Cortese with a difference. With Baccabianca, everything that the grape possesses is extracted. Every phenol, every pigment and every flavour particle from the grape skin finds its way into Guido Zampaglione's wine. After spontaneous fermentation, it matures for years in steel tanks and for even m...

The Igiea is a single-varietal Barbera from the Alto Monferrato. However, as this is not allowed to appear on the label, because in Italy, as in all other European countries, there is a somewhat confused idea of how a grape variety and a region should manifest themselves in a wine, Guido Zampagli...

Freisa, the protagonist in this blend with an 80% share, is one of the most exciting grape varieties in Piedmont. As a close relative of Nebbiolo, it has very similar attributes - subtle aromas, robust acidity, plenty of tannin and immense ageing potential - but has one actually positive characte...

Dolcetto plays the leading role and no other variety has a say. It is matured in old vats, fermented beforehand with its own yeasts, the maceration time is long (40 days), the harvest is manual and the work in the vineyard is geared towards minimal yields (2500kg/ha). The wine only contains micro...

Romagna is Sangiovese country. Some believe that this is where the great central Italian grape variety originated - and not in Tuscany.

‘As long as they pour you water on the Via Emilia - the road that leads from Milan to Rimini - you are in Emilia, but as soon as they give you wine to drink, you are in Romagna (Antonio Baldini).’ And not just any wine, but Sangiovese, the red queen of Italian grape varieties, the origin of which...

The somewhat intimidating name of the wine should not deter anyone from trying the white base of Tenuta Saiano. We guarantee that the vinified remnants of the winery stand far above many other less honestly labelled entry-level wines - which is mainly due to the fact that the Maggioli family's vi...

Rossese is sensitive, delicate and subtle. Its colour is as transparent as contact lenses and lighter than blood. After a few years, it changes to a rust-coloured orange. It ages moderately, oxidises easily and only makes work. It is therefore understandable that there are only just under 80 hect...

Antonio Perrino is a garage winemaker. He was one even before the term was taken up in Bordeaux, stripped of its actual meaning and used to formulate a marketing idea and communication strategy, which was then implemented - consistently as always in Bordeaux.

There is no shortage of animals in the world of wine. Many of them roam the vineyards, some - mostly small ones - animate the soil, while others are at home in dry stone walls. We don't know any winegrowers without dogs, but many also have horses, cats, sheep or goats at home. In Italy, there are...

Bardolino is located on the south-east shore of Lake Garda. In the hierarchy of Italian wine regions, it tends to be at the lower end. This was not always the case. There were times when the wines of the region were in no way inferior to those of Valpolicella. But then, at some point towards the ...

Bardolino, the small wine region around the town of the same name on Lake Garda, was once famous for its rosé wine - Chiaretto. It became a victim of mass tourism on its shores. Daniele Delaini from Villa calicantus has been bringing it back to its former glory for some years now, undeterred by ...

Lasupperiora bridges the gap between the delicacy and subtle fruit flavours of Soracuna - Villa Calicantus' entry-level wine - and the substance and depth of Avresir, the winery's red flagship.
