MENU: Reborn 2021 - Fly Free 2022 - 7heaven 2023 Hi, my name is Antar Claudio and I am the owner of Buddha Soul Restò, when I was 7 years old I enjoyed cooking the evening menu for my parents, designed for their tiring day at work , so once we were seated at the table I could offer him my simple culinary fantasies. Then I did other things in life and I wasn't satisfied, until after many years of traveling to the East: India, Thailand, Cambodia and Laos I found this small restaurant, I had done some cooking school in India (I fell in love with that continent for several wait ) and above all for Indian cuisine. Thus was born the Buddha Bar restaurant of the Lido offering traditional Indian cuisine together with four friends. Sticking to one type of cuisine and always the same recipes has never given me so much satisfaction, I want to try, discover and grow, dare. In 2021 the Buddha Soul Restò is reborn with a new fusion menu, the "REBORN" which I wanted to call this because for me it was the year of rebirth with BIO products from the island of Vignole, Malamocco and Sant'Erasmo. Biodegradable packaging for take away. Chicken, Beef and Lamb without antibiotics, free-range chickens, beef and lamb raised in the wild as in the past, trying to respect the concept of eco-sustainability as much as possible. In 2022 however the menu was "FLY FREE", as I heard the need after these years, which I don't think we will forget, to try recipes without limits of tradition but combining various possibilities in oriental and traditional fusion style. This year the menu will be "7HEAVEN" which indicates the Buddhist number of completeness, there are seven gifts of the Holy Spirit in Christianity: wisdom, intellect, advice, fortitude, science, piety and fear of God. Well put like that it seems excessive, let's say that I aspire to share with you that culinary and interior completeness of flavours, of experience in my small place where it is a great pleasure for me to welcome you and rock you. “Sammasati” is the most frequent invitation that Gautama the Buddha loved to address to his disciples: “remember that you are awakened!! ”. Buddha Soul Restò in its small way tries to awaken your palate through the thousand aromas of Indian cuisine with its most representative dish "THALI", which echoes all the colors of this magical land, "THIS IS NOT SUSHI" revisiting some rolls with fresh fish products, including local ones, crowned with delicious tartare which give rise to elegant cream puffs only as Japanese cuisine can express and finally the gourmet PAD-THAI, a typical original and complete Thai dish based on rice tagliatelle, vegetables from the vegetable garden, chicken nuggets and prawns. The "Chef" tries to balance spices and chillies in order to meet a cosmopolitan clientele (local and otherwise), without betraying the bold spirit of oriental cuisine with its unique combinations of vegetables, oil seeds, countless masalas, curries and sauces from strong or more delicate flavor As researchers of "taste" we also offer revisited recipes with local organic KM0 products and vegetables from our beloved islands of Sant'Erasmo and Vignole, rather than from the vegetable gardens of Malamocco on the Lido of Venice. For the natural completion of our sharing, we could not neglect recipes to also meet the needs and appreciation of our vegetarian, vegan and celiac customers. The pairing we propose is essentially with craft beers from local and non-local microbreweries or with natural, biodynamic and organic wines.

OUR VALUABLE SALMON "UPSTREAM" BY CLAUDIO CERATI: https://shop.upstreamsalmons.com/it/
IL NOSTRO SALMONE PREGIATO " UPSTREAM " DI CLAUDIO CERATI : https://shop.upstreamsalmons.com/it/
It all starts with the rediscovery of a flavor that he hadn't smelled for a long time, an excellent salmon eaten one evening in a restaurant. It was really difficult to find such good ones; then, instead of looking for it, he started doing it.Controcorrente is a philosophy, a lifestyle, an approach aimed at innovation and the discovery of new experiences to be surprised and with which to amaze. It is an alternative, non-linear path, the only direction to follow to create something different, far from conventional systems and acquired flavors. This is the meaning of the word Upstream, the spirit with which Claudio Cerati realizes his dream of making the best salmon in the world. How? Starting by leaving things in their place, out of the ordinary. Thus the current goes up and, from Parma, reaches the Faroe Islands, where the Relaxing Control System is in force, the result of passion and refinement, instinct and wisdom, without compromise. Between Scotland and Iceland, in the Danish archipelago of the Faroe Islands, salmon live in their native environments, free to move in large spaces following a natural, healthy and controlled diet that gives the meat a remarkable balance of nutrients with low fat. A documented supply chain, studied in every detail. In Denmark the first processing of salmon takes place, it is all in the hands of a few trustworthy people who follow the Upstream method to the letter: the filleting performed in a workmanlike manner; the delicate marinade with salt and sugar, separated and never together, according to Claudio Cerati's recipe; smoking with beech wood from the Parma Apennines, the distinctive touch. The circle closes in Parma, the cradle of the method conceived by Upstream. Here the salmon arrives as it was intended and is subjected to quality controls that certify its organoleptic properties and total healthiness in order to be packaged with the degree of perfection it deserves, the best, ready to go for new directions. It all starts with the rediscovery of a flavor that you haven't smelled for a long time, an excellent salmon eaten ...

The story of the buddha - reading and relaxing culture waiting for food (1)
PRINCE SIDDHARTHA GAUTAMA (BUDDHA) He is considered one of the most important spiritual and religious figures of humanity and is the founder of Buddhism. Siddhārtha was born in Nepal around 565 BC from a rich and noble family (the Śakya). Siddhartha's father, Raja Suddhodana, reigns over one of the many states into which North India is divided. As the raja's eldest son he married at sixteen and began to perform all acts of government as a legitimate successor to the throne. He lives in luxury and splendor in the royal palace, a gilded cage in which he remains until the 22nd year of age. One day, leaving the building, he comes across the harsh reality of life. During his walk he meets an old man, a sick man and a dead man. These sad realities of life impress him deeply. Eager to know the causes of misery in the world, at about 30 he abandons everything and everyone to lead a hermit life in search of a solution to the enigma of life. Thus he begins to concentrate his commitment on meditations. During one of these, at the age of 35, his mind receives the gift of enlightenment and reaches Nirvana. From this moment on, his name is known as Buddha, enlightened man and spiritual master. Contemplation allows Buddha to investigate various aspects of the Dharma (doctrine of nature) and understand the four truths about pain. His teaching does not recognize to the Brahmanic caste the office of religion and the exclusive knowledge of the truth, opening the way of Nirvana to all creatures who aspire to it by practicing the dharma. According to Buddhism, a Buddha is a being who has reached the highest degree of enlightenment (Bodhi) and is therefore ready to leave Samsara and enter Nirvana. The word Buddha itself comes from the Sanskrit bud which means "to become aware", to wake up. Buddha died at the age of eighty, around 486 BC, leaving his own spiritural testament to the disciples. Buddhism continued to spread by oral tradition even after his death. Over time the Buddhist doctrine has found a written transposition in Sanskrit in the books of the tripitaka.

Exhibition inside (1)
Culinary art is just one of the infinite ways of expressing passion, feelings and thoughts. This is why this year we have started a small exhibition space inside the room dedicated to emerging and non-emerging artists.
Peering into the dynamism of the water's surface: chasing the designs and shapes created by the passage of a wave or by the simple flow of the tide, as it rises or falls. Looking for the best position, the optimal shot and then being amazed by what remains imprinted in each single frame. It is mainly a job of stalking, of research and waiting, what is done when you place yourself in the presence of the reflections. It is a sort of "fishing", a "capturing" of something that comes from the water or, better, that flows on a surface that seems to become a canvas to accommodate an abstract painting, made of sky, of light, of shapes that are most often indistinct. But it is also a continuous chasing: the light that fades during sunsets, the wake of a boat that passes slowly at dusk or that speeds quickly in the heart of the night. A constant search for balance between fleeting shapes, sinuous, regular or disjointed movements that draw and paint the water of the lagoon, grazed, touched or struck by the light of the sky, of a street lamp, of a lantern... Venice is also this: what happens on its "streets" does not happen in any other city in the world, or at least not with such intensity, both visually and emotionally. The asphalt does not give reflections, except when it hosts a few puddles. Instead, both the canals and the "Open Lagoon" enclose a world in constant change, they are an art gallery where thousands and thousands of works of art are born, evolve and unravel: not every day, but at every moment. Stopping a few is really a small thing, but it is a clue to what happens in an incalculable reality. In stopping the reflections, in my opinion, you experience the essence of "Photo Graphia", of writing with light. It is a listening to an unexpected story, to sensations that you do not expect: you grasp what is offered, by chance or by the inspiration that moves the hand of an invisible artist. Obviously, it is a question of points of view, of sensations, of ideas. But Art is research, dialogue, comparison and, above all, always a starting point: never of arrival! The movement of reflections on the surface of the water is a source of meditation that speaks to us of a continuous change, of a kinetic force present in every situation, as well as of our being perpetually on a journey. All that remains is to accept the invitation to leave and let ourselves be guided by the light.

VALPOLICELLA MONTENIGO - DOC 12% - VENETO ( ITALIA )
Light ruby red color. On the nose white flowers and small red fruits, morello cherry. Fine and mineral on the palate with aromatic notes of red fruit and spices.
Princic Chardonnay Goriska Brda is a wine obtained from Chardonnay grapes grown in the Collio Goriziano area, particularly in the part belonging to Slovenia. The result of aging in steel and in the bottle, it is a wine capable of fascinating the taster with the intense notes of white-fleshed fruit, flowers and bread crust that it releases in the glass. The sip is of good persistence, more than fresh, with a lively savoury trace. Intense, characteristic, delicate aroma. Full, robust and at the same time velvety flavour. Excellent structure and persistence.
ORANGE 2023 - CIRELLI - 11% - MACERATION BASED ON TREBBIANO - ABRUZZO ( ITALY )
ORANGE 2023 - CIRELLI - 11 % - MACERAZIONE A BASE DI TREBBIANO - ABRUZZO ( ITALY )
Maceration lasts about a month and provides a complex bouquet that ranges from honey, dried fruit, yellow flowers and wild herbs. The mouth remains very dry and fresh. The grapes are destemmed and transferred to a steel tank where maceration takes place, lasting about 30 days. To limit tannin extraction to a minimum and to keep the drink as fresh as possible, no punching down is done, but simple pumping over is done to wet the cap of the skins. The grapes are separated from the must and sent to the press where they are softly pressed. Aging: After the only post-fermentation racking, the wine rests on its fine lees in the tank for about four minutes and is then bottled. It is possible to find sediment on the bottom of the bottle. The wine is not filtered before bottling
Apollo Colline Teramane Montepulciano D'Abruzzo DOCG: the red of Abruzzo, vinified in steel to preserve fruit and freshness; obtained from the oldest vineyards located around the cellar. Maximum expression of the vintage. Hints of red fruits and aromatic herbs.
Wine that tells the story of the variety and authenticity of the Canaja clone of Pinot Nero, native to the area, characterized by having a less compact bunch and a larger grape than the classic biotypes of Pinot Nero. It has a ruby red color with low intensity. The scents that prevail on the nose are those identifying Pinot Nero: small red fruits (currant, raspberry), red flowers (rose, red flowers), spices (black pepper, nutmeg). In the mouth, the freshness and softness of the tannin make it a drinkable wine, delicate and harmonious.
Tasty and ready to drink, characterized by a pleasant aroma reminiscent of Williams pears and a characteristic straw yellow colour. In the mouth it is fruity, elegant and with a pleasant touch of acidity. After delicate pressing of the grapes, fermentation takes place in steel at a controlled temperature. The wine matures in tanks for approximately four months, and is subsequently bottled.

