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.
