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.

2009 and wine
First of all, happy New Year to all of you and lets hope the 2009 will be a fantastic year for all of us. Mine has not started that well, I got ill on the 1st of January and I am now starting to recover. What the 2009 will bring to us, wine lover? I don’t know yet, my rational side tells me a lot less good wine, the emotional side, wants to believe that there will still be plenty of good wine to enjoy.

Red, rose' and white wine
Recently I keep reading about the growth of the rose’ wine and the fall of the red wine and none of the articles read tries to explain the reason. My explanation for this growth is the age of the UK market.

This process, called chaptalisation is not always permitted, each country has a different legislation. In Italy it is forbidden, in France it is forbidden as well however, depending on the quality of the vintage, can be authorised yearly by the Government.