ORIGINI - Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Superiore Biologico - Fattoria Nannì - DOC 2020 - 12,5% - MARCHE ( ITALIA )
Origins is the beginning of a dream made of emotions transformed into work as well as Monte San Vicino grain after grain, has generated the alluvial profile of our land but also the memory aimed at not spending the actions of the past, necessary to branch our knowledge. Origins is Fattoria Nannì, which is why we have given up on uprooting the oldest vineyard which for us represents the ideal means of protecting the territory of Arsicci. Thanks to the complexity of the terroir he has been feeding on and taking part in for 54 years, the year in which Giovanni Piersigilli, his father and now his name, decided to give him life, setting out on a craft that was also possible in the Marche viticulture since 1967. Aware that there can be no future without a memory aimed at beauty. Origini shows a straw-yellow color with golden reflections and green shades that tend to disappear with the passing of the years from the harvest. The aroma is intense and complex with flavors of elderflower, almond and anise, fresh yellow pulp fruit and vegetal sensations of sage and mint. The taste is supported by a savory acidity that facilitates the sip and makes the structure more graceful, which gradually thickens and intensifies over the years, a bit like the aromaticity that over time builds up on notes of fruit in syrup , lemon peel, saffron and chamomile. A transversal wine: casual in summer, capable of accompanying local cuisine from the coast to the hinterland. Also excellent paired with Asian cuisine with spicy and sweet and sour flavors.
Brilliant ruby red with vibrant notes of red currant, blackberry and candied violet. Remarkably juicy on the palate with floral aromas of red berries enhanced by harmonious acidity. A very well balanced and clean wine. Valpolicella is produced from the vinification of fresh grapes, mainly Corvina and Corvinone. The moment of harvest is very important for this wine, given the delicacy of its aromas and its fragile sensorial balance played in an important way by acidity. Our Valpolicella is characterized by excellent drinkability and expresses the characteristic aromas of the valley: from cherry to spicy notes, more or less pronounced depending on the vintage. The best olfactory balance is achieved with a short refinement in steel which emphasizes its sensorial peculiarities.
ROSSO DI MONTEPULCIANO 2021 - IL CONVENTINO -SANGIOVESE , CANAIOLO, MAMMOLO - DOC 14.5% - TUSCANY ( ITALY )
ROSSO DI MONTEPULCIANO 2021 - IL CONVENTINO -SANGIOVESE , CANAIOLO, MAMMOLO - DOC 14,5% - TOSCANA ( ITALIA )
This Rosso di Montepulciano from Il Conventino is able to best enhance the strong union between the Tuscan winemaking tradition and the modern winemaking methods of organic farming. Here the autochthonous grapes demonstrate, once again, that they can give wines of the highest quality that speak of passion, belonging and innovation. Vinified in steel vats, first aged in Slavonian oak barrels and then for 3 months in the bottle, this full-bodied wine surprises with its very pleasant nose and marked freshness: every sip is appreciated. Tasting notes Ruby red colour. On the olfactory analysis the fruity hints of plum and blackberry predominate; then follow aromas of red flowers, a base of undergrowth and spicy notes. Medium-bodied, it is a soft wine with a very pleasant freshness.
Classic Bordeaux blend that represents an exemplary balance between fruit and tannin. Ruby red wine with garnet reflections. The bouquet is complex and colorful, with hints of small red fruits and spices with balsamic perceptions. In the mouth we find a round and soft wine, with delicate tannins and a very long and persistent finish. Grape varieties: Merlot 60%, Cabernet Sauvignon 40%
ONE LITER - Ampeleia - Toscano Rosso IGT - 2020 - 12% - Tuscany ( ITALY ) RED
UN LITRO - Ampeleia - Toscano Rosso IGT - 2020 - 12% - Toscana ( ITALIA ) ROSSO
Placing a one-litre flask on the table is an ancient habit and tradition, a symbol of conviviality. Hence the name "Unlitro" and a bottle whose shapes and sizes recall the joy and light-heartedness of being together. Unlitro was born in the youngest vineyards close to the sea, from a blend of Alicante, Carignano, Mourvèdre, Sangiovese and Alicante Bouschet grapes. It bears witness to our desire to express the territory in a lighter and more immediate way, without losing its character.
VINDAGÒTI - FILIPPI - IGT 12% - GARGANEGA - VENETO ( ITALY ) " TRIPLE " A WHITE
VINDAGÒTI - FILIPPI - IGT 12% - GARGANEGA - VENETO ( ITALIA ) " TRIPLE " A BIANCO
Fruity and pleasant aroma. On the palate, it stands out for its minerality and ease of drinking. We like Vindagoti for its strong territorial expression. It comes from basaltic and calcareous rocks which give it a beautiful minerality. The 400 meters above sea level and the strong temperature variations between day and night, instead characterize it for particular finesse and allow a great concentration of aromas in the grapes. We also like Vindagoti because it comes in a 1 liter format, as if to underline its marvelous convivial vocation, which sees it as the protagonist on the tables of friends and relatives, between a chat and a laugh.
The Alsace blanc "Ramène Tes Copains" by Sylvie Spielmann is a wine resulting from a blend of white grape varieties from Alsace. Vinification in steel with 6 months aging on the fine lees. It is a harmonious, fresh and fruity wine. Pleasant to drink in its one-litre format. Édouard Lepesme, 37, has a respectable resume. An agronomist, he then followed oenological studies, while from the Paris region where he lived he moved to his family's places of origin, in Yonne, the northern sector of Burgundy. It was precisely in Burgundy that he completed his training in the field, alongside established winemakers: Thomas Pico, Olivier De Moor, Claire Naudin, not without completing the process with an experience in New Zealand. In 2014 the big step, with the takeover of the company by Antoine Donat, who takes over. The vineyards of Vaux – just south of Auxerre – had already been certified organic since 2000, and Édouard naturally continues in this direction. Today the 14 hectares of Chardonnay and Pinot noir are cultivated with wisdom and passion, as well as with great ecological rigor, with an eye and mind for biodynamics. Édouard follows the same rigor in the cellar, where the fermentations are spontaneous, the refinements long and precise, the oenological additives limited to small quantities of sulphites. Our winemaker is in no hurry: he aims to expand the cellar, to work with greater comfort and functionality, but without precipitation. From such accuracy are born Burgundy reds and taut, precise whites, of impeccable finesse and definition, as well as Crémant worthy of the Olympus of the best classic methods. .
Appearance: Straw yellow color. Dense foam and fine and persistent perlage. Bouquet: Wide and fruity, reminiscent of yellow apple, peach, wisteria and acacia flowers. It has balance and delicacy combined with aromatic notes of great freshness. Taste: Pleasantly acidulous and savory, fresh and fruity. Of good fullness, roundness and length, it has complete correspondence with the perfume and great harmony. In Colbertaldo you still cross a small wood that finds its first historical evidence about 6 centuries ago, once called Bosco di Gica; this Valdobbiadene Docg Brut Adami expresses in a versatile way the balance between dry taste and gentle gustatory fragrance (10 g / l). The most suitable grapes to give life to the brut type are essentially selected in the 3 municipalities adjacent to the company.
The Emilia Malvasia IGT "Levante 90" by Podere Cipolla comes from the perfect combination of different aromatic varieties grown in one of the owned plots. Naturally refermented in the bottle, without clarification or filtration, it is a wine with a beautiful bouquet, sincere in its narration and with clear territorial adherence. Intense straw yellow. The nose is expressed with hints of yellow fruits, notes of acacia honey and hints of dried flowers. On the palate it reveals excellent freshness, satisfying and of great length. It is also thanks to the work on the tradition of winemakers such as Denny Bini that today it is possible to speak of a real renaissance of Emilian viticulture. Indeed, Podere Cipolla was born in 2003 in Coviolo, not far from Reggio Emilia. It is here that Denny Bini has grown, harvest after harvest, to the point of offering wines of great territorial personality, faithful expressions of the place where they are born. From lambrusco to malbo gentile, the choice was the most natural, that of not clarifying and not filtering the wines, using only indigenous yeasts and very little sulfur dioxide to preserve the characteristics of the grape and the vine as much as possible. Its sparkling wines, tasty as few others, are produced with a refermentation in the bottle, the most classic of the production methods associated with Lambrusco. The so-called sur lie.

OPEN FRANCIACORTA - DOSAGGIO ZERO 12 % - SOLOUVA CHARDONNAY - LOMBARDIA
The "solouva" method is based on a simple concept: grapes are a fruit and as such must be harvested when ripe. For this reason, the harvest takes place when the bunches are phenolicly ripe and not beforehand. The pressing is done softly, with a very low yield, to preserve the acidity of the must and all the richness of a ripe grape as much as possible. In all stages of winemaking (for the second fermentation in the bottle and for any dosage syrup) we only use self-produced sugar in the form of frozen must (suitable for DOCG), to obtain a product that is the natural expression of the fruit and the territory, without having to use exogenous sugars (sucrose or mcr).

