This popped into our email this morning. Cannot *wait* to go taste the latest and greatest in Sinio.
Lugana!
Whatever you’re eating tonight, it probably isn’t this good!
Dolcetto Masters
Our friends at Fratelli Mossio truly are. While many Piemontese are finding themselves pressured to uproot dolcetto plantings to chase international markets with loftier nebbiolo offerings, Valerio Mossio and family stay true to their roots. Dolcetto is what they do, and man, do they do it well.
Italians Do Eat Better (Slow Food!)
One of our favorite things about Italian food culture is simply that the entire nation–despite being more than 20 distinct regions with *very* distinct food cultures and styles–stands as a monument to the concept of being connected to where your food comes from. Food should not be fast! Great food requires patience.

Save Bonamico!
This is a great opportunity to help artisanal Italian viticulturalists preserve an ancient, almost extent variety of grapevine that otherwise might not be around much longer. It’s worth preserving.
We gave to the cause, and you should too!

Looking for a gift idea for the gardner in your family? Look no further.
These would look really at home in someone’s courtyard in Venice. Need to find a lucky winner over there.

When I win the lottery, I’ll be drinking this stuff daily. Forza Langhe!
Riccardo Sgarra with Paolo Scavino
When I was a student in Boston, I tried to go to as many wine tastings as I could. At a Vineyard Road tasting I ran into Riccardo who works at Paolo Scavino. It is always a pleasure when someone who works at the winery or makes the wine comes to the tastings. It makes it a lot more personal. I met Riccardo again when I was in Barolo last summer, he gave me a tour of the winery and then we tasted some wines. They were as good as I remember.
You can check out their wines here.
