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.