The company is located on the hills of Castelvetro di Modena, where Cesare Gianaroli bought a small plot in the mid-1900s. The flagship of the company is certainly the Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro: a variety far from those produced in the plains and which, since 2020, has been recognizable by the collective brand Montebarello 155. The project's objective is to enhance the vine by also providing for a mandatory production in organic regimen. A sustainability that is no longer corporate but collective. Vineyard hectares: 8

BLANC DE BLANCS - CASTEL NOARNA - DOSAGGIO ZERO - TRENTO DOC BIO - 100% CHARDONNAY - 12,5% - TRENTO ( ITALIA )
BLANC DE BLANCS A classic method sparkling wine, refermented in the bottle produced from chardonnay grapes. Our goal has always been to obtain high quality grapes that can best express the characteristics of our territory. In Trentino we find subzones with very different climatic characteristics. The part of the Adige Valley where we are located is called Vallagarina and is characterized by a mild climate, cooled in summer by the wind called Ora del Garda, by an excellent insolation and strong autumn temperature changes that give our wines aromas and freshness. The soils are calcareous, lean, rich in skeleton. The organic component is composed of silt. The character of the limestone stones and sand that make up our soils is complemented by rich mineral components. In fact, in our soils we find basalt, porphyry and slate.This type of soil, together with the exposure to east-southeast and the altitude (350 m asl), determines the character of our wines. Wines that express themselves above all in elegance and fruit. The finish is always savory and with a good acid structure. Wines that express themselves at their best after a few years of aging: this also applies to white wines, which often tasted 10/15 years after the harvest offer pleasant surprises.Since 2007 we have been inspired by the philosophy of natural agriculture for the cultivation of our vineyards . We have therefore banned the use of herbicides, artificial fertilizers, synthetic products for the fight against vine diseases, insecticides. All the work in the vineyard is done with the utmost respect for the plant: we do not use sheeters that slaughter the leaves but we leaf as little as possible by hand; we work the soil in autumn and spring with ancient methods such as the hoe or with tools that respect the soil to revitalize it. The goal is to find a new balance in the vineyard, based on a greater awareness of the characteristics of its territory. These are simple practices, the rediscovery of traditional methods of working the countryside that had been lost. A return to the earth with another sensitivity. We are an organic certified company with ICEA since 2007. In our vineyards we currently produce the following grape varieties: Nosiola, Chardonnay, Sauvignon blanc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Lagrein, Teroldego.

FRANCIACORTA SATEN - ARCARI E DANESI - Chardonnay 65% e Pinot Bianco 35% - 12% DOCG - 2016 - LOMBARDIA ( ITALIA )
Satèn is produced with grapes coming exclusively from the terraced vineyards of Montorfano, adjacent to the winery and for this reason we like to call it a cru. Minerality and flavor, hints of ripe fruit, freshness and richness of taste make it one of our most particular wines and exemplifying the production method without exogenous sugars. It is produced only in particular vintages and in a few thousand bottles. It is the first type of Franciacorta with which the company began experimenting with the "solo grape method". CURIOSITY: Arcari + Danesi has been producing Franciacorta with the solo grape method since 2008 (without exogenous sugars). The method is based on a simple concept: grapes are a fruit and as such must be harvested at the time of its ripening. The harvest takes place when the grapes are phenolically ripe therefore, compared to a classic method where the harvest is forced by man at technological maturity (i.e. the grapes are harvested according to the level of acidity and sugar content) that of the solo grape method is postponed. After the harvest, the pressing takes place in a soft way, to preserve the acidity of the must to the maximum. In all stages of vinification - in the primary and secondary fermentation and in the addition of any dosage syrup - self-produced sugar (in the form of frozen must) is used with the aim of obtaining a product that is the natural expression of the fruit, without having to use exogenous sugars (sucrose or mcr).
A gourmet wine with floral and structured aromas, notes of chalk and minerals. This invigorating crémant happily accompanies veal, oysters or can simply be drunk as an aperitif with friends. Blend: 50% Auxerrois, 30% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay

ANNIK 2022 - COSIMO MARIA MASINI - TUSCANY WHITE SAUVIGNON AND VERMENTINO - IGT 13% - ( TOSCANA ) ITALY
ANNICK 2022 - COSIMO MARIA MASINI - TOSCANA BIANCO SAUVIGNON E VERMENTINO - IGT 13% - ( TOSCANA ) ITALY
Straw yellow in color with green reflections, Annick invites the nose with the freshness and elegance of Sauvignon Blanc. On the palate the citric and fresh fruit notes are enriched with sapidity and structure, with nuances of Moscato thanks to the short maceration on the skins of Vermentino. This dance of freshness and fruit, which leads us to a clean and savory finish, is a stimulus for the senses. The grapes that make up our Annick come from three different vineyards. In particular, our Sauvignon Blanc is the result of a mass selection of a more than 50-year-old vineyard in Marzana -San Miniato- which, due to its qualities, inspired us, since the birth of Cosimo Maria Masini in the early 2000s, to produce a Tuscan white but from French or, so to speak, international grapes. In fact, the current parcel of Sauvignon Blanc, now 20 years old, is located in the lower part of the Estate, still facing south-west, but where the microclimate is more suitable for maintaining the freshness of the fruit and high levels of acidity even in hot years . Subsequently, starting from 2016 thanks to new plants and overgrafts, the Vermentino variety joined the Sauvignon, with the aim both of supporting and increasing the native vines and both for the excellent combination that results from the assembly of these two grapes. Vermentino is currently present in a young vineyard and in a 20-year-old vineyard thanks to a supergraft. Both parcels are to the south-west where the light, the heat, the "gaze" towards the sea and the winds of the coast allow the true Mediterranean essence of Vermentino to be expressed.
Tasting notes Straw yellow colour. The nose is dominated by notes of ripe fruit embellished with tropical tones. On the palate it is fresh, lean and balanced. Persistence is good. A vine native to the Pescara hills and the valleys that are divided between the Marches and Abruzzo, pecorino leads to particularly fresh wines, characterized by excellent minerality and a marked acid shoulder, in particular when vinified and left to age alone steel. Wines, as in the case of the excellent Abruzzo Pecorino DOC "Machaon" from the Ausonia winery, perfect for the summer season, but also excellent at any other time.
The grapes are destemmed and transferred to a steel tank where maceration takes place for about 30 days. To limit tannin extraction to a minimum and to keep the drink as fresh as possible, no punching down is done, but simple pumping over is done to wet the cap of the skins. The grapes are separated from the must and sent to the press where they are softly pressed.
Calaverna is a Grechetto in company. A wine eager to enhance the most widespread and enigmatic Umbrian white grape variety, shaping it in an unusual environment. Stretches and tears, short circuits and linear visions in a game of dichotomies that dig into the pulp. LAND: mainly sandy, alluvial, rich in skeleton and potassium. It exceeds 300 meters in altitude. GRAPES: predominantly Grechetto. VINIFICATION/AGEING: fermentation in steel tanks for 15-20 days; frequent stirring on its fine lees follows. Malolactic fermentation not carried out or partially carried out, depending on the vintage. Maturation in steel and in the bottleThis part of Umbria, as fascinating as it is uncontaminated, enjoys a particular microclimate: the extremely breezy hills chase away the fog, while the winters are decidedly cold and the springs mild. In summer, light and sun irradiate the vineyards without excess, so that the grapes can ripen gradually, without stress, closing the circle of a climate with continental traits. It is easy to imagine, in summer and during the harvest, notable temperature variations, ideal for fragrant grapes and wines, of great freshness and enjoyment. The rest is done by the soils: alluvial, medium texture, rich in skeleton and pebbles, moderately calcareous and with a low percentage of clay. Overall conditions that guarantee late ripening of the grapes, capable of enhancing aromas and acidity even in the hottest years. The body of the vineyards is divided into various parcels, essentially classified into three groups, based on age and position. The oldest vineyards date back to 1998 and are in full production. The altitudes range from 250 to 400 meters. The highest and most ventilated hilltops are dedicated to Pinot Noir. Other reference varieties are linked to the oldest tradition, as in the case of Sangiovese, Malvasia Nera, Ciliegiolo and Montepulciano, or to the more recent one, starting with Syrah (Cortona is a stone's throw away). Among the whites, Grechetto, Malvasia Bianca and Friuliano stand out, a reminder of how the area was frequented, in the post-war period, by various factors arriving from the north. The grapes, grown with the utmost care, generally harvested from mid-September to mid-October, are selected parcel by parcel and immediately taken to the cellar. The fermentations are absolutely natural, with only indigenous yeasts, carried out in various steel vats and in the 40 hl truncated cone-shaped oak ones. In these latter containers (a good 10 in all) the malolactic fermentation and the refinement also take place. In the cellar everything happens in a simple, rigorous way but without shortcuts or artifices. The maturation of wines follows the same rules: whether it takes place in steel, cement or wood, it must accompany the fruit and the character of the terroir without overpowering it.

The idea of making a light Teroldego wine, celebrating the summer months, has intrigued us for years. Only the hail of August 2017, which destroyed the 40 l harvest, gave us the opportunity to throw ourselves without hesitation. From the small quantities of the damaged vines we generated a mosaic of dozens of vinification trials with short maceration which constitutes Lezèr; various attempts in amphora, wood, cement and steel, in separate lots and never with more than 24 hours of permanence on the skins. This wine was born with the spirit of experimentation and continues on this path. Following the developments of the vintage every year we play with the addition of whole bunches, we change the containers as well as the techniques and timing of the short macerations.
In Sauvignon Piazzole Trentino doc Bio, as in all Zeni wines, one perceives the love for tradition and openness to innovation, and a constant search for uncompromising quality, which inspires every activity between the rows and in the cellar. The singular aromas of fig and tomato leaf derive from the almost immature grapes rich in acidity harvested at the end of August, while the particular nettle flavor is due to the part of overripe grapes harvested in mid-October. The wine ages for a short time in small wooden barrels before being bottled.

