Ciao, I’ll tell you a secret I love Vermouth; it has become one of my favorite aperitifs when I want something other than wine. The name makes you think of a foreign product, but it is 100% Italian. A bit of history Vermouth is a fortified wine born in Turin in 1786 thanks to Antonio […]
Ciao, I have always been fascinated by the Dolcetto; it intrigues me for its misleading name. History The Dolcetto vine is a variety of black grape vine native to Piedmont which has become a distinctive feature of the Langhe area. The first evidence of Dolcetto dates back to a document dated 1593 from the municipality […]
Ciao, tasting wine is a multi-sensory experience. Smell and taste are the most involved senses but touch also has its importance; think how we touch the glass. Not to mention sight or rather what we see in the glass and why not also hearing, or rather what we perceive when the wine is poured. All these senses can influence tasting. […]

Ciao Last week we talked about the Classic Method, and today it’s the turn of the Charmat Method or Martinotti Method; this method is used to produce Prosecco, another famous sparkling wine worldwide. The production process is very different but simultaneously similar to the Classic Method… no, I’m not going crazy; now I will explain why. […]
22Ciao, Loving sparkling wines very much, I know pretty well the differences between a classic method and a prosecco or a fizzy wine. Talking a bit with friends, acquaintances and clients, however, I realized that the differences could be more evident to everyone, so I decided to share my knowledge with you; this on the […]
