vast amount of unused production capacity.

We are in Gradisca d’Isonzo, within one of the most strategic wine corridors in North-East Italy:
between Collio, Isonzo, Slovenia, and the Central European axis.
Here, wine does not live on terroir alone. It thrives on logistics, export, and historical reputation.

Why this territory is a value multiplier

Eastern Friuli is one of the very few Italian areas where the following elements converge:

  • deep alluvial soils of the Isonzo River
  • a mitigated continental climate
  • a natural vocation for premium white wines
  • direct proximity to foreign markets (Austria, Germany, Slovenia)

This creates a structural advantage:

  • more stable agronomic costs
  • consistent quality
  • very high varietal recognizability
  • ease of export positioning

In addition, Gradisca is geographically central:
wine, slow tourism, cycling routes, cultural crossroads, Central European flows.
Here, wine tourism is not folkloric.
It is a natural extension of the export business.

The structural strengths of the asset

This asset has a feature that investors consider pure gold:
the entire value chain is concentrated in a single, compact corporate structure.

  • 35 hectares in one flat, contiguous block
  • 5 hectares of vineyards directly adjacent to the winery
  • perfect internal logistics
  • extremely efficient agricultural management

Another key element:
the gap between current production and potential production is enormous.

Today:

  • 60,000 bottles sold
  • 9,000 bottles bottled for the high-end segment
  • 200 quintals of grapes sold

At full capacity:

  • up to 300,000 bottles per year
  • without planting new vineyards
  • without building a new winery
  • with facilities already fully dimensioned

This means one very precise thing:
value is created here by saturating existing capacity, not by agricultural expansion.
Very few assets allow for this kind of clean industrial growth.

A distinctive element: an already established U.S. brand

Many wineries sell export dreams.
Here, export already exists.

  • Brand well known in the United States
  • Long-standing, consolidated distribution channel
  • Parker and Wine Spectator scores above 90
  • Pignolo recognized among the best in the world

This dramatically reduces:

  • commercial risk
  • time to market positioning
  • entry costs into premium markets

For an international group, this is a strategic accelerator.

Ideal buyer profile (clear target audience)

This estate is suitable for very specific profiles.

1. Medium-to-large wine groups

Looking for:

  • a production base in premium Friuli
  • a brand already positioned in the U.S.
  • immediate production capacity
  • integration with an existing export network

Here they can double or triple volumes without new agricultural investments.

2. International importers or distributors

Seeking to:

  • integrate production upstream
  • control quality and margins
  • own a proprietary European brand

This is a textbook case of perfect vertical integration.

3. Structured entrepreneurial families

Looking for:

  • a healthy company
  • debt-free
  • stable revenues
  • significant real estate assets
  • programmable growth

This is a true patrimonial asset, not a speculative one.

4. Platform-oriented investors

Aiming to:

  • create a premium Friuli white-wine hub
  • develop hospitality within the farmhouse
  • integrate tourism, wine club, and events

Not suitable for:

  • micro artisanal producers
  • operators without a commercial structure
  • purely passive financial projects

This asset requires industrial and commercial governance, not hobby-level management.

Why it is on the market now

This is a classic case of a virtuous entrepreneurial end-of-cycle.

The story is linear:

  • noble foundation
  • managerial relaunch in 1995
  • construction of an international brand
  • today: a healthy, debt-free company with stable revenues

But a structural limit has emerged:
production and asset capacity exceed the scale of the current management.

To fully exploit:

  • the potential 300,000 bottles
  • the 1,300 sqm farmhouse
  • the U.S. positioning

what is needed:

  • capital
  • a broader commercial structure
  • managerial organization

This is a sale driven by a need for scale, not by crisis.
And that is precisely the best moment to buy.

The nature of the transaction

This is a platform operation with integration and selective relaunch, structured on three very clear levels.

1. Production platform

  • 5 ha of compact vineyards
  • fully equipped modern winery
  • 4,050 hl capacity
  • plants and machinery already in place
  • potential of 300,000 bottles

An industrial base already built.

2. Commercial integration

For groups or importers:

  • synergies on U.S. export
  • synergies on European distribution
  • direct control of the supply chain
  • immediate margin expansion

Here, value is created along the commercial chain.

3. Wine tourism and real estate relaunch

An often underestimated element:

  • 1,300 sqm historic farmhouse
  • perfect location for hospitality
  • potential for wine resort, residence, or club house

This enables:

  • revenue diversification
  • brand strengthening
  • premium customer loyalty

Strategic summary

This asset is rare because it combines:

  • 130 years of real history
  • top-tier Friulian territory
  • compact vineyards adjacent to the winery
  • a brand already positioned in the U.S.
  • international recognition
  • massive unused production capacity
  • a debt-free company
  • stable revenues
  • available real estate leverage

It does not promise miracles.
It offers something far more valuable:
a ready-to-use industrial platform, with low risk and very high upside.