The rich Mediterranean notes with citrus accents and floral returns create a valuable and typical symphony of aromas. The simple structure, the delicious sapidity, the vibrant freshness accompany the sip up to a long and persistent finishThe Aorivola I Cacciagalli is undoubtedly one of the best Italian Falanghine, an integral and credible interpretation of the well-known vine.When we speak of Falanghina we sadly think of the approved proposals for aperitif bars, in which there is no shortage never the well-known wine from Campania but is often discredited by insignificant and cheap samples.This is certainly not the case with the one vinified by Diana and Marco, founders of the I Cacciagalli winery and custodians of a splendid terroir like that of Sannio Beneventano, where in addition to the already mentioned white grape variety find space Aglianico, Pallagrello Nero, Piedirosso and Fiano, grown without any chemical or synthetic substance can deprive them of their energy. The intent is precisely to restore the territory, and Marco and Diana's bottles often speak to us in a direct but austere way, with the need to be approached with a little patience. The (minimum) wait generously rewards, revealing deep and vital liquids, which can also be purchased at a very advantageous price. Absolute certainty. The Aorivola is produced with 100% Falanghina grapes, grown on volcanic soils in the Sannio Beneventano area with extremely low yields.

Aging in steel containers and bottling without the liquid undergoing clarification or filtration. The Aorivola wine warms the glass with its bright golden yellow hues. Nose of great intensity and richness where hints of ripe peach, citrus peel and white flowers peep out, all declined gracefully.

Nosiola " Salvetta " Vigneti delle Dolomiti - IGT 2017 e 2018 - 11,5 % - Trentino Alto Adige
Nosiola, an ancient and unique Trentino white grape variety, characterized by a late ripening (like the red fruit varieties), has always found in the Sarca valley the characteristics that favor and enhance its distinctive features: dry and calcareous soils and a particular microclimate generated by the winds that blow in the area. Here the vineyard - guyot trained with chestnut poles - produces its sweet golden bunches. Following an original tradition, the vinification takes place by leaving the wine must for a week in contact with the skins. The Nosiola then rests patiently in seasoned acacia barrels until the end of its fermentation, remaining on the lees until May-June of the following year and concluding its refinement in an ancient Rhine bottle for at least a year and a half. Time and the return to traditional and natural methods of vinification and aging allow Nosiola to express its distinctive notes to the maximum, extracting the main aromas of the grape and developing secondary ones in barrels and bottles. The result is a structured wine, capable of giving its best at a temperature of at least 15 degrees.

Since 2007 Castel Noarna has been inspired by the philosophy of natural agriculture for the cultivation of vineyards. The use of artificial fertilizers, herbicides, synthetic products and insecticides has been banned. All work in the vineyard is done with the utmost respect for the plant.

Malvasia Istriana White Label is a lively macerated white wine made by Uroš Klabjan, a natural Slovenian winemaker who cultivates by adopting organic and biodynamic agriculture practices. The only 11 hectares of vineyards benefit from a peculiar microclimate, characterized by the saline winds of the nearby Adriatic Sea and by the considerable temperature variations between day and night. The vines planted here, rigorously indigenous, are worked according to traditional practices which have foreseen the contact of the white must with the skins since ancient times. The White Label is a direct and immediate Malvasia, which comes from younger vines and seeks a fresher and less opulent style. Klabjan Malvasia White Label is produced from Istrian Malvasia alone. The vines are between 25 and 35 years old and are raised on clay soils in the Osp Valley. Once harvested by hand, the bunches are transferred to the cellar where alcoholic fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts and contact for 2-3 days between the must and the skins, with frequent bâtonnage. Subsequently, the spontaneous malolactic fermentation is not blocked and the refinement takes place in steel vats for a year, followed by a long rest in the bottle without prior filtration.

ETNA BIANCO - TENUTA DELLE TERRE NERE - DOC 2022 - 12,5 % - SICILIA ( ITALIA )
“The first time I produced this wine was in 2005. Basically I wanted to remove the white grapes which, in the old vineyards, it was customary to plant in small quantities mixed with the red ones, to make my Etna Rosso from Nerello alone. The white grapes were a mix of native vines: Carricante, Catarratto, Inzolia, Grecanico and Minnella. And from the assembly of these grapes, with a prevalence of Carricante, my Etna Bianco was born” Marco de Grazia And it is still like this. Everything from old vineyards. And somehow it works.

Solaris belongs to the category of PIWI varieties, an acronym for the German word “pilzwiderstandfähig” which means “mushroom resistant”. In fact, these are genetic hybrids created precisely for the purpose of creating vines with greater resistance to cryptogams. These hybridization attempts, which began a long time ago, have only recently given rise to truly satisfactory results, managing to combine a lower sensitivity towards diseases with oenological aptitudes at the level of those of traditional European vine varieties. Thomas Niedermayr Solaris derives only from grapes of the PIWI variety of the same name, grown between 500 and 700 meters above sea level on deep clay-limestone soils, rich in white dolomite rock. The bunches first undergo a short pre-fermentation maceration and are then softly pressed whole.

Finally, the liquid is placed in the bottle without undergoing filtration. Solaris by Thomas Niedermayr has a straw yellow hue with luminous reflections.

Since the 1970s, the Klanjscek family has been large and branched and, collecting the concrete and moral legacy of grandfather Mirko and grandmother Hedvika, has contributed to transforming what once represented the most classic of peasant family economies into a contemporary agritourism concept, where at the center the Klanjscek soul remains pulsating, always and in any case. "Our labels bear the family name and the memory of grandfather Mirko with this incisive, heavy brushstroke, which however is sweet at the same time and almost caresses his face with the hat on his head". In 3 and a half hectares of vineyards on the hills, in the heart of the Collio Goriziano, with organic cultivation since 2016, but always natural, the Klanjscek winery currently produces around 15,000 bottles of 'natural' wine, of great balance and authenticity, thanks to just 5 days of maceration on the skins which allows them to dose the sulfur to a minimum.

Fermentation takes place in the presence of the skins in open 22 hectoliter vats without temperature control and without selected yeasts, enzymes and clarifications.

The nose is intense and very elegant with a bouquet of aromas ranging from fruity to floral, with aromas of acacia flowers and jasmine and hints of white pulp fruit. Complex on the palate, it is a harmonious and very well balanced wine, fresh and lively, with a very long finish.
ZIBIBBO MACERATO " ORANGE " - SAN GIORGIO ABBEY 2021 - SICILIAN LAND IGT - 12% - SICILY ( ITALY )
ZIBIBBO MACERATO " ORANGE " - ABBAZIA SAN GIORGIO 2021 - TERRE SICILIANE IGT - 12% - SICILIA ( ITALY )
"Orange" by Abbazia San Giorgio is a white wine macerated for 15 days on the skins, coming from ancient Zibibbo saplings grown on the black earth of Pantelleria with ancient ancestral methods. It has a peaty orange color and smells of Pantelleria: sweet hints of apricot, citrus peel, dried fruit and honey intertwine with salty and mineral tones. The sunny and Mediterranean freshness, the refined sapidity and the caressing tannin underline the sip with rhythm and vitality. "Orange" of Abbazia San Giorgio is such in name and in fact. Its uniqueness lies in its origin, i.e. vineyards located in Pantelleria, an island halfway between Italy and Africa, so fascinating with its soils of volcanic origin and the tree-training of the vines, which have become the heritage of Unesco since 2014. The Abbazia San Giorgio winery is a small reality that rises in Khamma, in the northwest area of the island, created by Battista and Beppe, who had the desire to enhance above all Zibibbo through a completely organic management with biodynamic principles. Precision, simplicity and transparency are values that are immediately transmitted even through the bottle, which has a minimalist and elegant label. Abbazia San Giorgio "Orange" comes from Zibibbo grapes, a native Sicilian vine, famous above all for its passito. The vines are scattered over the 3 hectares of vineyards in tiny parcels at 300 meters above sea level, on soils rich in organic substances because they are volcanic. The manual harvest begins in September and the bunches are destemmed and pressed to be ready for spontaneous fermentation. The maceration in contact with the skins lasts 15/20 days, during which no sulfur is added. The aging is partly in steel silos and partly in chestnut barrels for 6 months. During the bottling phase, neither filtration nor clarification takes place. The dry Zibibbo "Orange" Abbazia San Giorgio smiles from the bottle with its magical orange color with slightly veiled amber reflections. It is an important presence, which becomes material in the glass, also through the scents that manifest themselves in all their power and radiance: the land from which they come releases odors with a Mediterranean note and apricots, alongside orange peels and memories of honey and nuts. The sea on which the vines overlook offers iodized scents with touches of minerality from the volcanic soils. In the mouth it is fresh and savory, with a tension of the tannins that make "Orange" a lively and lively wine, with a long and exciting finish. Rich Mediterranean notes of apricot, orange peel, iodized stamps, mineral-volcanic sensations and light aromas of walnut and honey
50% Istrian Malvasia, 25% Chardonnay, 25% Pinot Grigio. Total 6 years in oak barrels; the first 9 months on the lees in oak barrels.

FÙNAMBOL 2021 - PODERE SOTTO IL NOCE - TREBBIANO DI SPAGNA - 13% - ( EMILIA ROMAGNA ) ITALY
"Funambol" is a pleasantly aromatic and fresh white wine, made in the Modena area from a rare and unknown grape, Trebbiano di Spagna. It gives a pleasant and clear bouquet, with notes of orange peel, dried fruit, spices and yellow pulp fruit. A darting freshness balances a soft and enveloping texture. The "Funambol" is the still white wine of Max Brondolo, winemaker from Castelvetro di Modena and owner of the wonderful Podere Sottoilnoce. The name of this reality, purchased in 2017 by Max, derives from the walnut tree that towers over the hills and lives miraculously (since it is said that nothing grows under the walnut tree) with ancient vineyards. A true prodigy of nature that led Max, a former manager in Milan, to change his life and devote himself exclusively to country life. This white is made from 100% Trebbiano di Spagna grapes, a rare and ancient grape that gives a decidedly aromatic sip, based on an unsuspected balance between power-delicacy, made even clearer by the joyful image on the label which represents birds (delicacy ) that crush the rock (power). The "Funambol" was born in a hilly area and is one of the last born in the house. The vineyard from which it originates is exposed to the north-west at about 300 meters above sea level on loamy soils, with a good part of limestone. The grapes are de-stemmed and do not remain in contact with the skins. The must is spontaneously fermented in 400-litre ceramic containers, also known as clayver or stoneware barriques. It then refines in the same containers for a few months, before being bottled on a waxing moon. Filtrations, clarifications, invasive processes and additions of other substances are not part of Max's philosophy. The "Funambol" wine descends into the glass with its flamboyant pale yellow, wheat-colored dress. The nose has a good aromatic imprint, spreading notes of almond, sweet spices, citrus peel, bucolic and countryside sensations. The palate is guided by a vibrant, pulpy and dry freshness, which balances the aromatic, elegant and caloric embrace.

