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.

There are stories that are not born in a laboratory, but around a table. They carry the soft sound of hand-rolled pasta, the rich aroma of ragù simmering slowly, and that suspended light of Italian Sundays, when everything slows down and seems to remain there, just a little longer. (more…)

There are tastings that linger because they manage to tell a place, a story, a vision of time. This was the case with the masterclass dedicated to Château d’Yquem, held in Florence on April 9th in the rooms of Pandolfini, the oldest auction house in Italy, where the allure of collecting met the culture of wine in a day destined to leave its mark.

There’s a new way to meet, and it runs across the green. At Parco de’ Medici Golf Club in Rome, “Networking on the Green” takes shape as a series of events designed to create authentic connections between people, ideas, and territories, in a setting that blends elegance, sport, and wine culture.

There are wineries where wine is not just produced, but takes shape as a narrative. Cantine Florio is one of them. Walking through its aisles means stepping into a story that does not live only in dates or history books, but unfolds step by step, among casks, aromas, and details that add depth to a wine too often simplified.

My discovery of Umbria at Vinitaly 2026 began in a packed room, with a masterclass capable of conveying far more than a simple tasting. (more…)

From May 17 to 19 at the Maritime Station in Naples, over 200 wineries and 2,000 labels come together for a three-day event blending tasting, culture, and business. (more…)

OperaWine 2026: Italian Wine Looks to the Future Through Excellence, Wine Tourism and New International Horizons The 15th edition of OperaWine 2026 has come to a close, once again confirming…

There are wines that don’t just need to tell their story—they need to defend it. Marsala is one of them. A name that carries an extraordinary history, but also a persistent misunderstanding: that of a product relegated to the role of a cooking ingredient, far from the idea of a great wine. (more…)

In the increasingly heated debate around low-alcohol wines, the point is no longer just how much alcohol is in the glass, but how it gets there. It is along this line that the work of Cantina Marilina takes shape. At Vinitaly, the winery presents two new labels from the Flo line, both at 9.5% ABV, crafted without resorting to dealcoholization. (more…)

There is a moment, in certain events, when you realize that you are not simply attending a tasting. It happens when the narrative goes beyond the product, and the product becomes territory, culture, shared identity. This is exactly what happened in Villareggia, during the Sagra del Brut, where Cantina Luca Leggero hosted a masterclass with a provocative title: “Brut is not a Sparkling Wine.” (more…)

At Vinitaly 2026, wine tourism is taking on a more prominent role than ever before, placing at the heart of the discussion one of the most pressing challenges facing Italian wine today: the gap between the country’s worldwide appeal as a wine destination and the actual ease with which visitors can reach its wine regions.
