La Perucca is a vineyard that lies exactly between Barolo and Barbaresco and is therefore classified as Nebbiolo d'Alba. La Perucca is mainly based on clay, limestone and sand, the planting density is 5000 vines per hectare with an average yield of 1kg/vine. The vineyard was planted in 1995 at an...
La rocca bella, the beautiful rock, is just a stone's throw away from La Morra and yet already outside the sacred zone of Barolo. Cinzia and Eugenio own 1.5 hectares of vines there, which they planted entirely with Nebbiolo in 1997. The soil is mainly based on clay and sand. The Roccabella is the...
The two Teroldego Morei and Sgarzon are the fruits of years of biodynamic vineyard work in two individual vineyards that are particularly suitable for this grape variety. Elisabetta Foradori also spent years working with the Spanish Tinajas before bottling the wines vinified in them. It is not th...
The range of wines that Elisabetta Foradori has produced over the course of her more than 30 years as a winemaker has occasionally shrunk and then grown again. The only thing that has remained stable in the range is her Teroldego, which has always been a guideline for her changing approach over t...
Regent is a Piwi, a fungus-resistant grape variety, and the red complement to the orange-coloured Ambra made from Souvignier Gris.
The vines grow virtually untreated on soils characterised by gneiss and granite on a steep slope near Naturno in the northern Adige Valley. The grapes are harvested ...
The upper part of the Lange Ohn vineyard in Neusiedl provides the chalky base for HP Harrer's Blaufränkisch, which is characterised by cool westerly winds. The rest is made up of small, healthy berries and a precise winemaker's signature, which can be roughly summarised under the keywords: biodyn...

HP Harrer's small winery in Neusiedl and Silvio Messana's Azienda Montesecondo in San Casciano may be a good 1000 kilometres of motorway and a national border apart, but otherwise there are a lot of parallels. Both have been cultivating their vineyards biodynamically for many years and both have ...
Zweigelt was at the top of our personal list of outlawed grape varieties for years. This was followed by Welschriesling, Gelber Muskateller and a few more varieties that have long since received their absolution, as well as Zweigelt. We believe that we have little to do with age milds, but mainly...
Vintages are always a big topic in the wine world. We agree that they are not entirely unimportant, but we do not share the hype about them and are rather sceptical about the views on what is really great and what is rather lousy. Firstly because we can remember massive errors in judgement since ...
The Rét originates from Alexander Koppitsch's Easy-Drinking-Series, which Koppitsch aficionados still remember under the name "authentic wines". Rét is Hungarian and means grassland, which in turn is a reference to the fact that cattle used to graze where Zweigelt and St. Laurent grow today.

Cupramontana is white wine country. At 500 metres above sea level and in the shadow of Apennine peaks up to 1500 metres high, this is hardly surprising. And yet in the capital of Marchegian wine, there is a tradition of giving a voice to short-macerated and fresh red wines alongside weighty white...
In addition to the Le Trame, her milestone, Giovanna Morganti also covers the "5", whose name does not owe any negative assessment by school chiefs, but simply the house number of her winery. The foundation is the same as for the Le Trame and the fabric from which the wine is made of the wine is ...
The Le Trame has been showing for a good two decades in which direction in the Chianti. To speak to Jonathan Nossiter's words, he is "Liquid Memory". But he is also a bridge into the future, a wine that brings together the history of a style (Chianti) and the handwriting of a great winemaker. Gio...
