Viticulture in South Tyrol has ancient roots: at least 3000 years ago, since, in some areas, sickles were found for pruning, very similar to those still used, dating back to that historical period. Although Martin Abraham and his wife Marlies are aware of carrying such a cumbersome past on their shoulders, they run a winery that, starting from a handful of years ago, has begun to produce wines, which have gained the attention of critics and wine lovers.

Campill 2019, Pranzegg

To fully understand the intense bond that holds Martin Gojer, and his wife Marion Untersulzner, at Maso Pranzegg it is worth taking a few steps back and clarify what a Maso is: a clearing, with a peasant house and barn, with attached the surrounding plots of land, intended for animal husbandry, agriculture or viticulture. So far there seems to be nothing strange since a farm consists more or less in the same housing/ productive solution. [Read more…] about Campill 2019, Pranzegg
Bramaterra I Porfidi 2010, Tenute Sella

The story that binds the Sella family to viticulture, is a story that I always like to tell, because, although the tendency of wealthy families to invest in the agricultural sector tout court is a well-known tradition (not only in Italy), what makes this story different is the choice of the place to invest. Already in 1671 the Sella family bought the first plot in Lessona, the one destined to become the nucleus of the estates, and continued to expand without ever leaving the enclave of Upper Biella, ignoring the easy enticements of the wine-growing territories that have become progressively more famous.

‘L Franc Bandit 2010, Proprietà Sperino
Sometimes life makes strange paths, and so a scion of a famous family of doctors-surgeons, Felice Sperino, after undertaking the studies of the Aesculapius profession, remains accidentally dazzled by some registers, kept in the library of the noble house, which contains the detailed descriptions of numerous harvests of the 19th century.

Barbera d’Asti Asinoi 2020, Carussin
I believe that when we talk about a wine it is necessary to be sincere to the core and, true to my ethical conviction, I confess from the beginning that the wine I am about to talk about has my sympathy, that is why my impression of it is inevitably improved.
Everything was born from an exchange of impressions, at an event of natural wines, between me and Matteo, son of Bruna Ferro, the owner of the Carussin company, the famous biodynamic winery in the south of Monferrato Astigiano. While I was tasting the wine I’m going to tell you about, I asked Matteo its price (I don’t think the merchant attitude will ever abandon me), and received for answer a miserable “12 euros and a half”.

Coste della Sesia Ciuèt 2012, Azienda Vitivinicola Lessona – Pietro Cassina
History indicates 1830 as the year around which the official birth of Barolo can legitimately be determined, defined with a phrase, erroneously attributed to Count Camillo Benso di Cavour, that sounded like: “the king of wines, the wine of kings”. After 200 years Barolo is alive and marching with us, and this has had two consequences: the first was the explosion of the “Langhe-phenomenon”, the second was the fact that the Langhe themselves have almost totally monopolized the world of wine-critics, despite the Piedmont is rich in productive enclaves in which the Nebiolo gives rise to fascinating productions Although it is not possible to establish a definitive date, also because we are talking about a work in progress still developing itself, wine lovers have begun to rediscover these other productive enclaves, especially those located in Northern Piedmont.

Merlot 2016, Miani
Although the name of Enzo Pontoni says relatively little to the vast majority of wine consumers, it is worth mentioning that it is the mind and arms behind Miani winery, producer, with incredible constancy, of rare and legendary wines. The story of Enzo begins around the early ’80s when he decided to leave the engineering sector, where he worked, to take care full-time of the Buttrio family winery (10 kilometers southeast of Udine), and the family vineyards, between Buttrio and Corno di Rosazzo, in the denomination Colli Orientali del Friuli.
