On December 10th we hosted the Brunello blind tasting at viniventisei.it . we prepared 9 different wines for the tasting, including 5 Brunellos and 4 Sangiovese taste like Brunello, but the most expensive Brunello is bit corked, so we end up with 8 different wines (but there were 15 bottles because we have 17 guests…
I like orange wines, because I find it reasonable to extract the flavors from the skin. and I like metodo ancestrale(nat pet), because I find this method has the advantage of champagne and is much easier to make. orange wines and nat pet are generally natural wines,so I end up buying a lot of natural…
Everytime i see this guy waiting outside for more and better food, one Chinese praise appears in my mind: 程门立雪 this phrase is about two famous confucius scholars: Yangshi and ChengYi. Yangshi wanted to be ChengYi’s student, ChengYi didn’t want him at first, but Yangshi waited 3 days outside of ChengYi’s house in the snow,…
Some people have a misunderstanding about rosato wine, thinking they are not serious wines, only blank drinks with pretty color. but as a wine professional I would say, that’s not true. There are blank pinky drinks for tourists at the seaside and there are the opposite.On October 27th we had a tasting of 6 Umbria…

italian whites can age. We tried and proved this many times, and we try this again today. we have a vertical tasting of an orvieto classical, 2018-2022 vintages from le Velette, which is made of 60% of grechetto and other autochthonous grapes. All the 6 tasters decided unanimously that, amongst the 5 vintages, the older…
usly there are many good wines from other parts of the Umbria too. Some really brilliant sangiovese and elegant but resistant orvieto classico for example. But they are made of grapes also growing in other regions. while montefalco makes important wines made of typical umbria grapes exclusively. Sagrantino and trebbiano spoletino, this trip is all…
Italians don’t believe in the aging potential of their white wines. but they really should. I have rested again and again, and I confirm that a high percentage of italian wines can age really well. Years ago, I imported an entry level orvieto classico to China (Soana, COOP Monrubio). and there was one bottle forgotten…
