I VINI DEI VINACCIERI
The Story of the Vinaccieri
Vinacciere, is an old Genovese word for a person who selected and collected wines from the countryside of Italy to bring to the Ligurian region towns using a special boat called a “Leudo”. This tradition started in middle ages, because the town of Genoa did not allow other towns to have a harbor to receive food, wine and goods.
The Vinaccieri used to trade wine in a boat called a “Leudo”. This boat brought wines to Cinque Terre villages, Elba island, Corsica, Sardinia and Sicily. The Leudo boat’s special design allows it to carry many goods and go into shallow water or even land on a beach. It was the perfect solution to bring goods to these places. The last Leudo in activity, the “Nuovo aiuto di Dio”, lives in the Sestri Levante harbor.
Listening to old stories, The Ballarini Brothers decided to revive this wonderful marine tradition of the past by bringing wines to many. Their collection of unique Italian wines offer guests some of the most amazing tastes.
The Ballarini Brothers Andrea and Daniele have transformed this special merchant trade of Vinaccieri into an elegant art form of selecting and collecting wines from all over Italy and bringing them to their home of Sestri Levante in Liguria for their clients. In so doing, they have rekindled this amazing tradition of Vinaccieri.
Some examples of their wines are the wines aged in the most ancient European bronze mine in Masso, near Sestri Levante, or the precious handmade beers made from secret recipes with an infusion of spontaneous herbs created by the collaboration with Elisa e Simona and their brewery in Val di Vara.
We bring the best Italian wines to you!
