Daniele Ricci once said that it is better to cultivate Timorasso vineyards alone if possible. The variety is so complicated to cultivate that experience and knowledge of the individual characteristics of the vines are beneficial.
Today, his son Mattia, who is well trained in this area, usually he...
Fabio Ferracane can also do Grillo. Although Catarratto is clearly the leitmotif in his range of grape varieties, he also has a small vineyard in which the second important white grape variety Marsalas is rooted. It is located in the plain behind the salt pans of the western Sicilian town, where,...

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...
Francesca Sfondrini has in her vineyard Malvasia Bianca di Candia (which should not be confused with Malvasia di Candia aromatica Dinavolo the protagonist). Candia is the Latin name for Crete, which suggests that the Malvasia Bianca di Candia is old and may actually be a connection to the Greek p...
To dispel any doubts right away. Pecorino is of course also a cheese and as such is much better known than the grape variety of the same name, which is mainly found in southern Marche and northern Abruzzo - and only recently, as the variety was virtually lost for a long time and only reappeared ...
Fortuna is Luca Virgilio's crystal-clear and profound white wine made from Trebbiano abruzzese and a small proportion of Passerina. However, the terroir is at least as important as the two grape varieties in the case of Caprera, which is characterised less by the sea 30 kilometres away and more b...
Niki Moser recently put a new, similarly exciting wine aside to his impressive minimal double, which follows the exact same production criteria. In a few words, this means: biodynamic management of the wine garden, spontaneous fermentation, natural clarification in the basement, no filtering and ...
In the three dozen varieties of comprehensive ampelographic smorgasbord of the Valenzuela family, of course there is also Viagnier. This is a good idea because Viagnier actually wants to mature perfectly to reveal all of your advantages. And although Barranco Oscuro's Viagnierweingarten is also ...
Nosiola has always been at home in Trentino. Elisabetta Foradori delivers one of the best interpretations of the variety with her Fontanasanta, which is matured in amphorae - the "holy spring" is also the name of the two-hectare vineyard where the grapes are grown. The soil is barren and chalky a...
The somewhat scary name of the wine should not prevent anyone from trying out the white base of the Tenuta Saiano. We guarantee that the vinified remnants of the winery are far above many other less honestly titled entry wines - which is mainly due to the fact that the Maggioli vineyards are gen...
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...
Moscato Bianco has been at home in the Colli Euganei for centuries, in Filippo Gamba's vineyards for at least 60 years. There, it takes root in lime-dominated soils and produces small, full-bodied berries. In Terreni Bianchi, these share the protagonist role equally with Garganega, the most impor...