PIERRE PRÉCIEUSE - DOMAINE ALEXANDRE BAIN - 2019 - 13,5% - SAUVIGNON - LOIRE VALLEY ( FRANCE )
PIERRE PRÉCIEUSE - DOMAINE ALEXANDRE BAIN - 2019 - 13,5% - SAUVIGNON - VALLE DELLA LOIRA ( FRANCIA )
The "Pierre Précieuse" by Alexandre Bain is a Sauvignon-based white wine from the Loire Valley, from the Pouilly-sur-Loire wine-growing area obtained from vines placed on Portland soils rich in pebbles and limestone. To be poured into the decanter well in advance before serving to eliminate any carbon retained inside the bottle (sign of vinification without adding chemicals), it expresses richness and fullness of sip, characterized by salinity and an enveloping herbaceous persistence. Alexandre Bain's Pierre Precieuse beautifully expresses the potential that the Pouilly-sur-Loire wine area conceals among its rows, often suited to vertical and mineral clarity, stylistic rigor and aromatic delicacy. But in this prestigious and artisanal Loire label – which is to all intents and purposes considered a Pouilly Fumè outside the appellation – Alexandre has decided to enclose everything that Sauvignon Blanc, or rather the main vine of these hills, manages to express in terms of intensity, aroma and olfactory envelopment, thus giving us a Sauvignon de Pouilly openly outside the box, which prefers territorial and varietal expression to stylistic one. Thus the Domaine Alexandre Bain vinifies its Pierre Precieuse 15, starting from the founding element of each terroir, the soil: in the Sancerre and Pouilly area - as well as the entire Loire - this is particularly fragmentary and variegated, full of different nuances that perceived at the end of production inside each glass. The Pierre Precieuse specifically comes from vines placed on soils of Portlandian origin, rich in calcareous pebbles called "caillottes" in jargon and integrated by a superficial layer of clay, silt and sand in the municipality of Tracy-sur-Loire. It ages for 14 months in steel drums and does not see the use of any chemical substance during its production. The Pierre Precieuse of the Domaine Alexandre Bain is dressed in an intense and luminous golden yellow, evidence of a slightly late harvest, and releases a slight carbonic effervescence when poured to be attributed to its being an authentic vin vivant, to be left to disperse until exhausted through the use of a decanter. After adequate decanting, instead of the fine froth, aromas of fresh field flowers, fresh and candied orange peel, herbaceous notes and yellow-fleshed fruit will begin to emerge, painted on a background of honey and cane sugar. On the palate it is very fresh and mineral, rich and sapid, invigorating and aromatic, sometimes unpredictable and always with a great sensory impact.
Riffault's Auksinis is a full-bodied, rich and very intense Sancerre obtained from Sauvignon grapes harvested late and subjected to maceration on the skins in old oak barrels, where the wine continues to mature for 18 months. It has a strong, complex, powerful and seductive personality, with bright minerality and long persistence. Spontaneous fermentation with 50 lle botrytized grapes and maceration on the skins for 7 days in stainless steel tanks, followed by malolactic fermentation. Aging for 36 months on the fine lees in old barriques.
Friulano di Ronco Severo is a macerated white wine, made with grapes of the same name. A complex, articulated bouquet, which focuses on balsamic, herbaceous and woody notes. The sip is full, enveloping, harmonious and elegant. AssolutoIl Friulano by Ronco Severo is an orange wine produced by Stefano Novello from white grapes of the same name. Ronco Severo is a winery located in Prepotto, in the province of Udine, in Friuli-Venezia Giulia. Stefano Novello is the owner of the family company, which he decided to take over and run according to a conservative and sustainable production philosophy. Here he manages approximately ten hectares of vineyards, in the Colli Orientali del Friuli area, working in full respect of nature and the territory. In fact, its vineyards are treated only with organic compounds: no herbicides, pesticides or chemical herbicides are used. Each practice is carried out manually, in such a way as to preserve as much as possible the primary characteristics of the grapes and the territory in which they are grown. The Friuliano is harvested late, so as to harvest it at complete phenolic maturation. Once in the cellar, the grapes are destemmed and placed inside oak vats in which it ferments spontaneously, without the addition of selected yeasts, and macerates for a long time on the skins. This phase allows for greater extraction of polyphenolic substances, including tannins. Subsequently, the wine matures in Slavonian oak barrels for two years, in contact with its fine lees. The bottling, carried out during the waning phase of the moon, takes place without filtration, clarification or stabilization of any kind. In the glass the wine is golden yellow in color, with coppery reflections. The nose is rich in herbaceous, balsamic, woody scents, accompanied by hints of dehydrated fruit. In the mouth the wine is rich, with great structure. The balance between the mineral component and the rich concentration of the fruit is perfect. The finish recalls the balsamic notes of the nose with a long persistence and light tannins. A complex wine to pair with structured first and second courses, or ideal to accompany long-matured cheeses.

PINOT GRIS - ALBERT BOXLER - AAC 2020 - 13,5 % - FRANCIA
A great Alsatian white with long aging potential. The sweet notes balance the marked mineral flavor, for a final result with a rare fruit-tension-consistency balance. Chapeau! Albert Boxler's is certainly one of the most important and representative domaines in all of Alsace. The estate has its origins at the end of the 17th century, when Jean Boxler, originally from Switzerland, settled in the Upper Rhine municipality of Niedermorschwihr. Jean Boxler's wine production began in 1673: from this date the wine was handed down from generation to generation within the family. In 1946 Albert Boxler and his wife Élise took over the management of the family farm, which they renovated in depth, purchasing land, mainly on the Sommerberg hill, and starting the bottling of wine on the property. The winemaker also bequeaths his name to the estate, thus leaving an indelible mark of his time at the helm of the estate founded by his ancestors. Domaine Albert Boxler is today in the hands of Jean-Marc Boxler, Albert's son. Taking advantage of the work previously carried out by his father, Jean-Marc Boxler further elevates the quality of the wine of Domaine Albert Boxler, and gives it a growing resonance, confirming with the latest vintages his reputation as a very demanding producer. The Boxler estate has almost 14 hectares of vineyards, almost entirely cultivated with white grape varieties: Gewurztraminer, Riesling and Pinot Grigio, often on very steep slopes, many of which are classified as Grand Cru. The processing methods are traditional, exactly like they used to be.

Skerk's Malvasia Istriana is a great pure and typical interpretation of the Karst area, aged for 12 months in oak barrels. The persuasive olfactory picture is painted by touches of resin, honey, apricot jam and caramel brushstrokes. On the palate it unfolds with elegance and balsamic freshness in a juicy, full and delicately mineral taste. Andy Skerk produces his Malvasia in the Trieste Karst, a stony and windswept land, which gives the wines a strong personality. The variety grown in the Carso is Malvasia Istriana, less aromatic than the better known Malvasia di Candia. In this particular terroir, characterized by calcareous soils, by hot and windy summers, but tempered by sea breezes, the vine has found an ideal habitat to express itself at its best. In the Carso it gives strongly territorial expressions, with a unique and original character. Skerk's work is oriented towards maximum respect for the natural balance of the vine and the raw material, always skipping the characteristics of the grape and the terroir. Malvasia is born in the vineyards cultivated on the stony soils of the Carso plateau, characterized by little red earth and limestone rocks. The rows are beaten by the Bora, the cold north-east wind, which helps to keep the grapes dry and healthy, allowing for agronomic management without the use of chemical principles, according to the dictates of organic and biodynamic agriculture. The plants produce naturally with low yields and after the harvest, the grapes are taken to the cellar dug entirely out of the limestone rock. Fermentation takes place in open wooden vats, with the use of indigenous yeasts only, and maceration on the skins for about ten days. After racking, Skerk's Malvasia ages on the fine lees, always in wooden vats, for at least a year before being bottled. The end result is a Malvasia with rich and intense varietal aromas, daughter of the heat of the Mediterranean, the salty wind and the white limestone. A perfect synthesis between terroir and the skilful work of man, still conducted with artisanal care. The color is light yellow with golden reflections, typical of Orange Wine. The aromas are decisive and elegant, with fruity notes, hints of citrus, balsamic hints and medicinal herbs of the Mediterranean scrub. The sip is satisfying for its aromatic intensity, with a pleasant freshness and iodized sapidity. At the table, find the best pairings with fish menus or delicate white meats.
Sancerre “Akmeniné” is an intense and full-bodied white wine from the Loire, with great character and strong personality, obtained from Sauvignon grapes and aged in old barriques for 12 months. It is rich, complex and intense, with aromas of flowers and yellow fruit combined with more evolved, mineral and toasted nuances. The sip is complex, savory, warm and persistent. Sebastien Riffault's Sancerre “Akmeniné” meets the definition of an auteur white, being undoubtedly among the most complex and personal liquids produced in France. Sebastien Riffault is a true beacon in the world of artisanal wine and who, despite his growing notoriety, has never deviated from his path towards ephemeral and fleeting fashions. Owner of just 3 hectares in Sancerre, where Sauvignon reaches its expressive peak, Sebastien has decided to interpret the territory without any filter or constraint, obtaining liquids that are typical but at the same time endowed with originality and nuances uncommon to the area. We feel like defining each bottle as an experience with a high emotional charge, a necessary step to define new parameters of comparison. “Akmeninè” is obtained from pure Sauvignon grapes, harvested late and coming from vineyards that rest on siliceous soils. No chemical or synthetic substances are used in the vineyard, following the dictates of organic farming and always harvesting the grapes manually and at late ripening. In the cellar we continue with spontaneous alcoholic fermentation in barriques and refinement for a year in the same containers, where the liquid rests on its yeasts. The wine does not undergo clarification or filtration before bottling. “Akmeninè” Sancerre appears in the glass with a bright and intense yellow appearance. Strong and original olfactory impact, where a richness of toasted and creamy notes intersects with flint, green apple and lime zest. The sip reconfirms the aggressive personality of the liquid, which while claiming its territorial origin, does so without constraints or forcing. Sumptuous, multifaceted and very long: out of the mix.

