The
Grandi Marchi, or, to give the organisation its full name, the ‘Institute of
Fine Italian Wines – Premium Brands’, is a group of 19 of Italy’s most famous
family-owned winemakers, the organisation very similar to that of Australia’s
First Families of Wine. Recently, 13 of the biggest names came to
Australia for events in Sydney and Melbourne, including a dinner at Florentino
Upstairs in the latter city which I was privileged to attend. Those who
came were from Antinori, Argiolas, Biondi Santi Tenuta Greppo, Ca’ del Bosco,
Carpenè Malvolti, Donnafugata, Masi, Mastroberardino, Michel Chiarlo, Pio Cesare,
Rivera, Tasca d’Almerita and Umamni Ronchi.
