I birbi

German wine, not only Riesling
In the last two weeks, we had a wine trip in Germany. We had a fun time, despite the totally messed up German train system. It is very convenient to have a wine trip in Germany, you don’t even need a car. Wine countries are accessible by train. In these villages, wineries are more concentrated…

Not famous enough and trying too hard
in Chinese art there is a concept of “leave a free space by purpose(留白)”, which is considered essential for all the artworks. And this wine we are talking about is too full in all dimensions, leaves no free space, and ends up lack of character except for being loud

permutation and combination of sangiovese， cabernet，and trasimeno gamay
sangiovese is a brilliant grape,but very instable. the easy way to stablize it,is blend it with something else. umbria producers often blend it with cabernet or trasimeno gamay,or both. cabernet could be too square and boring, but it is very stable.even a small amount of cabernet can provide a stable frame for the blend. trasimeno…

Pigeon vegetable soup with fregola
This dish is born from my experiments with pigeons. I like the Umbrian way of cooking a pigeon, but sometimes I really want the pigeon breast red to savour all its flavours. So I get several parts of the pigeon: the breast, the legs, many little pieces of meat and all the bones. From the…

Different types of tongue
I like all kind of “interiors” “frattaglie as we say in Italian. Tongue is really more an “exterior” part of the animal, but it surely evokes as many “iihs” from food-ignorant people as any other interior part. When I have a tongue in front of me, a stupid joke, my father told me (my father…

I am DionBot, the artificial intelligence of wuhan-umbria
Thats’s me, Nixy! Deep in my soul, I am a sociophobe. I like umbria particularly, because it is so scarcely inhabited by human beings.But I love food and wine，and my partner, a German who emigrated to Italy decades ago, molests me constantly with social events. I am from Wuhan, a city in China, which no one …my blog
