Weingüter Wegeler
Since 1882, Wegeler has been synonymous with excellent winegrowing in Germany. Today, the fourth generation runs the family business with a blend of tradition, foresight, and genuine passion—especially for Riesling, complemented by a small proportion of Pinot Noir.
Julius Wegeler began as a wine merchant and sparkling wine producer at Deinhard before becoming a winemaker himself. For him, wine was always a question of quality, maturity, and patience: young wines spent at least two winters on the lees, exceptional vintages even longer. With this foresight and the right instinct for top vineyards, he laid the foundation for a winery with a unique portfolio of Grand and Premier Cru vineyards in the Rheingau and Mosel regions.
Steep slopes with slate and loess soils give the Rieslings minerality, tension, and aging potential. The mild climate and proximity to the river ensure slow, even ripening. This results in Rieslings with elegance, depth, and long-lasting aromatics. The Pinot Noirs—especially those from Assmannshausen—captivate with their silky structure, fine acidity, and characterful fruit.

A particular highlight is Krone Assmannshausen, a partner since 2007 and a full member of Wegeler since 2014. In 1860, the cellar still in use today was dug 60 meters deep into the Frankenthal rock – perfect conditions for the maturation of first-class Pinot Noir. The vineyards around Assmannshausen, on weathered Taunus phyllite slate and deep loess, are representative of the greatness, elegance, and aging potential of Rheingau red wine.
With a focus on Riesling and Pinot Noir, centuries of experience, modern vision, and unique terroir, Wegeler produces wines that meet the highest standards and are internationally acclaimed.
Producer
Fattoria La Gerla / Sergio Rossi
Standing on La Gerla's terrace, one's view sweeps over Montalcino's peaceful landscape with its hills, vineyards, slim cypresses, and estates scattered all around. Nestled in the Colli Senesi to the south of Siena, the area comprises approx. 2000 hectares (up from just sixty hectares 50 years ago!).
Marchesi Alfieri
At the intersection of Roero, Langhe and Monforte, between Asti and Alba, lies the small medieval village of San Martino Alfieri. The magnificent baroque castle of the Marchesi Alfieri and the Azienda building are located on the hill.
Tarlant
The Tarlant family can look back on a long family history, one that can be traced back to 1687. For almost three and a half centuries they have devoted themselves to viticulture in the Marne Valley in the Champagne region. But it was only after World War I that the first hugely successful Champagne Tarlant was created. Today, brothers Jean-Mary and Benoît operate the family-owned company.
