• Bartolai Winery "On the corner of Route 92 and Coolidge Ave., Harding, PA Telephone: 866.671.VINO or 570.388.VINO Four Generations of Fine Wines. In the beautiful hills of Northern Italy, just outside of Lucca in the village of Treppignana, the dream, love,and art of wine making began for the Bartolai family. Isodore Bartolai and his family made small batches of wine from carefully selected hand picked grapes from the family vineyard. Fermented and aged in oak barrels in a hillside cave, Bartolai wines were born. "Chief" brought his skills and technique to the Cork Lane section of Pittston Twp., passing on his craft on to our father Albert. Each fall wine was made at the family homestead using a hand made wine press. The wine was stored in a wine cellar dug out of solid rock. Albert then passed on the family traditions to his son Albert Jr., who made wine with our cousins in the same way our grandfather did. My brother Vince and I got involved soon after. A family dinner of "polenta on the board" marks the end of the years wine making season. Today the fourth generation of winemakers are involved in the process of making wine in the same way their fathers, grandfather, and great grandfather did. The tradition continues. Bartolai Family wines have won numerous medals and awards, both locally and nationally. We hope you enjoy our wines and olive oils. We are truly honored to share with you our passion of winemaking."

• Marchesato degli Aleramici "The Sienese district, to which Montalcino belongs is one of the oldest wine-growing areas in the world. The soils are formed of geological strata from the tertiary, eocene and pliocene eras characterised by calcareous and ferrous clay with moderate areas of sand and gravel. Consequently the terrain is in places lean, in other vigorous but brings forth excellent wines and olive soils. By nature these soils, aided by the very sunny and protected microclimate, produce grapes which yield powerful wines but which are nevertheless delicate in flavour, aroma, perfume and appeal. The grape variety is exclusively "Sangiovese" with which BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO and ROSSO DI MONTALCINO, are produced. Very long ago, even before these illustrious wine were produced, the "IL GALAMPIO" farm made a very special red wine from the same vine as the present day Brunello, renowned and appreciated throughout Tuscany and beyond for its full, refined, harmonious flavour and rich, intense perfume. More recently, when MARCHESATO DEGLI ALERAMICI replanted their vineyards, to produce Brunello, they decided to leave a part of the old vineyard in order to keep in production the glorious "GALAMPIO ROSSO". The wine, known by its name since its birth, is still produced in small quantities and matured in oak casks for at least two years."