Skerk's Vitovska is an expressive, rich and very territorial white wine, vinified with long maceration on the skins and aged for a year in large barrels. Fascinating vegetal, flower and green tea aromas enliven an intense, savory and persistent sip. Skerk's Vitovska is an amazing border white, testimony to one of the best hands in the world of artisanal wine. When we talk about Sandi Skerk and her wines, in our opinion we are talking about one of the most sensitive producers of the Karst, capable like few others of combining the vigorous contribution of the skins during the winemaking phase with a style that is always elegant and enjoyable. The scenario is that of the strip of land that separates Italy and Slovenia, and the practices in the vineyard are aimed at total respect for the integrity of the plant and fruit, therefore the use of any chemical or synthetic substance is banned. Obviously, the extraordinary local native vines such as Vitovska and Malvasia dominate, alongside vines that have now become local heritage such as Sauvignon and Pinot Grigio. Truly amazing bottles, which have the power to unite anyone who approaches them. Skerk's Vitoska is produced with pure grapes from the vine of the same name, grown in Ograde, the watershed between Italy and Slovenia. In the vineyard the dictates of organic farming are followed, therefore chemical substances are banned with the help of only a little copper and sulphur. In the cellar we proceed with the same mentality, therefore we proceed with spontaneous alcoholic fermentation in wooden barrels and maceration for a few days on the skins. No fining or filtration before bottling. Skerk's Vitovska wine appears in the glass with a bewitching amber appearance. The nose is extraordinary for how it combines spontaneity and definition, and displays notes of peach, wild herbs, honey and eucalyptus. When tasted, the liquid is striking for its persuasive and creamy tactility as well as for its saline charge which considerably extends its persistence. An experiential bottle.

Damijan Podversic's Ribolla Gialla is unanimously one of the greatest Italian white wines, an authoritative witness of an extraordinary area and a philosophy of thought. Damjian Podversic is one of the best interpreters of wine in Italy, an indisputable talent who, despite his younger age than many of his colleagues in the area, was able to establish himself immediately thanks to interpretations of adamantine purity. Only one great master, the legend Josko Gravner, who knew how to shape Damjian's mindset without however bridling it, so much so that the liquids of the two winemakers have distinct and recognizable styles. Maceration on the skins, never invasive, and full maturity of the grapes, are some of the cornerstones on which Podversic's viticulture is based, and its Ribolla in particular is a hymn to the area, hard to forget. The Ribolla Gialla wine is obtained from 100% grapes of the vine of the same name, from vineyards located on Monte Calvario which rest on Ponka soils (Opoka Marna/Arenaria) at an altitude of 140-180 meters with southern exposure. In the vineyard we do not resort to the use of any chemical substance and we only use a little copper and sulfur, while in the cellar we proceed with spontaneous fermentation in oak vats and maceration on the skins for about 60-90 days. The liquid ages for 36 months in 20 and 30 hectoliter barrels, and subsequently for 12 months in the bottle. Podversic's Ribolla Gialla is presented in the glass with a bewitching luminous amber robe. Very broad nose, of unsettling complexity and declined on hints of ripe peach, hazelnut, aromatic herbs and citrus peel, which moves iridescent and dynamic. When tasted, the liquid reveals its powerful displacement, and invades the palate, taking possession of it. Immense wine, with a persistence that cannot be quantified in seconds. A cyclone.
Trebbiano is an ancient and indigenous variety of the Teramo hills. It gives an elegant and authoritative wine, long-lived and able to evolve over time. Emidio Pepe's Trebbiano d'Abruzzo is a white of notable expressiveness and charisma. On the nose there are floral, slightly almond and delicate white fruit notes.

Kaplja is a full-bodied white wine made from Chardonnay, Friulano and Malvasia Istriana grapes. It is vinified on the skins and rests for 36 months in large oak barrels. A rich bouquet of aromatic herbs, flowers and sweet spices introduces a soft and full, warm and enveloping sip. Damijan Podversic's Kaplja is a classy and enveloping white produced by one of the icons of Italian wine. When we talk about Damjan Podversic we are talking about the elite of Italian wine, capable like few other producers of restoring territory and emotions with his interpretations. After all, Damijan's teacher is the true legend Josko Gravner, and both have become points of reference in that enclave which acts as a natural watershed between Friuli and Slovenia. The winemaking style is typical of Collio, with white wines produced with maceration on the skins and absolute respect for the territory, avoiding the use of any chemical or synthetic substance to preserve their integrity. Damjian's hand then does the rest, and the wines combine finesse, creaminess and expressive spontaneity. Among the greatest Italian whites, without a shadow of a doubt. Kaplja wine is a white wine obtained from a typical local blend of Chardonnay, Friuliano and Malvasia Istriana with vineyards that rest on Ponka soils located at 110-140 meters above sea level with southern exposure. In the vineyard no chemical or synthetic substance is used and the yields are kept low, while in the cellar we continue with spontaneous alcoholic fermentation in contact with the skins and refinement of the liquid for 36 months in 20/30 hectoliter barrels followed by 12 months of rest in the bottle. The white Kaplja reveals itself in the glass with a bewitching golden and luminous appearance. Nose of great complexity and definition where notes of peach, acacia honey, white flowers and toasted almonds alternate, descriptors that draw an extremely delicious profile. The sip is filling, thanks to a creamy and opulent tactility due to the glycerine component of the liquid and its structure. Timeless classic.

A profound connoisseur of his land and of viticulture in general, Fulvio knows well that one of the fundamental requirements for obtaining great wines is the perfect degree of ripeness of the grapes, as well as their integrity, preserved with respectful agriculture which does not involve the use of any chemical or synthetic substance. Long macerations and patient refinements allow Fulvio to obtain serious and deep liquids, light years away from some modern interpretations that play only on acidity and immediacy. Institutional.

THE WINE Gravner's Ribolla Gialla 'Anfora' is a legendary wine vinified in Georgian amphorae buried for about 7 months, without the addition of selected yeasts and without any temperature control, it is left to mature for years in large oak barrels. It is the result of a very long maceration on the skins, from which 'orange wines'. White unattainable for energy, complexity and charm. THE COMPANY The absolute protagonist of Italian wine and its recent history, Francesco Gravner, better known as Josko Gravner, is a winemaker whose name is intimately linked to that Gorizia Collio which he himself has contributed to making famous throughout the world. A journey that began far away, when still a teenager Josko began to make wine from the grapes of the vineyards planted around the house. The use of steel first, and then of the barrique, mark a road that runs through a good part of the 80s and 90s, until the turning point and the introduction into the cellar of the amphorae from Georgia, from which the name of its wines. A viticulture, that of Josko, which over time has been stripped of any technicality, natural to the point of intransigence, the result of careful work in the vineyard, where for over twenty years any synthetic product has been banned. The over thirty hectares of vineyards, most of which owned, are located in various locations in the municipality of Oslavia, in the province of Gorizia. At an altitude that varies between 150 and 270 meters above sea level, the vines enjoy optimal exposures and grow on typically calcareous and marly soils. In the vineyard, a rigor and a method are applied that lead back to the most ancient popular beliefs of the area and to the most remote local traditions, which over time have proven to be authentic more than anything else. In the cellar, the long macerations on the skins and the very long maturations in wood are natural consequences of a process aimed at enhancing not only the grapes but the entire territory itself. This is how unique wines are born, capable of going beyond any definition linked to organic or biodynamic. From Ribolla Gialla to “Breg Anfora”, from “Rosso Gravner” to “Rosso Breg”, up to the Reserves, we can choose a single word to define them all: simply infinite wines.
TON RIMBAU PORCELLANIC VI XARELLO ORANGEBI 2016 - SPAIN
TON RIMBAU PORCELLANIC VI XARELLO ORANGEBI 2016 - SPAGNA
It all began several years ago when Ton, working in his vineyard, suddenly felt disoriented; he didn't know where he was, affected by the toxic effect of the chemicals used. His immediate decision was to never use synthetic products again in his vineyards. It has now been ten years since he has done chemical treatments, relying on permaculture. The cut grass is left between the rows, as well as the prunings, which thus form a protective layer from the sun's rays, while maintaining the necessary soil humidity. It does not water; the humidity that comes from the sea takes care of this. When it rains a lot, use "horsetail" (Equisetum) and "dama de noche" (Cestrum nocturnum) to remove excess liquids, aloe vera crystals and nettle to moisturize in case of dryness. Life populates its vineyards maintaining the natural balance between wild animals, caterpillars, spiders and birds. He fights diseases with the use of lactic ferments, nettle, rosemary and thyme, creating decoctions with "illuminated water", enriched by the passage of light through colored lids in large plastic containers. He brought chromotherapy to the vineyards using large colored balloons that reflect the sunlight and radiate their beneficial colour. During the harvest (manual) it follows the lunar calendar, identifying the best moment in the waning moon and low tide, using magnetized scissors for harvesting. For fermentation and aging he uses French oak barrels and ceramic eggs. Bottle without clarifying, without filtering and without adding sulfur dioxide in ceramic bottles that protect from exposure to light. The bottles are stored in underground cellars-tanks filled with water and away from the Curry and Hartmann lines (negative geomagnetic points) until they are sold. Ton noticed that color also influences the taste of wine and demonstrated this by comparing "neutral" glasses with glasses "bathed in colored light", discovering that in the latter the wine took on a more "delicate" taste. We are talking about magical wines, sparkling and still, from Xarel-lo and Macabeu grapes, packaged in wooden cases built by the multifaceted Ton without the use of glue.