And that is exactly what serious buyers in the North-East wine sector are looking for today.

Historic winemaking platform already positioned

We’re in Vulture, one of the very few Italian regions where the connection between soil, grape variety, and reputation is so strong that it creates a natural territorial income. Aglianico del Vulture isn’t a grape variety: it’s a geographical brand.

With an industrial and wine tourism potential that today is worth much more than just wine production.

Here the asset unites three rare levels in the same perimeter:

high-quality DOCG production, unique historical heritage, wine tourism project already authorized.

Because the territory is a value multiplier

Vulture is an almost unrepeatable winemaking case.

Deep volcanic soils, high altitudes, strong temperature variations.
Result: wines with structure, longevity, and a recognizable taste signature.

But today the true value isn’t just agronomic. It’s strategic:

  • Aglianico del Vulture DOCG is one of the Southern Italian denominations with the greatest potential for premium repositioning.
  • Limited offering, identifiable terroir, growing international attention.
  • Area still undervalued compared to Barolo, Brunello, Etna: evident territorial upside .

Furthermore, Vulture is a narratively powerful territory:
monasticism, caves, wine presses, historic farmhouses.
Here, storytelling isn’t invented. It’s inherited.

The structural merits of the asset

This asset has a feature that many do not have:
it is already complete as a system .

  • 102 years of real, unreconstructed history.
  • Award-winning and recognized brand (Tre Bicchieri, 5 Grappoli, Top Hundred).
  • Vineyards in the first DOCG zone, with recent plantings and perfect exposure.
  • Functional cellar with authentic underground caves.
  • Historic real estate assets already recovered.
  • Wine tourism project already sized on a serious scale.

Key element:
Today, only a portion of the grapes are vinified for qualitative reasons.
This means something very specific for an investor:

there is latent production capacity already available , without new plants.

Few assets allow this kind of internal growth without heavy agricultural CAPEX.

Who is it suitable for (clear buyer profile)

This property is not for those looking for a 30,000-bottle “boutique” winery.

It is ideal for four very precise profiles.

1. Medium-large wine-growing groups

Looking for:

  • a premium production base in Southern Italy
  • a strong identity denomination
  • a historic brand already recognized
  • possibility of volume growth without new vineyards

Here they can build a reference Aglianico hub .

2. Wine & hospitality operators

What they want:

  • control reception production
  • develop high-end wine resorts
  • using wine as a lever for tourist traffic

Here, wine tourism isn’t a project: it’s already authorized infrastructure.

3. Structured entrepreneurial families

Looking for:

  • a real capital asset
  • agricultural real estate profitability
  • a brand to grow in 10–20 years

This is a real farm, not a toy farm.

4. Investors oriented towards territorial platforms

For:

  • create a premium Southern Italy platform
  • integrate production, hospitality, events, museum, retail
  • diversify with agritourism, oil, cosmetics, grappa

It is not suitable for:

  • artisanal micro-producers
  • purely passive financial projects
  • operators without managerial governance

What we need here is industrial government , not romanticism.

Why is it on the market now?

This is a classic case of a healthy end to the generational cycle .

Since 1922 the family has:

  • built land assets
  • created a recognized brand
  • invested in structures and vineyards
  • a serious wine tourism project has been launched

But today something typical happens in historical assets:

the potential future value exceeds the development capacity of current management .

It’s not a crisis sale.
It is a sale due to lack of financial and managerial scale for the next leap.

The project is ready.
All that’s missing is someone capable of bringing it into operation.

This is when the best assets change hands.

What kind of operation is it?

This is a selective bidding platform operation .

Three very clear levels.

1. Production platform

  • 9 hectares of DOCG in the first zone
  • expandable production capacity
  • complete cellar
  • already awarded brand

Solid, already functioning agricultural base.

2. Industrial relaunch

Possible:

  • progressive increase in vinified volumes
  • range rationalization
  • strengthening exports
  • development of premium lines

Here the margin is created on internal growth , not on explants.

3. Wine tourism and real estate development

Distinctive element:

  • 1000 m2 already designated as a wine resort
  • wine spa, museum, events, conferences
  • additional 1500 m2 in recognition
  • other high-level hospitality buildings

This allows for real diversification of revenues :

  • wine
  • welcome
  • events
  • oil
  • cosmetics
  • spirits

It’s not an agricultural bet.
It is a multifunctional platform already authorized .

In strategic summary

This asset is rare because it combines:

  • 102 years of royal history
  • Aglianico DOCG in the first zone
  • volcanic soils of the highest value
  • already recognized brand
  • latent production capacity
  • wine tourism project ready
  • historic real estate heritage
  • strong media visibility

It doesn’t promise any shortcuts.
It offers territorial control, a strong identity and real space to create value .

