Fantini Wines is a modern Italian wine group founded in 1994 in Ortona, Abruzzo, built on an innovative model that prioritises vineyard quality over ownership. Established by Filippo Baccalaro, Valentino Sciotti and Camillo De Iuliis — often referred to as “the three dreamers” — the company set out to create a leading Southern Italian wine brand without owning estates, instead collaborating with local growers across key regions. Fantini has grown into one of Italy’s largest boutique winery groups, operating across multiple regions including Abruzzo, Puglia and Sicily, as well as internationally in Spain. The portfolio reflects a wide range of terroirs and indigenous varieties, with a consistent focus on drinkability and regional expression. Central to Fantini’s success is its close partnership with growers, combined with the expertise of a large, specialised winemaking team. This model allows the group to source exceptional fruit while maintaining strict quality control, resulting in wines that balance accessibility with strong regional identity.
