Barbera del Sannio Castelvenere: fruit of tradition
Did you know that Barbera is not only a Piedmontese grape? No, no one attempted to experiment and plant vines of this type in the Sannio; we are simply faced with a case of homonymy! Certainly less known than its cousin, this grape bears very little resemblance to it ...

Dear friends of WineatWine, today I want to tell you about a wine that was given to me as a gift by a friend from Campania and, obviously, out of "local pride" (!!!) it is a product from his region; objectively, I must admit that it is truly a great wine. Let's start...
Recco: not just focaccia but also Bicesco Bianco
Today we are in Liguria, in the land of cheese focaccia: Recco; I love this product which has held IGP certification since 2012; I enjoy pairing it with an Isaac Baladin; but that's another story: as always, we'll be talking about wine. Al...
