The vintners Fratelli Martini Secondo Luigi SpA, one
of the most important Italian producers on the international market,
are located at Cossano Belbo, in the heart of the Langhe district, an area of extraordinary beau-ty with a long tradition
of fine wines. The production cycle of the company starts with the
pressing of the grapes - that come from its own vineyards or are purchased
from over a thousand selected growers - and continues through to the
bottling and distribution of the finished product. The storage capacity
of the bulk wine is presently 35,000,000 litres (25,000,000 litres
refrigerated storage). Management and control of the entire produc-tion
cycle are aspects that the company is particularly proud of and that
have enabled it to establish its image as a producer of quality wines
on foreign markets that are traditional-ly extremely demanding and
selective. Investing in quality, in the most advanced oenological
research and in the innovation of equipment and technology is one
of the com-pany's constant commitments and a strategic objective for
its future development.
