Venice and Loredan Gasparini Winery: A Gateway for Artistic Freedom

The unique history of Venice’s leadership has made it, for centuries, a hotbed for creativity, a sanctuary for refugees and allowed outlying vineyards to experiment to find various expressions of different terroirs. One winery was able to show that a well-known sparkling wine area was able to make a red Bordeaux blend to take the world by storm.

Sicilian Wines Embracing Innovation while Respecting Tradition

The only way that most wine regions can keep up with global competition is by focusing on progress - although I feel that sometimes, in the name of improving the past, wine producers can lose those precious treasures that are the heartbeat of that area; it is nice to see wineries in Marsala significantly improving on tradition while staying true to their area’s heart

Bodegas Valentin Bianchi: Italian Wines Influencing the World

A wine lunch in NYC to taste a selection of Argentine wines from Bodegas Valentin Bianchi showed how much Italian culture has influenced the world. A great reminder of how grateful I am that Italians continue to bring their passion for life wherever they go and inspire others to give themselves over to the love of food, the love of wine and the love of living a good life.

Frescobaldi Wine Creating a More Compassionate World

Frescobaldi Toscana’s newest wine project working with prison inmates on the penal colony island of Gorgona, off the coast of Tuscany, shows a glimmer of hope for second chances. A tasting with Lamberto Frescobaldi gives an insight into the moment he realized that some incarcerated criminals are capable of living a better life when released if given the tools they need to function in society.

A Wine that Tickles Our Mind and Warms Our Heart: Amarone della Valpolicella

An opportunity to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Valpolicella DOC in Verona, Italy, as well as participate in the first Valpolicella Education Program offered a chance to unlock the mysteries of the seductive powers of their great wine, Amarone della Valpolicella. A wine that is not only rich is flavor and weight, but one that is connected to a wealth of historical riches that are beyond our imagination.

Brian Larky’s Italian Wines, When People Live Up to Their Reputation

It can be overwhelming to look for high quality, small family Italian wine producers. Since the US market is saturated with wine producers from Italy, it can be a Herculean feat to pick a special wine at a fair price. But finding those certain individuals, and companies, that we can trust that select these wines to import into the US can make this stressful task achievable for mere mortals.

Ferrari Trento, Italian Mountain Sparkling Wines Fly High

A recent visit to Trento, Italy, to the sparkling wine producer Ferrari Trento, placed me in a position where I had to face one of my biggest fears – riding in a helicopter. In the end, this life changing experience taught me that sometimes it is worth taking a leap of faith to experience some of the best things in life, such as Trentodoc sparkling wines.

Michele Chiarlo, The Man Behind the Wine Legend

My time spent in Piedmont with Michele Chiarlo is a great reminder that the tough times in our lives can inspire us to improve the world around us. He is a man who truly helped place Italy on the fine wine map with his Barolo wines that some wine connoisseurs argue to be the greatest wines in the world.

Donnafugata: the Right Wine by a Reassuring Sicilian Family

When you don’t have a family, you either look at those who have a dependable, warm one with toxic jealousy in your heart or you open your heart and allow someone else’s devoted, personal tribe to fill your heart with everything that is good in life. I have chosen to do the latter. And one family that I greatly admire is the winemaking family of Donnafugata in Sicily
