Il giudizio dei pari

"I consumatori commentano e danno voti ai prodotti degustati, creando canali d'informazione paralleli a quelli 'tradizionali', grazie ai social media. E spesso ha più effetto su chi legge l'opinione di molti che si considerano simili, rispetto a quella di un singolo guru. Chissà che alla fine gli equilibri non finiscano per rovesciarsi".

Soave: An Ancient Tale, A Modern Wine

Once upon a time, a beautiful princess lived in a majestic castle. The castle was situated high above a quaint village and was surrounded by lush, rolling hills and bright green vineyards. The princess’s name was Imperatrice, and she was married to a young Italian nobleman and count, Federico. He was a warrior, and sometimes went off to do battle with his relatives—the Scaligeri, lords of a neighboring city—leaving his young wife home alone. Though this wasn’t the most agreeable behavior in a husband, Imperatrice didn’t mind, because she kept herself busy with charitable work, in partnership with several other noblemen’s wives.

Inchiesta: Un vigneto al verde

"Investigaciòn, più desarrolo, più innovaciòn. E' la formula del successo di Regalìa de Ollauri, una bodega spagnola nata appena nel 2004 e che grazie alla collaborazione con il Gruppo Sapje, azienda riojana specializzata nello sviluppo delle energie rinnovabili, è diventata la prima azienda vinicola geotermica al mondo".

Gusto in Scena: Good Taste on the Scene

"Venice, Italy, recently played host to Italy’s Gusto in Scena—Good Taste on the Scene. The event, the brainchild of journalist Marcello Coronini, is the first show in Europe to combine three events in one: Chef in Concerto (Chefs in Concert), a gastronomic congress for top chefs; I Magnifici Vini (Magnificent Wines), an international wine tasting; and Seduzioni di Gola (Seductions of the Palate), an exhibition devoted to Italian delicacies".

Amarone Preview Vintage 2006

"There was a particularly festive atmosphere this year at “Amarone Preview Vintage 2006” for two unsuspecting reasons. For years, Valpolicella was considered a prestigious Italian wine region, but wasn’t formally recognized until it was awarded the “Wine Region of the Year 2009″ by the authoritative American magazine, ‘Wine Enthusiast‘. The other four wine regions in the running were: Champagne, the Rhone Valley in France, California’s Russian River Valley, and Stellenbosch in South Africa, all of which provided very stiff competition".

I Picai del Recioto

"Picai, li chiamano. E' il particolare metodo per appassire le uve in uso a Gambellara e dintorni: caratteristici lunghi spaghi che pendono dai soffitti dei fruttai (i tradizionali locali aereati di cui è dotata ogni cantina veneta che si rispetti)...".
