Everybody is forgiven who has never heard of the Pascale grape variety - also we only knew about it from hearsay. But then Eugenio Bocchino and Cinzia Pelazza decided to add a few hectares of vineyards in Gallura, Sardinia, to their Barolo vineyard and make a red wine from Pascale in addition to ...

Cinzia Pelazza and Eugenio Bocchino's real home is Barolo, where they produce some of the best Nebbiolos in Piedmont.

Le Pretelle is a single position based on limestone and pebbles with old sagrantine life, from which Francesco Mariani gets the quintessence of what the grape variety has to offer. And that's a lot. Sagrantino lacks nothing - if you read it at the right time and this is generally rarely before m...

Cuvées with Sagrantino have been produced for centuries. Its gripping tannins, full body and variety of flavours predestine it for this. In the past, it was often accompanied by the white Trebbiano Spoletino, but is now almost always complemented by Sangiovese. This provides balance with its inhe...

In the introduction to her book Natural Wine, which is well worth reading, Alice Feiring describes the difficulties of her first attempts at vinification: Little seems clear, with the exception of the choice of grape variety - unusually for an American, she was determined to make her debut with S...

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. In the vineyard, it displays the typical characteristics of its large family: it is robust, ripens late and generally has high acidity levels. Othe...

The idea was as well-intentioned as it was obvious. When Giovanni Dalmasso crossed Nebbiolo and Barbera in his laboratory in 1938, he wanted to combine the best attributes of the two dominant Piedmontese grape varieties: the fragrance and intensity of Nebbiolo with the vibrancy and freshness of B...

The entry-level wine in Rocco di Carpeneto's Dolcetto world - downgraded to DOC by Lidia and Paolo, although this voluntary downgrading is difficult to understand even for us: although the Aur-oura is a classic second wine from the Gaggero and Vicario vineyards, the quality of the grape material ...

Dolcetto is a fantastic variety with one crucial problem: it is overshadowed by Nebbiolo. Whether this is justified or not remains to be seen, but the fact is that in Alba and the surrounding area, every reasonably decent vineyard is planted with Nebbiolo. For Dolcetto - but also for the great Gr...
