In our journey to the discovery of new products, today we want to take you into the magical world of Vermouth, an aromatic wine born from the expert hands of Italians and which, for this reason, has always been part of our culture…Just consider that a bottle of Vermouth could never be missing in our grandparents' cupboard!

Maybe you are an expert on Marsala or maybe you have only heard about it but you never had the chance to taste it. For a long time, Marsala has always been associated with only one type of wine, a wine for the end of a meal, whereas there are many types of Marsala, each one with its own perfect pairing.

Who among you, in the last period, has not found himself talking and discussing about gin, craft gin, gin tonic at least once? Probably it has already happened to you, because today, this distillate is becoming more and more established in the market, convincing young people and not only…

Piede Franco (ungrafted) and American brain, what do they mean in the world of wine? You may have heard of wines made from free-range vines, but perhaps you haven't yet asked yourself what this means for the vine or the wine itself. First of all, we know that by "piede" we mean the root of the plant and by "franco" we mean free, unique, coherent, without intertwining, in our case without grafting. And why the brain? Let's find out together

Easter is coming, a holiday in which there are numerous symbols and traditions, varying from region to region. What they all have in common, however, is the organisation of lavish meals where families and friends come together to celebrate.

In this episode we'll talk, obviously, about wine, especially Pecorino and about the fundamental role of Arquata del Tronto, which has not allowed its extinction by acting as a guardian in all these years, camouflaging itself in the mountains and becoming a refuge for the vine.

This article deals specifically with Trebbiano d'Abruzzo, grown in the region of central Italy and, in particular, in the municipality of Loreto Aprutino, which stands as an absolute reference point for the vine. It is therefore an in-depth study of the splendid Abruzzo region, rich in history and contamination, in full expansion in the field of agriculture and above all of high quality wine, which excels in the preservation of food specialities, preserved in the majestic peaks of the Apennines, right up to the Adriatic Coast.

Today we are travelling through the Ligurian slopes, suspended between the sea and the mountains. In this strip of land, or rather of rock, an extraordinary wine is born (the other wines are no joke either!). The Rossese intrigues you just by its colour, by its fineness and once you have reached your taste buds it will have kidnapped you forever, because behind that wine, that cluster, that area, there is still so much to be discovered Curious? Then set off with us towards Dolceacqua!

Le Marche, a place rich in history and diversity. From north to south, in some respects it feels as if we are not only in a different region but also several kilometres away. In the world of wine, the most popular areas are those of Verdicchio, Piceno and Conero. However, the Marche region of wine from north to south also hides more silent, hidden realities that contribute, despite being outside the great classics, to enriching the wine culture of our territory. 

Don't you know how to disentangle yourself from the many variables involved in choosing a Barolo? If you don't already know, in this article you will discover that Barolo has so many different facets and interpretations, even though it is produced and cultivated in such a small area. And just think, here we are only going to talk about one of the 11 production communes!

Barbacarlo | The Croatina that made history "Gianni Brera, a great smoker (and an admirer of Barbacarlo) used to say that a wine is centred when it cleans the smoker's mouth". (Lino Maga)

Bordeaux is the region that, more than any other, has made French wines famous throughout the world. This success is due to the important structure and remarkable longevity of the red wines, but also to the botrytized whites, unique and inimitable elsewhere, the exceptional Sauternes.

When you think of Vermentino, the Mediterranean immediately springs to mind, or perhaps Sardinia directly. However, Vermentino is much more than that and finds its fertile soil from Spain to central Italy, via the French coast and Corsica.

A fresh white wine with a red structure at the same time? A summer white but also an all-season white? A wine for fish but also for meat? A still wine but also a sparkling wine, classic method, pet nat, macerated, passito, reserve and so on and so forth? A wine to drink immediately but also to forget in the cellar for decades? (try and believe) A wine that has great value but can be bought for little more than €10? All promises that only Verdicchio can keep!

2019 was a great year, and the producers made the most of it by producing memorable wines. Wines with a precise and complex, multi-faceted aromatic impact.

Beaujolais is a little piece of France wedged between the north-eastern edge of the Massif Central and the Saone plain. It is the home of extraordinary reds to be forgotten in the cellar, it is a dense concentration of old vines, it is a territory of great charm. Beaujolais is not just Nouveau, far from it!

Endless spaces, red earth, animals of all kinds, fabulous sea, rolling countryside and vines, lots of vines. We arrived in Australia ready to experience the grape harvest in Victoria, New South Wales. Perfect weather at the end of January, it's 26 degrees and warm sunshine.

A defiant region of France in terms of both size and neighbouring Burgundy that has always had the spotlight on it. A tiny wine-growing area that is tough at first glance: the climate is an endurance test, affected by rainfall 220 days a year on average, long, harsh winters and hot summers: this and much more is Jura.

Once the Christmas holidays are over, so are the opportunities for delicacies. But in this climate of restriction, perhaps there remains an unfulfilled craving, a whim, a real sin of gluttony that can somehow make up for the lack of something else that is not allowed at the moment. While waiting for everything to become possible again, let's allow ourselves a small luxury and sink our taste buds into the most delicious treat on the table. Open the package, close your eyes, smell it and enjoy!
