One of the great discoveries of the last vinnatur trade fair. Funambol is probably the best white wine we have ever tasted from Emilia. It is not macerated, has no bubbles, so it is very classic and yet takes on a whole new dimension.
This is thanks in part to Max Brondolo, who works with respe...
Viognier, Incrocio Manzoni, Chardonnay & Sauvignon Blanc. Martin Gojer's white blend may not necessarily reflect the quintessence of autochthonous South Tyrolean grape varieties, but it is nevertheless one of the outstanding examples of Italian wine culture characterised by terroir - which do...
The Tonsur originates on the other side of the Eisack Valley, in a vineyard on the Ritten, the local mountain of the people of Bolzano. The vineyard is called Oberplatten. However, as Martin Gojer's wines are labelled as IGT or simply as Vino Bianco, he is not allowed to put the vineyard name on ...
Cinzia Pelazza and Eugenio Bocchino's real home is Barolo, where they produce some of the best Nebbiolos in Piedmont. However, their hearts have also been beating for many years for the wild, dry landscape of Gallura in north-east Sardinia, which is criss-crossed by huge rocks and deep blue bays....

Trebbiano Spoletino can only be found in and around Montefalco. How the grape variety got there or whether it has always been there is still unclear.

Riesling, but so much more: "planted, picked, crushed and bottled with our own hands. With love, family and friends, with fresh air and lots of fun." That's what Olympia and Hannes from the roterfaden winery say.
And that's actually enough.
But we'll add a few more sentences. Quite simply bec...
Württemberg is red wine country. But even in Swabian climes, Riesling is an integral part of the wine landscape.
What Hannes and Olympia from roterfaden make from it, however, has little in common with the cliché of a German Riesling.
The Riesling Endschleife - an allusion to the geographical ...
Grüner Veltliner is not a monopoly variety of Lower Austria. In fact, it never has been. There are dozens of proofs to the contrary and Georg Schmelzer's interpretation of the grape variety is one of them.
Unlike what we are used to, it does not grow on primary rock and not even on limestone, bu...
Before Etna became a hotspot for completely independent and globally sought-after red wines a good 10 years ago, the greater attention of traders and journalists - who were hardly interested in the region at the time - was primarily focussed on its white interpretations, which were almost without...
Carricante is one of Italy's great white varieties - provided it is grown in the right place and tended by the right hands. The right hands are those of Rori Parasiliti and they know exactly what they are doing; the right place is Mount Etna, more precisely the Pirao site, a vineyard at an altitu...

The Hohenegg is steep and partly exposed vineyard from south-east to south-west. The soils are based on barren Opok, the classic limestone marl of southern Styria, and are influenced by both cool northern winds and Mediterranean air masses. The berries up there are somewhat smaller than usual and...
