<br>Andrea’s blog, a discovery journey through Italian wines, wine makers and much more...
I had my first sip of wine when I was 2, I can still recall that moment like it was yesterday. Sitting on my grandpa knees, sipping the wine he had produced from his glass. For him was one of the best moment of his life, share with his eldest grandson, the result of one year of hard work in the vineyard, for me was the moment where my passion for good Italian wine was born.

My job, often my friends laugh at me when I call it this way, is about tasting plenty of wines, long, hard tasting session and discover new gems and wine makers to work with and unfortunately, a downside of the job, is that you can’t drink a wine without tasting it and give your professional opinion or have your friends asking you to pick the wine when eating out....

In my blog I will write about my adventures whilst discovering the finest itailian wine and bring you the latest news from the world of wine and more specifically, Italian wine.

I will also like to hear what you have to say so please share your views & comments.

  • Never buy wine by its price

    Never buy wine by its price. A couple of days ago I was reading a Naked Wine press release announcing their move to the US and after reading it, I could not avoid writing a post. This is the bit that made me writing: “When we finally worked out that a US$50 (£31) bottle of Napa Cabernet Sauvignon costs US$10 (£6) to make, and we can sell it for US$15 (£9) ... by backing the talent behind the big names and investing in top-quality grapes, we will produce wines equal to the best, at a fraction of the price.”

  • Vinitaly 2012 and passion...

    A couple of weeks ago, like every year, I went to the Vinitaly in Verona and it has, probably, been the best I have been to and if I could use a word to describe it, this word will be passion. Yes, passion. This word also came to my mind when trying to find the difference a great wine from a normal wine

    It is with great pleasure that I write this post about our new arrivals. Together with our Abruzzese Rosato, a fantastic rose wine with cherries all the way, from nose to mouth, we have just received the La Molara range that includes the Falanghina, the Greco di Tufo, the Fiano di Avellino and the Taurasi, all made with grapes grown in 7 hectares of old vineyards located right in the middle of the DOCG area of the province of Avellino