(Monginello Antico) and “Lavas and pyroclastites that are difficult to delimit with degraded surface morphology” (Monginello Antico-Mongibello Recente). The pedogenetic processes, favored by the predominance of an easily degradable tuff substrate, have generated a medium-deep soil with little skeleton. On the nose, fresh aromas of fruit, citrus, almond, thyme and rosemary. A stunning wine for freshness, elegance and flavor.
Of a bright amber yellow color in the glass, it presents itself to the olfactory examination in an aromatic bouquet in which notes of aromatic herbs with light fruit tones stand out. The palate is rich and intense, with an enveloping minerality. We like Podversic wines because as Giampaolo Penco, owner and director of the VIDEOEST production company, says: “A great work of art is not always produced by a great artist. In Damijan's case, a great wine is the work of a great person and his entire family." Unique wines, the result of strictly organic viticulture, attentive to the balance and health of the plants. No use of modern refining practices, but only natural winemaking techniques learned from the master Josko Gravner. A real point of reference for Friulian wine. And not only.

This Teroldego is a red wine that comes from the vineyards of Mezzolombardo, on soils of alluvial origin and rich in gravel and sand. Of medium structure and intensity, it offers a bouquet with notes of red fruit alternating with mountain herbs, while on the palate it is ripe and pulpy. It is aged for 20 months in wooden barrels. Teroldego Foradori is a territorial and emblematic red that authoritatively embodies Trentino's artisanal viticulture. Yes, because if we think of a figure who more than any other has managed to give a decisive boost to the world of artisan wine, one can only think of Elisabetta Foradori, one of the iconic ladies of wine, who managed to gain this status by virtue of a ten-year activity that saw her embark on a journey that began in 1984, with the management of the family vineyards, and which in 2004 led her to opt for a definitive conversion to biodynamics, in order to preserve the vitality of the soil and its fruits. The local varieties are obviously privileged, so much so that Teroldego, Nosiola and Incrocio Manzoni reach excellent expressive peaks, while the previously planted international varieties have been abandoned in favor of the former. Never as in this case we have to say a name, a guarantee. Teroldego Foradori is obtained from a pure expression of the vine of the same name, with vineyards located in Mezzolombardo, in the Piana Rotaliana. In the vineyard the precepts of biodynamics are followed, therefore no chemical substance is used but only copper, sulfur and preparations, while in the cellar obviously all fermentations take place spontaneously and in the case of this Teroldego, the liquid ages for 20 months in wooden barrels before bottling. The Teroldego wine pours into the glass with the typical dark and impenetrable ruby color. Intense and dense nose, where the vinous incipit gradually gives way to more defined hints of graphite, berries and earth. Pulpy sip, but at the same time agile and snappy, with almost irresistible drinkability. Fruit, saline extension, pleasant tannic friction: complete and very centered liquid. An example of how agricultural gestures can be raised to creativity.

Pinot Noir is the latest vine to arrive on the hills of Tenuta dalle Ore. In the Lessini mountains, characterized by considerable temperature ranges, Pinot Noir benefits from the constant breeze. Furthermore, it maintains a fruity flavor and a strong body while the soil gives it freshness and minerality. Its organoleptic characteristics are as follows: first of all, it has a light ruby red colour. Secondly, its aroma is cherry, violet, dill. Finally, its taste is dry, the red fruit stands out, full and persistent. As for pairings, this pinot noir is excellent with risottos, mushroom-based dishes, roast meats and game. Right in the heart of Trissino, where the Tenuta Dalle Ore is located, we recommend a visit to the imposing Villa Trissino Marzotto. It stands on an ancient stronghold from which it dominates an immense park and the surrounding landscape. The building was designed at the behest of the Trissino family, it was transformed into a luxurious residence in the 1700s and was purchased in 1951 by Count Giannino Marzotto, to whom we owe the credit for having brought it back to its former glory. Prestigious frescoes, statues and an important collection of tapestries created by the Flemish family of weavers Pannemaker on commission from the Gonzagas are still preserved in the Villa today. Therefore, a timeless beauty to admire and an enchanting wine to discover. What more could you want?

Camandula is a wine of altitude, which carries many characteristics of the microclimate with it. Lightness and elegance but at the same time a wild character, shaped by winds and altitudes. A wine without banality, and therefore in no uncertain terms. First he slaps you, then he hugs you. From this other project by Jesus Olivares and Curro Bareno (Fedollos do Couto) comes Camandula from vineyards (a mix of old and new vines) planted near Viana do Bolo on soils composed of citrine quartz and soils rich in shale. The harvest is manual, fermentation takes place with whole cluster indigenous yeasts, maceration is carried out for 2 months and aged for 12 months in used French barrels. Peixes is a project by Jesus Olivares and Curro Bareno. The deep passion and knowledge of their territory of the two Galician vignerons takes shape in the discovery of vineyards from very old vines near the concello of Viana do Bolo where there are granite soils with a high content of orange quartz and granite. Here the altitudes are between 600 and 850 meters above sea level.The philosophy provides the least possible impact with Nature, trying to obtain elegant wines, with pungent acidity and with a well-recognizable fruit thanks also to the large thermal excursions and currents coming from the Ocean Atlantic.

EUGHENOS RAGGIO DI LUNA 2021 - DI CATO - ROSATO TERRE ACQUILANE - MONTEPULCIANO - IGP 2021- ( ABRUZZO ) ITALY
Eughenos Raggio di Luna Rosato Terre Aquilane PGI is the vinification of Montepulciano grapes that fully expresses our territory and tells the story of its people. It is the farmer's wine, the wine that refreshed the long days in the fields, the wine that was never lacking on the table, the wine of the first hangover. Cerasello for me is a state of mind and also a great wine! A wine that over time has rediscovered a unique longevity and elegance, a wine that surprises me year after year in its simplicity. There have been years in which we didn't vinify red but I can't even imagine a year without rosé! There are many processes, we start at the end of February with the pruning and finish at the end of October with the harvest and the preparation of the land for the winter season. We look forward to the moment when the grapes reach full ripeness! It is 13 October 2019, the bunches harvested by hand from the youngest vineyards are destemmed in the morning and left to macerate overnight. It's the night of the full moon, the harvest moon. In the morning the must continues on its own way towards fermentation, in open tanks without the addition of selected yeasts, without temperature control. After 8 months of rest in stainless steel that has not been stabilized, clarified or filtered, the wine is bottled during another magical night between 23rd and 24th June. Eughenos Raggio di Luna is inspired by a famous song by Neil Young, Eughenos Harvest Moon. Independent INDIE, cherry-colored nonconformist as you want it here in the cerasuolo valley. Deliberately downgraded wine.
It was 1993 and Gaetano did not feel the model of the sparkling and ready-to-drink wines from Piacenza was his. From there the turning point. The vintage was very generous in terms of quality and on the advice of a producer friend and his Piedmontese winemaker he decided to try to refine a small quantity of Barbera in a wooden barrel. Barbera and not Gutturnio because the quantity was limited and the small barrel is certainly more suitable for a low-tannic grape variety such as Barbera. The barrel was a Gamba, a 3.5 hectoliter French oak from Allier. Aging for two years and then bottled. The result was a complex, structured, fresh wine. Something that had never been produced in our valley before but wasn't ready yet, needed more time in the bottle to be able to express itself in all its complexity. All this time and all this waiting decreed its name. After a long maceration useful for extracting all the good that resides in the skins, the wines deriving from the three different sub-zones are assembled in identical percentages. The vineyard planted in 2000 is the one from which the most powerful and concentrated must derives. Being a biotype in which the bunches have very small berries, the density of skins in the must is high. The high vineyard is placed on a strip of very rich soil, resulting in a warmer, more mature wine with softer tannins. The old vineyard, planted in 1969, lies on stony ground and gives us a slimmer, more sapid and refined wine. The blending of these three wines allows us to search for complexity in our flagship wine. Aging takes place in tonneaux, 5 and 7 hectolitre wooden barrels, made of French Allier oak. Most of the barrels are exhausted, they no longer have tannins to give to the wine. Our use of wood is to be read as a container, not as an ingredient. We exploit its porosity to have micro oxygenation and a natural settling. Three years after the harvest, the wine is bottled without filtration. Then you wait for the right maturation. Exactly the wait.

A small Alsatian maison with a history dating back to the 18th century, with Patrick Meyer it has become a champion of respect for nature and the production of pure, exciting and sincere wines, an expression of the territory and with minimal human intervention in the cellar. Unlike other last-minute natural producers, Patrick's story has deep origins and is the result of long experience and experimentation. When he finished his studies he joined the company and began to bring modernity and, paradoxically, introduced synthetic products in the cultivation of the 8 hectares of vineyards. Three years are enough to realize the negative transformations introduced by conventional agriculture and with great courage he retraces his steps: in 1985 he resumed his journey towards natural cultivation, first organic and then, ten years later, biodynamic. The desire to create wines of character, a true expression of nature and the territory, leads him to eliminate any additive in the cellar and not to add sulphites, except in some wines, the most delicate, in small quantities. Greedy, energetic and inviting, "LouLou" from the Julien Meyer winery is striking for the originality and expressiveness of the drink. Vin de France Rouge with a fruity and mineral character, it is a wine that leaves you displaced at first impact, partly due to the particular color, partly because it is placed halfway between a red wine and a rosé wine, effectively breaking the mold we are used to. With this label Patrick Meyer best expresses not only the territory of Alsace and the varietal but above all the imprint of nature and its purity. A splendid biodynamic wine with no added sulphites to be savored sip by sip. Pale ruby red, with reflections between pink and orange. The nose offers a pleasant fruity bouquet, among which notes of ripe cherry, rose petals, orange blossom and peel, spices, mushrooms and wet stone emerge. On the palate all the elements are proportionate, with a linear, fruity sip and calibrated acidity.
The Monferrato DOC "Pecoranera" of the Tenuta Grillo company is a rich and complex wine, in which the pleasantly fruity notes of freisa dominate. Wine with slow but progressive development, it is captivating right from the intense color and then conquers the nose, presenting itself incredibly intense and persistent. Blend from red grapes, mainly 75% Freisa, then 10 rbera, 10% Dolcetto and 5% Merlot. In contravention of Guido's habit of working with varietals in purity (hence the name of the wine) it is a mix of tannin (Freisa), freshness (Barbera), softness and intensity (Merlot), worked according to the style of the Estate. Spontaneous fermentation, maceration on the skins, aging in barrels and then a very long aging in the bottle. After the 2003 debut wine, here is the 2005 vintage which rests in the cellar for at least 10 years. The result is an eclectic wine, where the alcohol dictates the stature, the tannin dries the mouth and the Barbera gives vitality.
Obtained from manual harvesting in 20 kg boxes. The destemmed grapes ferment in vats with their own lees at room temperature but slowly thanks to the low temperatures in October which do not exceed 18° on average. Manual punching down at least twice a day, with racking off at the end of fermentation. Unfiltered, unclarified, unstabilised. It rests in steel for 12 months, decanting by sedimentation between one racking and another. During the decanting a small quantity of sulfur dioxide is added. After a year in steel it was bottled and rests in the cellar until it decides to err.
Upon visual examination it shows an intense ruby red colour. The aromas on the nose combine spicy aromas deriving from aging with fruity and flint nuances. On the palate it is very elegant, with an excellent freshness that makes it really easy to drink. It closes with a mineral olfactory aftertaste "Walking the vineyards": three words used by the great Luigi Veronelli to indicate the indissoluble relationship between the grape and those who grow it. An expression very suitable for the figure of Gabriele de Prato, owner of Podere Còncori, who with this Toscana Rosso IGT pays homage to the Garfagnana area.

