and the respect for tradition

ratelli Martini Secondo Luigi spa, known in Italy for the Casa Sant’Orsola winery, and in the world through the Canti brand, is amongst the largest Italian family-run winemakers. Since 1947, the company has demonstrated constant growth, attributed to the twin values on which it was built: innovation without fear coupled with a strong respect and remembrance for tradition. The most modern oenological technology and techniques are adapted to prime materials that are knowledgeably selected from local Piedmontese vineyards or sourced from the best cooperatives from other regions. The final result of this Piedmontese mastery in the art of winemaking is a product that seduces and rewards the senses.
The rigorous selection of the product and the meticulousness in all phases of processing are a precious legacy of artisanal care, which makes use of modern technologically advanced methods to control the quality standard of the product.
High Quality Production
Raw Materials at the centre of everything.
Raw materials are the starting point, and their careful selection is key to producing great quality wines; they are selected with care through two different business models. For Piedmont, where the production plants are located, the supply chain is controlled directly by Martini Secondo Luigi spa’s team of agronomists. Over 1200 families located throughout lower piedmont grow the grapes with love, dedication and the company’s support before handing them to the expert hands of the company’s oenologists after the harvest. The group respects the earth and its laws, but also knows the most refined methods to guarantee the highest quality levels. For wines coming from other Italian regions, the company adopts a different model and works through long-standing relations with cooperative located throughout the country. Thanks to solid agreements it can guarantee the purchase of the best grapes and must from each region, controlling their quality on location directly through the work of its own oenologists.
