ABOUT US
CANTINA VENTURINI
60 YEARS DEDICATED TO WINE.
2024 is a special year, for us, gathering all the work done over the years by our family, the changes that history has taken us through, and the strength we carry on our values with.
Our parents Carlo and Irene began this adventure 60 years ago, and we followed the evolutions brought about by time, keeping the desire to offer good wine nowadays and to face the future with our head and heart full of energy.
Energy that is part of our nature, as our dearest customers know well, seeing Mauro always busy with loads and deliveries, travelling all over Italy, and Sandra daily welcoming customers in the Cantina, introducing wines and their characteristics, with a smile that welcomes those who approach the winery out of passion, research or even just curiosity.
Out of the box and out of time, our ancient way of proposing bottled and bulk wine, as in the past, still in demijohns that everyone can then sort as they like, share with family and friends, or keep for themselves.
Habits that come from the past, part of everyday life even after 60 years, and that conquer contemporary tastes and needs.
Time, experience, passion, and our immense gratitude for those who have always supported us. This is us!
2024 to celebrate, follow us to keep up to date with our initiatives!
QUALITY IS A CHOICE, PASSION A TRADITION

OUR WINE
Poggiolieto
The types of grapes from which our Poggio Lieto is made are: Montepulciano Abruzzo, Sangiovese and Tuscan Merlot for red grapes and Trebbiano, Malvasia and Vermentino for white grapes.
We make wine the old-fashioned way, letting the must ferment on the skins just long enough for the wine to acquire both colour and fragrance, and then we put it in steel containers and let it sit for racking and subsequent filtration.
We buy the grapes from small producers and go personally to the vineyard to load them with our vehicles and make the first selection. The grapes are placed in open crates to preserve their integrity and processed within 24 hours of harvesting.
All the processing is done independently, at the Venturini Winery, with the supervision and support of one of our oenologists who carries out all the procedures to control the product both in the vineyard and when it is sold.
The wines undergo all the chemical and organoleptic analyses necessary for successful vinification.
Poggio Lieto is put on the market from 5 December each year in memory of the date of birth of our father Carlo Venturini.
THE
Winery
OUR LAND
We are in an area of Versilia that joins the hills to the sea, a handkerchief of intense green, of lovingly cultivated fields, of small towns.
A peaceful oasis that welcomes those returning from the sea, still smelling of salt and sand, and those coming down from the hills with the scent of the woods.
This sort of middle territory is our home, Capezzano Pianore, the place where we have been working with our cellar and wine shop for 60 years.
A short distance from Camaiore, Pietrasanta, Forte dei Marmi, with their centres full of history, art and glamour, and just a few minutes from small villages with ancient traditions, immersed in nature, such as Casoli, Santa Lucia, Bargecchia, Corsanico, Stazzema, Seravezza and the Apuan district.
A world to be discovered and rediscovered, including a stop with us to discover our wines!