We can certainly say that Pinot Noir is the most famous and elegant red in the world - for great connoisseurs. Its name derives from the shape of the bunch, similar to that of a pine cone. Progenitor of the Pinot family, he was brought to Friuli in the second half of the 1800s; it is cultivated with excellent results in rather delimited but highly suitable areas, due to the extraordinary nature of the soil, so similar to that which characterizes the Burgundy region. Describing the great class of this wine is certainly not easy: aristocratic, with hints of undergrowth, tar, burnt wood and truffle.
Schioppettino di Bressan is an intense and full-bodied red wine with a strong and very territorial personality, aged for 12 months in large barrels. It is famous for a strong spicy component that evokes black pepper, combined with nuances of berries. The sip is full, velvety and savory, supported by a good freshness. The Schioppettino di Bressan is undoubtedly an unforgettable and distinctive red, by virtue of an aggressive aroma combined with the makings of a champion. Histrionic Fulvio Bressan, one of the most talked about producers for his decisive and clear positions, but at the same time master of the vineyard and profound connoisseur of everything concerning the world of wine, and in particular of what is important to obtain extraordinary liquids such as his. Talking with Fulvio about wine is as much an educational experience as tasting one of his bottles, as it is fundamental for establishing essential concepts such as the degree of ripeness of the grapes, the rejection of chemical substances that compromise the natural environmental balance, the maintenance of low yields and so on. It goes without saying that the liquids bottled by Fulvio in Farra d'Isonzo are one better than the other, but above all they are endowed with an unclonable expressive pride. True example of uniquenessBressan Schioppettino is obtained from pure grapes of the vine of the same name grown in the Farra d'Isonzo area from vines over 30 years old, which rest on soil rich in skeleton and iron oxides. In the vineyard, where nothing is used except a little copper and sulphur, the grapes are harvested slightly late and taken to the cellar to carry out a slow fermentation in steel for at least 35 days. The liquid ages for at least 12 months in oak barrels. The Schioppettino wine appears in the glass with a ruby red color that turns towards garnet. Lysergic and frankly uncontainable nose, a real cauldron that puffs out whiffs of black pepper, tomato, ripe cherry, and earth, in a continuous and dynamic evolution. The sip is no less impactful, endowed with a filling and velvety tactility, and a persistence unquantifiable with the usual parameters. Enthralling experience.
From grapevines, the Gamay planted in 1978, the Malbec and the Gascon in 2003 and 2006 respectively. Strictly manual harvest, one week of maceration, two to four weeks of spontaneous fermentation without temperature control. This is followed by 18 months in wood, a blend of Côt (Malbec), Gamay franc de pied (ungrafted vines) and a rare grape from the Loire called Gascone. This is a beautiful and mysterious wine like the label of Julien's wife and partner, Heidi Kuka. Fragrant crushed berries and spices on the nose, with a dark and savory earth on the palate, and a nice lifting of minerals and acidity. A truly fascinating natural wine from Julien Courtois.
From one of his best company crus, planted on slopes so steep as to make you dizzy, Frank Cornelissen obtains the "Munjebel", Red of the Sicilian lands. Obtained only with the autochthonous Nerello Mascalese, it is a very pleasant red from Etna, with an immediate personality and intense frankness. It has a vivid and sometimes biting drinkability, and is rich in fruity pulp. If you are looking for a direct and substantial but not banal red from Etna, this is the one for you. Ruby red, intense to the eye. The nose develops on fresh hints of red berry fruit, which are followed by mineral puffs and light nuances of medicinal and aromatic herbs. Fresh and fragrant like the nose, fruity, crunchy and with excellent persistence. Frank Cornelissen's cellar is located in Solicchiata, on the northern slope of Etna and covers a total area of fifteen hectares, twelve of which are vineyards. Here Frank Cornelissen cultivates his own vineyards at an altitude between 600 and 980 meters above sea level, breeding exclusively ungrafted vines with very low yields, about 300 grams per plant, and preferring the classic sulfur preparation to chemical treatments. in the smallest possible doses. Frank, of Belgian origin and always passionate about enology, decided years ago to leave his homeland to move to Sicily, after having been to Georgia, to retrace the origins of wine, and then to Spain and Portugal. Having found the "perfect place" on the largest island in the Mediterranean where he could get involved personally as a producer, he settled in Solicchiata (Catania) and in 2001 released his first production. Today Frank carries out an agriculture sensitive to the cycles of nature, so as to support its progress and adapt to it without bending it to the will of Man; in his company, moreover, he cultivates not only typical vines of Etna, such as nerello mascalese and hood but also vines that have almost disappeared such as Grecanico, Francisi and black and white Minnella.
Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is "the king" of Abruzzo varieties. Emidio Pepe describes it as the wine of the future for its immediate beauty and its aging potential. Emidio Pepe's first idea was to produce the best expression of Trebbiano and Montepulciano d'Abruzzo and to do this, aging was the key to achieving the refinement and elegance he was looking for and, at the same time, preserving the youth and energy of the wines. The aging cellar was the first of the cellars to be built at Casa Pepe, a sign of great intuition by Emidio: time. He was in fact a pioneer in leaving bottles of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo in reserve since the early years. He was convinced that not only could they keep well but that his wines had a fundamental need to age to reach their true dimension. As in the past, even today, at least half of the production is stored in the cellar and is released only when the family thinks that the vintage is at its best. In the cellar of the Pepe company, around 350 thousand bottles are stored and continue their refinement. It is a cellar in constant movement as the old bottles are released in small quantities each year, while the young ones are stored and will only be released when they are ready. This is our historical heritage, a library of vintages and a collection of bottles that have been produced over the years with the same philosophy and method to photograph the climate of each season and ensure that each bottle tells its own story.

We have maintained the tradition of tying the shoots with the willow sucker (stropa) which is much more resistant and flexible against the strong winter winds that travel along this hill. Monte Dall'Ora wines are highly territorial and personal artisanal wines. They are the wines of classic Valpolicella, expressions that fully realize our dream, a balance of pleasantness and strength capable of crossing time. They are complex but highly drinkable wines, wines capable of telling a land and a story, wines that express the work and sensitivity of those who work immersed in nature. Each wine is handmade. It comes from the knowledge of a vineyard, from the comparison with its character, from the intuition of what it can naturally express to enhance it without forcing or distorting it. Because for us, taking care of the land means welcoming its living and powerful force, accompanying the birth of a wine from the bunch to the bottle with respect, attention, curiosity and love. Making recognizable wines but different every year, identity wines, is what closest to our hearts is the challenge that catalyzes our every action in the vineyard and in the cellar. It's a letting do rather than a doing, an observing to understand more and more, an immersion in a universe of colours, scents, flavours, contours and nuances that are never the same but deeply linked to the land from which everything comes.

Our history In September 1952 Giuseppe Fellin, an attentive and passionate wine merchant, visited the Parma food fair where he participated in conferences on the healthy properties of mineral water. Giuseppe Fellin remembered that already in 1913 Prof. Lode and Prof. Bamberger of Vienna, analyzing the water sources located on Mount Plose, near his summer residence, found them of excellent quality. After personally experiencing the quality of the water in its springs, he decided to have it officially analyzed. He personally took a demijohn of the precious liquid and on foot, with the pannier on his shoulder, carried the water downstream. The results of those analyzes were excellent and this gave rise to the ambitious project of bottling the water from Mount Plose. In 1953 the first inspections began to be carried out, made even more difficult by the few means then available and the inaccessibility of the places. But in 4 years the factory from which the first bottles of Acqua Plose came out was built. PROPERTY: https://www.acquaplose.com/proprieta/charatteristics/. Numbers that leave a good taste.

Gineprina d'Olanda is a clear Italian expression of the interpretation of the Gin theme in the late 1800s, when the spread of the culture of international blending and the success of foreign spirits became evident also in Italy. The formula is taken from a rare Italian text containing about two thousand liqueur recipes that was very successful at the time. The book was certainly adopted by dozens of distilleries that opened in that period to meet the demands of a thriving and very receptive market for alcoholic beverages. The cost of transport and customs duties immediately made the imitation of imported distillates very profitable. Thus it was that in Italy appeared dozens of cognac, whiskey, gin and rum produced using spices, fruits and natural aromas in alcoholic infusion or alcoholates of the same products by specialized companies. The maximum diffusion of these products occurred during the early twentieth century with the release of the first Italian mixing books, written by Ferruccio Mazzon and Elvezio Grassi, which gave further impetus to the growth of the Italian drinking culture. The advent of the fascist regime in the 1920s which effectively prohibited the use of foreign products and names did nothing but give further life to these productions which were used for mixing international cocktails in Italian and American "bars" of the futurist polybites. With the end of the war, the Italian liquor companies abandoned these productions because the consumer, thanks also to the advent of American culture, preferred imported products or products with foreign connotations. Today the Gineprina d'Olanda returns, in its absolutely original formulation, a real expression of the liqueur culture of the time, consisting of products with simple recipes containing very few flavoring principles. Juniper obviously plays the fundamental role assisted by anise, the hegemonic spice of the time, cloves, cinnamon and mace to give an exotic but absolutely Italian imprint, fruit of the first colonialism that began at the end of the nineteenth century in the horn of Africa.
