Amarone Corte Giara, another gem from Allegrini
We have already met Allegrini, a winery in Valpolicella with a century-old history in wine production, which in more recent times has extended its wine offering to products from two estates in Tuscany. On that occasion we spoke...
Valdobbiadene Cartizze Superiore Col Vetoraz: the wine chosen by the Obamas
Today we're in the mood for bubbles again! Our choice fell on a Veneto winery: Col Vetoraz, located at the highest point of Cartizze, in S. Stefano di Valdobbiadene, at about 400 meters above sea level, in a corner of paradise from which you can admire this fantastic area packed with vineyards!...
Beauty and attention to detail: tasting Infinity
I am a person who pays great attention to details, particulars, and product presentation; I believe packaging plays its part, but at the same time I am wary of products that are too carefully designed to please at first glance. It is...
Not Just Amarone: We Taste Corvina Castelforte
Veneto is a magnificent region, full of fantastic and welcoming people and excellent wines. The prejudices that grip this corner of Italy are truly many: from the idea that Veneto only thinks about work, to the stereotype of the racist Veneto — and even when it comes to wines, some people only talk about Amarone and Prosecco, or at most Ripasso...

Recipe: Riso Vialone Nano with Tastasal and Wine Pairing
The "risotto col tastasàl" is a typical dish of Veronese cuisine prepared with the local rice, vialone nano, and fresh sausage mixture (the tastasal!).

THE NEW SPARKLING WINES: DURELLO OMOMORTO In Gambellara, among the hills straddling the Vicenza and Verona areas, lies the cantina Menti Giovanni. This unique winery follows the principles of biodynamics, whereby agricultural production operates in an ethically respectful manner towards the environment and labor, so as to produce foods that nourish the whole human being, not just the physical component ...
RIVE: The Cru of Valdobbiadene prosecco superiore DOCG
