In the heart of Provence, a sun-drenched region in southeastern France, some of the world’s most esteemed rosé wines are produced. With its unique terroir and favorable climate, Provence has perfected the art of rosé winemaking, creating wines that embody the very essence of the Mediterranean.Provence’s terroir is a mosaic of limestone, clay, and schist soils, influenced by the proximity to the sea and the constant breezes of the Mistral. These elements combine to create an ideal environment for cultivating grape varieties that yield rosés of extraordinary freshness and complexity. Among the most commonly used grape varieties are Grenache, Cinsault,…
Among the many masterclasses available throughout the year in Italy, I chose the one dedicated to Lambrusco, organized on the occasion of Vinitaly 2024. This wine has always intrigued me for its ability to combine the social aspect of sparkling wine with the versatility of its various versions. The event featured Gabriele Gorelli, Master of Wine, who expertly guided attendees through a fascinating enological journey exploring all the nuances of this versatile and often misunderstood wine. An Ode to Lambrusco Gabriele Gorelli opened the masterclass by dispelling a common myth: “The mistake often made is thinking there is only one…
It all started in 1905, in Castello D’Annone, a town near Asti, where Giuseppe Perlino had the idea to begin trading in the finest Asti wines. Giuseppe’s business was simple, but also modern. Its real capital was the good work ethic and spirit of the Perlino family and their colleagues. By the time the business reached the 1930’s the Perlino family’s passion and tenacity had made it one of the major operators in the sector – a situation that allowed them to move to larger premises in the city of Asti. It was during this period, thanks also to additional…
Abruzzo is a unique region in Italy for its geographical characteristics: it overlooks the Adriatic Sea but at the same time, a few kilometers from the beaches, you can admire the highest mountains of the Apennines: the Gran Sasso d’Italia and the Majella. Abruzzo is also known as the “green region of Europe” for the massive presence of national parks and over thirty protected areas. The Abruzzo area is naturally predisposed to viticulture, thanks also to the climate, rather mild on the Apennine side facing the Adriatic, more continental than that of the internal basins. Overall, therefore, the advantages of…
Oenological Abruzzo is a great reality: this is demonstrated by the qualitative growth supported by the interest of critics and the market and by the successes reported every year in national and international competitions. The enhancement of the territory and its most important indigenous vines, combined with a new generation of winemakers and winemakers, represent today the strengths. Montepulciano, in particular, has been considered for several years one of the great red grape varieties in Italy and represents more than half of the regional ampelographic base, as well as being the reference grape of the Montepulciano d’Abruzzo DOC, which in…
The organic farm Tenuta L’Impostino turns twenty. We are located in Civitella Paganico, in the heart of the Montecucco wine production area, a small jewel of the Tuscan DOCGs that comes to life on the soft hills of the upper Maremma, enclosed between the provinces of Grosseto and Siena. Galeotto was a completely random journey that, towards the end of the nineties, led the owners Patrizia Chiari and Romano Marniga, entrepreneurs originally from Brescia, to visit an old stone farmhouse – today a delightful farmhouse of the Estate – embraced by a hilly phyteatro in the quiet of the Tuscan…

The aperitif is typical of Italian culture: it derives from the Latin “aperire”, meaning to open, because it represents a ritual in which one is in company, picking out some snacks to open the stomach and prepare it for the next meal. This happens by sipping sometimes a glass of wine, sometimes a cocktail. Sometimes, however, these two worlds meet: there are numerous wine-based cocktails that already exist, and they become more and more numerous every year, thanks to mixologists from all over the world who give free rein to their creativity. The most purist of wine lovers turn up…
Now that we have come out of the lockdown, Italian companies are preparing to resume their activities, including exports. China is one of the key destinations for the Italian wine sector, and many major sector events have been confirmed for this summer. But is travel to China possible? Can I move to China for business reasons? Let’s try to do some clarity.
