Il Pareto 1999, More Than Just a Supertuscan
A few days ago I tasted a wine over 25 years old, Il Pareto 1999. An incredible wine, produced at the Tenuta di Nozzole in Greve in Chianti, in the heart of Chianti Classico, from clonally selected Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. A Supertuscan, one...
Sassicaia, the Bordeaux-style wine of Tenuta San Guido
Learning from wine is what I have always done — you discover territories, company philosophies, different grape varieties, just as different are the imprints they leave when you taste them.

Fiorano Rosso: how the wine that no longer existed has evolved
I attended a tasting of the wines from Tenuta di Fiorano organized by Athenaeum at the Hotel St. Regis in Rome. Prince Alessandrojacopo Boncompagni Ludovisi told us about the main events in the family estate's history, presenting the winery's current production — along with a special surprise...

Comparison between Basilico and Feudi San Gregorio
One of the most difficult Italian grape varieties to interpret but with great potential is certainly Aglianico. A variety showing considerable qualitative development that in past decades had always been neglected both in terms of training techniques and winemaking practices, with focus only on the high yields this grape variety can produce...
Umbria: A Thousand Landscapes and Flavors
The Jewel Box of Italy - Umbria: the only Italian region, together with the alpine Valle d'Aosta and the bilingual Trentino Alto Adige, to have no sea access, almost as if wanting to hide its treasures from the raids of frantic and seasonal tourists. Almost as v...
