A cooperative that controls 14 separate Italian wine companies, Gruppo Italiano Vini is a big player among the many venerable European wine makers. Its brand names include Folonari, and Melini; it also offers Bigi, Ca'Bianca, Calissano, Conti Serristori, Lamberti, Machiavelli, Santi, and Vino Negri wines. Gruppo Italiano Vini also distributes its wines in the US and France. In 2008 the company acquired the Bola and Fontana Candida wine operations from Brown-Forman.