Strategic Asset – Winery in Chianti Classico (18 km from Florence)

In the heart of Italy’s most iconic viticulture—the Chianti Classico Gallo Nero region—just 18 km from Florence, we offer a 120-hectare agricultural and winemaking property that combines three factors that are extremely rare on the market today: prime terroir, historic DOCG rights, and a prestigious real estate system.

Here you don’t buy a company to build.

We are acquiring an already recognized platform , with a brand that has been present for over 60 years and a historic member of the Chianti Classico Consortium.

The territory: why this context multiplies the value

We are in the heart of the Chianti Classico region, on perfectly exposed hills at an altitude of 350 meters, with a direct view of Florence and the entire Ema Valley.

Three elements make this territory strategic today:

1. Core denomination of Italian wine
Chianti Classico is one of the few DOCGs in the world with:

  • international historical reputation
  • stable structural demand
  • strong attractiveness for foreign investors and high-end tourism

2. Proximity to Florence: a unique multiplier
18 km from the historic center means:

  • immediate wine tourism
  • premium hospitality
  • defensive real estate value even in difficult market scenarios

3. Complete agricultural vocation
120 hectares with a rare balance between:

  • 15.2 ha of vineyards (14.2 ha of Sangiovese Chianti Classico)
  • 17 hectares of olive groves (3,400 Leccino and Moraiolo trees)
  • forest, arable land, pastures

A truly self-sufficient agricultural system , not an isolated vineyard.

The asset’s strengths

Production and branding

  • Brand present on the market for over 60 years
  • Historic member of the Gallo Nero Consortium
  • Historical production at full capacity:
    • 40,000 bottles of Chianti Classico DOCG
    • 6,500 bottles of Chianti Classico Riserva
    • IGT reds, whites, Vin Santo, EVO oil

This is fundamental: you don’t start from scratch .
The brand exists, the rights exist, the name is active.

Cellar and infrastructure

Complete winemaking facility (400 m2):

  • cement capacity over 3,000 hl
  • large barrels, small barrels for Vin Santo
  • winemaking, refinement, and bottling premises
  • historic jar cellar with 19th century terracotta jars

A “real” cellar, not a symbolic one.
Ready to quickly return to normal operations with targeted investments.

Real estate system: the real multiplier

Here the asset becomes a wine hospitality real estate platform :

  • Historic 800 sq m manor house with swimming pool and panoramic view
  • 2 independent housing units (200 sq m 150 sq m)
  • Farmhouse with 280 sq m barn to be restored
  • Panoramic 440 sq m stone farmhouse on the ridge

An ideal base for:

  • charming relais
  • wine resort
  • clubhouse for hosting customers and investors

Real estate value already estimated at over 2.8 million for buildings alone.

Who is it suitable for (ideal buyer profile)

This operation is perfect for three very clear profiles:

1. Medium-large wine-growing group

For:

  • enter or strengthen in the Chianti Classico
  • integrate a “core” denomination into the portfolio
  • have a proprietary hospitality base in Tuscany

Typical profile: already structured group, active export, industrial vision.

2. International wine & lifestyle investor

For:

  • acquire a historic brand in an iconic DOCG
  • build a high-end wine resort
  • combine agricultural yield with real estate and tourism

Ideal profile: foreign entrepreneur, family office, lifestyle funds.

3. Italian entrepreneur in asset diversification

For:

  • enter the wine industry with a “protected” asset
  • invest in a real asset with very high value retention
  • building a family wine-hospitality platform

Why is it on the market now?

This is a typical passage of many large historic properties:

  • the company has not been operated at full capacity since 2019
  • vineyards, olive groves and buildings need maintenance and revitalization
  • Today, ownership requires a structured operator , not a family management

In other words:
it’s not a quality issue,
it is a generational and industrial passage .

This creates a rare window:
primary asset, aligned price, enormous potential for value creation.

What kind of operation is it?

This is not a simple agricultural acquisition.
It is a multiple strategic operation :

1. Industrial integration

For those who already have cellars:

  • immediate increase in top DOCG areas
  • strengthening of the denomination portfolio
  • possibility of restructuring range and positioning

2. Relaunch of a historic brand

Here is a brand with 60 years of history.
With:

  • new wine project
  • new storytelling
  • new distribution

a medium-high range Chianti Classico brand can be built in just a few years.

3. Wine hospitality platform

It is perhaps the most powerful aspect:

Vineyards, winery, villa, farmhouse, swimming pool, panoramic view, Florence, 18 km away.

This is a natural wine resort already written into the property.

4. Defensive asset diversification

120 hectares in Chianti Classico, Black Rooster rights, historic buildings.

This type of asset:

  • defends the capital
  • grows over time
  • it is always liquidable on the international market

Strategic conclusion

This asset is not bought to “make wine”.
It is bought to govern an iconic territory .

It is a rare platform because it combines:

  • primary denomination
  • historic brand
  • significant land mass
  • top-level real estate system
  • unique location near Florence

An ideal operation for those who want to: enter the heart of Italian wine,
with an asset that holds value, generates image and builds the future.
