i caught the robot bullshiting
i caught the robot bullshiting I find DionBot performs very well if there is already enough published content on a certain topic, but if there is not, he just starts to bullshit, and he is really a master of bullshiting. Here is our conversation: What is the difference between sangiovese in Tuscany and sangiovese in…
the blind tasting, Brunello or not?
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…
our natural wine tasting
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…
italian rose,always versatile and often misunderstood
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 wines should make themselves easier for customers
At one of our tastings, a guest, who was born and grew up in Rome and now lives in Brussels, told me that she prefers French wines to Italian wines. To be specific, she prefers haut medoc. I was very surprised, and asked her why. Basically, it’s because if you are not an expert on…
Il Frantoio
We wanted to make a trip out of Buonrespiro. An incentive to have dinner outside was a block of the draining pipes to be repaired only the next day. So we decided to go to Lubriano a charming village just on the other side of the Umbria/Lazio border. On the way we visited Casa Vespina…
A drinking trip in the core of umbria wine
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…
Italian whites can age
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…
