Sparkling wines, Prosecco, Franciacorta and Champagne: the entire world of bubbles.
d'Araprì's Thirty-Fifth Anniversary: a Story of Courage
d'Araprì is one of the southern wine producers I love most. A courageous choice by Girolamo D'Amico, Louis Rapini and Ulrico Priore who in 1979, now 35 years ago, began their venture within the enormous and varied Italian wine landscape...
Feudi San Gregorio, the concept bar at the airport and the Dubl+
Feudi di San Gregorio is a winery that certainly needs no introduction! A beautiful facility, a thriving reality built on expertise and know-how, a company with a capital C that has found a way to stand out and showcase the territory through the quality of its leadership.
Bouquet Tenuta Primavera: a rose without thorns
Around San Severo there are some truly excellent wines! We had already been there to taste the Gran Cuvée by D'Araprì, and since we are still enthusiastic about it, we decided to put our trust in the sparkling wines of the area! The wine we will tell you about...
Prosecco Superiore "Vecchie Viti": The Sip of Eternity.
D.O.C.G. Brut. Ruggeri, Valdobbiadene. Never had an "ancient" Prosecco? I'm lying in the garden. Before me, on an old cast-iron table that exudes a sense of rococo, Neruda's "Elemental Odes," in a worn edition that seems even more gaunt than the small cabinet that holds it, on this late afternoon far from being wrapped in summer warmth...

Tiati Teanum: a sparkling wine from the south
We have recently been greatly appreciating those who seek to produce sparkling wines that stand out from what is typically found on the market. Generally, as soon as people hear about sparkling wines, they think of French Champagne, Prosecco, wines from Trentino, or for "those with a sweeter tooth," the various Asti – in any case, wines from northern Italy or beyond the Alps.
Vola Lontano: a Campanian Sparkling Wine

A dinner with a dear friend is not something I dream of letting slip by, so I decide to buy a few things, from a gift for the star of the evening, to dessert and of course some bubbles to do justice to the new home as well...
