Six glasses are lined up on the table. Three contain Gaglioppo, three Barolo. No labels. No clues. Just the wine and those called upon to interpret it. The tasting is…

When we think of a wine region, our minds often turn immediately to the wine that best embodies its spirit. It is the reflection of an identity shaped over time, the result of a silent dialogue between people and nature. What is far less common is for the name of a wine or a territory to instantly evoke the name of a producer. (more…)

Some wines belong to a place, while others, despite being deeply rooted in their origins, possess the ability to engage in a dialogue with distant lands. Chianti DOCG belongs to the latter category. (more…)

There was a time when rosé wine was often seen as a “middle ground” category: neither white nor red, frequently confined to summer aperitifs or communicated through a light and superficial narrative. Today, however, the landscape has changed dramatically, and Italian rosé is experiencing a new era defined by identity, territory, character and an increasing focus on quality. (more…)

Among the most authoritative voices in Italian food and wine journalism, Luciano Pignataro has spent decades observing the evolution of wine, gastronomy, and regional identities. (more…)

In the increasingly competitive world of Italian sparkling wines, building a clear identity has become essential. It is from this need that Casa Pisoni was born, the new project created by the historic Pisoni family and presented in Rome at Hotel Chapter. More than a simple rebranding, the launch represents a true statement of intent: giving a precise and recognizable identity to the family’s world of Metodo Classico and Trentodoc sparkling wines.

Twenty years told through thousands of glasses, encounters, territories and new visions of wine. The twentieth edition of VitignoItalia once again transformed Naples’ Stazione Marittima into a major crossroads for Italian wine, confirming itself not only as one of Southern Italy’s leading wine events, but also as a privileged observatory on the changes currently reshaping the contemporary wine world.

There was a time when telling the story of wine, food and territories meant, above all, taking the time to listen. Long before social media, influencers and content designed to last only a few seconds, Mario Soldati had already understood that true gastronomic storytelling was born from people, landscapes and the stories hidden inside a trattoria or a wine cellar.

There is a phrase that, for those born between Florence and its surrounding hills, is not merely a song but something closer to a call of the heart: “La porti un bacione a Firenze” (“Bring a big kiss to Florence”). Odoardo Spadaro wrote it in 1937 thinking of the nostalgia felt by those far from home, yet even today those words seem to describe the almost visceral bond between Florence and its land. (more…)

There is a common thread linking the sea of the Maremma, the freshness of Sangiovese and a new awareness of the ageing potential of Morellino di Scansano. This was the key message emerging from the third edition of “Morellino del Cuore”, the project born from the collaboration between the Consorzio Tutela Morellino di Scansano and journalists Roberta Perna and Antonio Stelli, with the aim of promoting one of Tuscany’s most distinctive appellations through an annual selection of wines chosen by industry experts.

Hungary is one of the most fascinating—and still relatively undiscovered—wine countries in Europe. A nation with centuries-old traditions and an extraordinary territorial diversity, expressed through 22 distinct wine regions. From the volcanic soils of Tokaj to the rolling hills of Transdanubia and the more continental inland areas, Hungarian wine reflects a unique balance of nature, history, and culture. (more…)
